After Adam's victory in the last PyDay, I couldn't let him hog all the limelight, so I threw something together yesterday for PyDay #6. A theme of "Surveillance" led me down a Cold War-inspired path of Soviet kitsch. Adam and Chard both egged me on considerably, and the result is a fun little thing called KGB Training Simulator: Detection Avoid. If you like mock-Cyrillic lettering and pixel-perfect runs through corridors full of lasers, then it's the game for you.

The competitions are coming thick and fast. Pymike, the PyDay organiser, has seized the opportunity for another PyDay in no less than 8 days time! That is, of course, March 14th so PyDay will be on Pi Day.

CATERPILLAR FEVER DREAM!!

Well, without really having planned to, I spent today writing a game for PyDay #5. Having checked out the themes just before going to bed last night, it looked unlikely that there would be any big surprises come the announcement ... until I discovered that, some time between my going to sleep and the official selection being made, someone managed to sneak "lettuce" onto the list of theme candidates.

Upcoming: PyWeek 8
By chard on Tuesday, February 10 2009, 14:52 - Challenges
PyWeek 8 has been announced for the week from April 26 to May 3, much later that usual. For the unfamiliar, PyWeek is a biannual game programming challenge where entrants must write a game in one week, using Python and based around theme released at the start of that week. Its often a lot of fun and provides significantly more scope for producing very complete games with very thorough feature sets that shorter game sprints.
We shall be entering as usual and hope to cause less motion sickness this time around. In other news, there're rumours of another PyDay in a weekend not too far from now; the scheduling of such things is ad hoc as far as I can gather. Anyway, look out for the results from that.
