Redspace by filtoid

[raw]
made by filtoid for LD30 (COMPO)
Redspace represents how far I got with Ludum Dare 30. Sadly I hit some technical problems and subsequently wasn't able to finish. Unfortunately it wasn't finished to the point of being a game really.

To Run:
PyGame must be installed then simply run main.py (I hope to improve the experience of this and compile using py2exe or similar)
It should run on Linux, MacOS and Windows (assuming that Python and PyGame are installed)

Keys:
Use W,A,S and D to move.
Space is fire a missile.
Press E when inside a portal to be transported to a different coloured universe.

Known Issues:
The 'game' doesn't have enough code in it to count as a game per se. I've included it because I'm still happy with how far I got and if anyone wants to take the code and make their own version then please feel free.

There are performance issues with the code - it doesn't have a properly implemented game loop so timing is a big problem.

Please help me out by posting any issues that you have with the game.

Post Compo:
Post Compo code will be posted here:

Would be nice if you could make a executable version or web version of your LD48 entry. Lot of people don't want to install all kind of libraries to rate games.

Good luck in future LD's :)!

I fixed the error by adding another space in front of line 92.

It looks OK, but obviously not a playable game. I think it would be better if you added rotational momentum, and faster forwards acceleration
