Just Another by Willowblade

[raw]
made by Willowblade for LD25 (COMPO)
It's actually just the engine I created for the game I had in mind. I'll keep working on it though, I'd just like feedback on how it plays and perhaps some pygame tips.

This download is fully open source, and can only be run by having python 2.7 and pygame installed.

First game ever and actually happy, shame I grinded so much time on geometric math and learning pygame

The windows download won't run out of the box:
- Your startup script is a sh script. Windows won't know how to execute it by default (it should have the extension cmd or bat).
- The game requires a valid Python interpreter as well as pyGame installed, so I'd suggest you provide precompiled binaries or link all required components (in case there are more).

Okay, got it running after installing pyGame. I like the style (and Zelda'ish games in general). However, I haven't been able to leave the first room, maybe I did something wrong?

Reminds me of classic games like Zelda sorta.

Yeah sorry for that, I made a post on it but didn't post the text in my game description. I'd better do that. So sorry! I ran out of time to code the level progression which is really lame, I put way too much time in the geometry of my rotating sprites. So it's more of an engine than an actual game for now. Thank you for the feedback, and trying to run it. I forgot I actually left the .sh in there, I made it in Linux

Nice graphics and controls. The game itself doesn't add much. I didn't know what to do after killing the two guys. The interact key doesn't do anything. Neither does the right click.

I'd love to try this, but PyGame doesn't like my computer (mostly because I have both Python 2.7 and 3.0 installed).

Next time, include EVERYTHING out of the box.

I won't run past the opening screen for me (because of a math error.)

I am on Linux, but I will try for Windows later.

Still doesn't work on Windows for me. It still says module problems. (I got it wrong last time when I said math.)

I use pygame a lot, but when i try to run this I've got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 277, in <module>
main()
File "main.py", line 202, in main
e.angle = ai.angle_2(player1, e)
File "C:\Users\jfroco\Downloads\Just Another\ai.py", line 19, in angle_2
angle_rad = math.atan(x_diff/y_diff) #POS
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'atan'

I checked ai.py and seems OK.

My python installation seems OK too:

Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import math
>>> math.atan(1)
0.7853981633974483

Strange

I've changed in ai.py

from math import atan,degrees,pi

and all the math.atan, math.degrees, math.pi calls and it worked.

Weird.
