Join the community over at glorioustrainwrecks.com\nhttps:\/\/www.glorioustrainwrecks.com\/node\/5279\n\nThe game:\nin this game you have a lot of bricks and a slingshot and an empty field. you must use your expert slingshot skills to build a home for you to live in. click to equip the brick, click again to launch the brick, and once a brick has landed you can click again to equip a new brick. When the bricks go vertically off the screen, the vertical coordinate is negative. That's because this is a \"vi deo game\".\n\nOn Windows, you have to click start.bat in order to start the game.\nOn Linux, you need to run the executable yourHome.\nIf you're running from source, use either python 2 or 3, the game has been tested on both.\n\nAlso there's no sound in this game, I know.\n\nThe development:\nI started making this game 24 hours before the deadline so it's more of a tech demo than anything. I can make games very quickly usually, but I had problems with compiling this time because of an obscure bug. \nNote to pygame developers: the documentation says you can use None in a font object and the game will just use a default font. This causes issues with pyInstaller and pyg and gives all sorts of weird undiagnosable bugs. Just bundle a font with your game and call it a day.\n\nOther notes: it turns out building a projectile motion engine is not easy. I got lost in negative signs and trig functions for a while. Probably my code is not a good reference if you want to build your own.\n\nAssets and Credits:\nI made the slingshot and the brick using openscad, and you can find my openscad files bundled into the game directory for your convenience. Openscad really clicks with me as a way to make 3d models without remembering a million keyboard shortcuts.\n\nThe background is an image by Scott Webb from pexels.com that I ran a lot of Gnu IMP filters on.
