is this going to consider tools/utilities that allow u to create games/apps using pygame ?

Re: [pygame] Pyggy Awards are Go, Almost
Well im working on a utility/tool which allows u to make animations. But it is not restricted to just animation. As it progresses it will allow u to create applications also. And all this will be given to my app as a zip bundle. Its still under construction and I am experimenting with pygame. Previously I tried with SDL and lua but had some major issues on Windows, so I am now trying out pygame. The project link is http://code.google.com/p/openanimator/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/openanimator/ So will it be qualified for Pyggy ? -Abhinav On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 3:14 PM, Greg Ewing [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: Abhinav Lele wrote: is this going to consider tools/utilities that allow u to create games/apps using pygame ?

Re: [pygame] Pyggy Awards are Go, Almost
I think you're missing the point of the competition. It's specifically for games that were previously entered in PyWeek. Your tool could be used by a Pyggy game, but can't compete on its own. -FM On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 5:45 AM, Abhinav Lele [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well im working on a utility/tool which allows u to make animations.

You can use whatever tools you want as long as the end result is a Python-based application of some sort. However, keep in mind that the game you create is supposed to be a further development of a previous PyWeek entry, not something started from scratch. (Although further development could include re-implementing the whole thing if you want to go to that much work.) -- Greg Does it have to be your own Pyweek entry? or can you work with someone else's pyweek entry that has apparently been abandoned? --- James Paige
Re: [pygame] Pyggy Awards are Go, Almost
Does it have to be your own Pyweek entry? or can you work with someone else's pyweek entry that has apparently been abandoned? Each entry must be based on an entry from an earlier PyWeek competition. It can be any entry, not necessarily your own. However, if you work on someone else's entry, you should change the name to avoid confusion, and the original author(s) should be credited for his/her/their contribution.

It doesn't even have to be abandoned, although it would be a good idea to change the name in that case to avoid any confusion with developments by the original author. -- Greg
Re: [pygame] Pyggy Awards are Go, Almost
Greg, the rules on the site (http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/greg.ewing/python/pyggy/) seem to forbid games older than the previous PyWeek.
