Comments on: We were probably crazy http://scrimisms.com/2007/12/01/we-were-probably-crazy/ Presently suffering a dearth of witticisms Sun, 19 Feb 2012 19:50:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Ian http://scrimisms.com/2007/12/01/we-were-probably-crazy/comment-page-1/#comment-309 Ian Tue, 22 Jan 2008 13:05:44 +0000 http://scrimisms.com/2007/12/01/we-were-probably-crazy/#comment-309 Thanks for the feedback. That's a "known bug" that failed to get squashed in the rush to get the contest version finished in time. =) I haven't done anything more on the game in a while. If I don't get going on it soon I might upload its current "half finished" incarnation, but ideally I'd like to completely wrap it up first. Thanks for the feedback.

I upped the strength of both of my fighters once I realized I what the "advance" button did, and wasn't sure what to do with the 3 points my healer had so I sailed of the east edge of the world. I can't seem to do anything more than that. I have a party of three, my family is starving, I can land on other islands and walk around. I can sail 3 spaces above the top of the screen and I crash the game if I sail off of the south and east edges of the world. I get no cryptic message about hades... I even let my healer talk to the oracle instead of the main guy. I want to do more! I can give you the console reports that I get when I crash the game if that's helpful.

You've hit the 10% mark that we completed for the contest. The other 30% we've not "released" yet. I suppose if I did post it, it really would be an episodic game... =) Part of why I haven't really put it up is that I'm still tweaking and changing things, especially the combat.

Now I'm totally locked out of everything! Did I hit the 40%? Am I going to have to patiently wait? I want to know what's in the !ogre cave and the tower. Damn you, episodic gaming!

I ended up using NumPy and zeros(). I finally beat the barbarians, only to get eaten by a fearsome green cyclops. But I haven't given up!

Spam away. And is s = [] really so hard? =) After programming in python for a while, I'm totally spoiled for other languages. Pygame rules. Spam away.

I tried it, PyGame? I love it! Python is great for cranking off little game projects. Sucks figuring out how to make an array the first time, though. Sadly I haven't tried it enough to comment on it, but I'll spam your comments again at that point, since that's what I seem to do now. Never mind! I tried it, PyGame? I love it!
