uhhh... did you upload it?
Thanks. Firefox would let me log in, but I couldn't edit this page. I've been trying to fix this since it happened. Today I tried Chrome, and it worked. *shrug*
Not sure if that was intended - but if you choose to interact with door after you find key - game just closes, same with "gremlins" option.
Thank you for pointing that out! I was always running it in terminal, so I never considered what it would look like if it started up its own window and then suddenly exited. Problem solved!
I love the humor in this game. It's not very long, and doesn't give me much meaningful choice, but it brought a smile to my face.
Why don't you upload the source code? Your link labeled "source" is, bizarrely, some sort of Traceback.
If you right click and save link as on the source, you get the .py source file. I'm not sure why browsers freak out at it, but as I stated in the description browsers don't seem to like my python file. *shrug*
Actually, I see your point. Even if you download it, it's screwed. I'm looking into this. Probably will just make it a zip file and see if it fixes it.
Download link worked fine here
I couldn't figure out how to run the pyc file, so maybe you should have instructions for that. But the .py worked for me. It's a very simple text adventure game with some oddities I don't understand (why does it ask me if I want to continue after each turn?) but a few cute twists, too. :)
I had quite a laugh. I can't believe how short it is, you should definitely make it longer. Full points on humor, though.
@azurenimbus Thanks! :D
@Tom7
Yeah, I decided to have it ask you to continue mainly as a way to pause so people could have enough time to read the text. I'll come up with a better way of doing this when I update it and make it longer.
I can't play it because I don't have python installed.
@Oye Beto - No problem! You can download it here: http://python.org/download/ for various OS.
Then, simply open a cmd prompt or terminal (depending on OS) and type "python 'directory/to/gamefile/wtflemmeout.pyc'" replacing the directory/to/gamefile with the actual path. Should work like a charm!
First off, thanks for helping to remind me I need to install Python 2 on this laptop. ;P
It was incredibly short, but it put a smile on my fac.! You mentioned you were learning Python as you were making this and this is definitely a fantastic way to learn it. Keep it up and see you next LD!
This was a lot of fun!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :D
I very much look forward to the next LD, and I'll also be developing a game this summer using Pygame. Four player co-op space-age platformer, but that's about all I can say for now.
Hm.. I got an error trying to run it on my mac. The error literally was "RuntimeError: Bad magic number in .pyc file"
Definitely innovative. The only other game I've seen made for LD that was entirely based on dialogue choices was this one visual novel in LD20. Though, there weren't many choices and the story was very short, with only 2 possible endings to begin with. It was somewhat funny, though.
I for one was quite happy to see there was at least one text based adventure game. It fits in with the tiny theme. I'm glad you taught yourself some python too! GG.
Nerd cred for using python. First text-based game I've played this compo - a nice throwback to zork. I wish there was more than one room, but it was funny.
No bad. Needs more branches though. And I can't door :( At least I'm king.
I am both glad and disappointed that fewer people have trouble launching your game than mine.
I enjoyed this, just wish it were longer.
YAY text adventure!
Good sense of humor! I quite liked it. I'd like to see what you could do with a text adventure framework ready to go for next time!
Have you tried py2exe?
Extremely short. Congrats on trying a new language!
I love text adventures like this. Great job.
Thanks everyone for playing! I look forward to doing a longer game for the next LD! Also, things I learned:
1) Python is awesome!
2) Excess prompting is annoying.
3) Gremlins like hats.
4) LD community R0X!
@asfdfdfd - No, I haven't tried py2exe, but I want to play with it some because it sounds really helpful. I'll see if I can get this game to work with it as a test.
