Frozen Solid by TMKCodes

[raw]
made by TMKCodes for LD29 (COMPO)
The idea was to build a game where the player could control group of spacemen who had crashlanded into frozen planet. Since their ship crashed deep into the ice, they have to reach the surface of the frozen planet for sending SOS signal. Though this is really hard, because of limited supplies.

The submission does not have:
* multiple characters to play with
* monsters to fight against.

Wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing. The idea sounded good though, so it could be fun once you get a little further on the implementation.

The windows link is a bunch of .py files...?

Yeah.. I realized after I submitted I did not add anything which would tell how to complete. But the main objective is to go up as far as you can and take radio and press s.

Seppel read the readme. I did not make executable. It requires python.

While trying to run the Windows version, I get an error: "File 'main.py', line 13: if not pygame.font: print 'Warning, fonts disabled' SyntaxError: invalid syntax" and there's a little arrow pointing to the "'" after the world 'disabled'. Hope this helps.

Same thing as manabreak said

Windows build seems to be just the source (not an actual build)

Hmmm, is there a way to pack python sources into binary for windows? Would make playing it an awful lot easier :(

It requires Python2 not 3.. Pygame does not work in 3 as far as I know..

There is pyinstaller, but I don't know how to use it. This was my first time programming with python..

I needed some time, before i figured out how to remove blocks. And then i digged down instead of up :) Could be pretty fun game when it's finished.

I did not downloaded it because comments say it doesn't work, so I don't rate it.

An Executable would be nice. The obstacle to install additional runtimes is too high.
