You might want to hit space from time to time too.\r\n\r\nTHERE IS NOW A WINDOWS BUILD!\r\n\r\nTo make it work, you'll need to install pygame and then run main.py. On debian type Linuxes that's:\r\n\r\nsudo apt-get install python-pygame \r\nwget https:\/\/github.com\/hnjslater\/scrionevoloooom\/archive\/master.zip\r\nunzip master.zip\r\ncd master\r\npython main.py\r\n\r\nI'll try and get it packaged up for windows tomorrow. I developed it on a mac so it definately works on a mac but I've never got a pygame packaged properly there.\r\n\r\nMy main regret is doing a full day of real work on Saturday. Also not making a better game.","title":"scrionevoloooom"}
