It's quite hard to run.

jthistle 2014-08-25 09:37

ViliX, sorry, it's the only game language I know :P

Why not create a directly playable version for online play? Couldn't get it to run.

jthistle 2014-08-25 10:40

yodamaster, I'll see what I can do...

Also, why can't you get it to run? (Please specify operating system)

peping 2014-08-25 10:49

You could've just used py2exe for the windows folks...

Old school classic fun.

jthistle 2014-08-25 10:52

Peping - Thanks!

Build missing...

jthistle 2014-08-25 11:18

Majko - umm...

Old stylished graphics, simple and nice. Good job

Sorry, no Windows executable.

endurion 2014-08-26 09:07

Having it py2exe'd would help a lot of people ;)

jthistle 2014-08-26 10:27

Endurion - I'll see what I can do :)

mrsylar59 2014-08-27 09:36

Can be more accessible to run...

I tried running it on Linux, and I got an error at game.py line 264 invalid foreground rgba argument.

I installed both python and pygame using the links you provided. I even restarted my pc thinking it may help but it did not. I see the DOSbox for a sec and then it vanishes and doesn't start a game. Could it be cause I am running a 64bit Windows 7 and pygame is 32 bit? Anyway.. lot's of effort put in but no result. Kind of a bummer..

jthistle 2014-08-27 16:57

DvanderAart - sorry, I'll get the game Py2exe'd as soon as possible

jthistle 2014-08-27 16:58

eemmbbeerr - I'll look into it

I got it to run on linux by renaming smallFlat.png to smallflat.png, but I couldn't get the keyboard input to work.

xxmicloxx 2014-08-29 07:28

You should fix your filenames in game.py. They have to match the case of the actual files to work on linux.

jthistle 2014-08-29 17:18

xxmicloxx, OK, I'll do that. Thanks for telling me.

kingbolonzo 2014-08-31 20:24

nice Retro feel i like the mood it created

+1 for trying to do it in python. Welcome to python gamedev masochists club.

jthistle 2014-09-02 15:18

I had to look up that word :P
