This evening I’ve been doing some testing in Python<\/a> to see the language power. I love making little videogames, so, why not to try it in Python?<\/p>\n

Pygame<\/a> is a module that makes easier the task, providing classes and functions to manage the display, sprites, collisions, fonts… and has a documentation<\/a> good enough. Using that documentacion, the Python language reference<\/a>, a sprite managing tutorial<\/a> and googling here and there, I’ve developed this tiny example: a number mental calculus videogame.<\/p>\n

\"Number<\/div>\n

The player starts with the number zero, and collecting some sheets in a particular order, can perform arithmetic operations on his\/her base number in order to get the goal number.<\/p>\n

The main character in the game has “momentum”, so it’s a bit tricky to have control over it. You can press [ESC] whenever you wish to terminate the program, and then press any key.<\/p>\n

If you like, you can download the source code<\/a> and try it. I would be very proud of reading comments about it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

2007-03-11 UPDATE<\/b>: I’ve received a request to make clear under which license is the code published. You can consider the python source code file (and NOT the icon files)published under public domain<\/b>, as well as under GPL license<\/b>. The problem about the icons are that they are borrowed from some KDE style package I can’t remember about (and I’ve tried hard). Such package should be GPL or similar also, but I can’t state it for sure.<\/p>\n

2008-11-26 UPDATE<\/b>:
\nI’ve adapted the source code to run on Ubuntu Hardy. Download the new version from here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
