Your game looks really good, but I couldn't figure out how to run it. I downloaded the source from github, but I'm not skilled with python. I was hoping you might tell me how to run it. Thanks.

Hey jeepracer98, I wasn't actually expecting anyone to play our game. We didn't have time to create a proper installer before the Jam ended, but we will probably add that to the Github tonight or tomorrow.

If you'd like to run it right now, I've updated the github download with installation instructions, and a file you can double click called "game.bat" (if you're on Windows, if you're on Mac/Linux, renaming it to "game.sh" and it should work still).

Thank you for checking us out, I'm downloading your game right now :)

Cool, thanks, I'll check it out right now :D

Well it looks like I was missing pygame, but I got that installed. However, when I ran it it gave me an error (included below). Thanks for helping me run this. :D

jeepracer98, I am also getting the same error, I don't know if it's python2 or python3... I have pygame for python2 installed, but not python3

as the instructions in README.md say, you'll need python 3 to run the source code (it's not valid python 2). however, the code can trivially be made to run in python 2. i put a patch at: http://jangler.info/drop/0001-Change-calls-to-super-to-be-valid-in-python2.patch

use `git am` to apply the patch.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks so much, jangler. I've applied and pushed your patch, so it should work with 2/3 now.

Nice, got it to run today, thanks jangler (it's not in the README.md though, it's some other .txt file)

Hey everyone, I've been swamped at work, but Pablo managed to put together an exe of the game, which should "just work" (fingers crossed). We've only tested it on our machines, but will test it on friends computers as well.

The Windows download link has been updated with the new link. And the github and readme have also been updated (sorry about that, uberscientist).

Innovative concept! The end result isn't too fun, but with polish it could be!

It's a nice game! The collision detection can be improved and you could add some kind of clients' orders list, with a time limit maybe. I really would like to see a post-compo version for this one.

Nice little cooking game. I liked that you could carry around multiple things at a time, and the graphics were pretty cute (as is the title!). As a general pointer, it doesn't make sense to have one-step recipes be worth the same thing as multi-step recipes; and I agree with the previous poster that some kind of simple timer or other sort of failure state would have really helped to add some urgency to the gameplay. Thank you for the game, and good luck next jam!

Its a little difficult to figure out what to do at first. But the graphics are nice! Those cooks need to get out of my way!

Fun game, the idea is clever and pretty original, it's relatively easy to get a hang of it, nice work!

I finally played this game. I forgot about it. I really like the concept of too many cooks in the kitchen. Really cool!
