Cool idea, but the collision detection didn't work, the wall of doom would just go through the character.

Could you provide an Windows executable?
Tried running on windows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wallofdoom.py", line 284, in <module>
if __name__ == "__main__": main()
File "wallofdoom.py", line 49, in main
wallimages.append(pygame.transform.smoothscale(
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'smoothscale'
Might be really simple, I actually enjoyed it much! I liked the litteral interpretation of the theme. A few suggestions:
- the mouse control is a lot easier, but I liked the smooth keyboard control. Maybe removing the mouse?
- difficulty increases too fast. the font could grow more slowly (but you could have bonus points if you go between words instead of around, or instance, for the risk taken)
- it would be nice if the words came from every direction not just top, so both x and y movements would be needed (here it is enough go left and right)
- and of course a bit of polish, music, etc.
Otherwise very nice idea!
Alas, hangs on the title screen for me (Vista, Python 2.6)
It hung on the title screen and after losing, but I fixed those by commenting out lines 75 and 202.
It was okay, unlike nilsf collision was working for me. Using the mouse kind of felt like cheating.. (I scored 57.) Also, would have been more challenging if the player would grow with the text so it gets harder to fit between the letters later on. The speed factor just isn't enough for quite a while.
Well, they're certainly walls of doom. Can't argue with that.
Anyway, it's a nice simple game. Can't think of much to say about it right now.. Very minimalistic, but fun for a few tries.
Game locked for me as well at title and end screens, until I commented out the lines in question.
Game was too simple for me to enjoy more than a few times through, but I did enjoy the time I played it. It could be cool if you got bonuses for getting really close to the words.
I had to use the Jach hack to fix the freezes...
Nice game idea, but because I only scores 18 I'm pretty sure it's not properly setup to be framerate independent.. I mean, I'm not that bad, right?!!
No windows executable.
I'd need a Windows executable...
