drops dead for me after the title screen. I think an error message flashes by, I don't know for sure. Looking forward to a py2exe!

psysal

Couldn't get it to run! I can run other pygame/python games, I get a syntax error line 27 at "if fullscreen". Hmm...

This was a surprisingly tough game. Reminded me of playing Parsec on my old TI99 going through the refueling tunnels. I never made it past the first level (of course I tried to go insanely fast too ;-).

Ran it with DrPeters fix. Goes nice and fast. :D But needs some polish.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\LD13\Road Racer\LD13\main.py", line 3, in <module>
import pygame as sdl
ImportError: No module named pygame

Looks like I've not got pygame installed. How about a version with it included (or better yet, an all-inclusive exe version?).

Started without problems on this setup
+ Python 2.6.1
+ Pygame 1.8.1 for Python 2.6
+ Windows XP

Difficult -- you can't go very fast or you'll die. Not particularly innovative, but it works. Would have preferred if there were pick-ups or obstacles or something like that.

sol_hsa

No windows exe..

Crashes with this:

File "psnake\LD13\car.py", line 20, in collide
pxls = sdl.PixelArray(
collision_map.subsurface(self.rect) )
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PixelArray'

I'm assuming it needs a different pygame version. The game seems like it could be fun, so I might update pygame and give it a try later. Will edit this comment if I do. Consider releasing a post-compo windows executable next time.

on my ubuntu, your game didn't want to run and yield an error in the loading of images. to make it run correcly, i have replaced the "\\" in the paths to the images by a "/", on lines 43 and 46 of main.py and on line 15 of background.py.
now for the game, i liked the collisions a lot, but sometimes the way is simply impossible to pass through without losing life. for the gameplay, acceleration and deceleration is fine but the horizontal movement of the car is not realistic. overall, the game is good but maybe light in terms of work and features

beat it! i love how the car doesn't turn but just strafes left and right! ;) well-- took me awhile to get a hang of driving through the small, then large intestine, then into the stomach, the esophagus and out the throat into space! All 5 levels of the body beat! Anyway-- seems fun and I like seeing how fast I can go before my car asplode.
