So we’re about, what?\u00a0 Six and a half hours into this thing… seems like about time for an update.\u00a0 Python is going quite well!\u00a0 I’m having no trouble picking up the syntax… and only a tiny bit of trouble remembering how to get my tabbing right.\u00a0 Pygame, too, has been generally very intuitive.\u00a0 I lost more than half an hour getting sound to work though… apparently Bxfr’s .wav exports cannot be directly pulled into pygame’s mixer, so I’ve got to run them through Audacity first.\u00a0 It’s not a big deal at all… I just had to figure it out!<\/p>\n

So right now, I’ve got a title screen and a sound effect… and a game idea!\u00a0 Maybe that doesn’t seem like much, but I really feel like I’m moving along.\u00a0 Let me stick a screenshot up of my title screen… it’s not impressive in any way:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And how does this game work?\u00a0 What is my amazing idea?\u00a0 Well… I’ll keep the details secret until I can show them visually, let’s just start by saying it’s a horizontal shooter (think R-Type), with an… interesting power-up system?\u00a0 Yeah, that’ll have to do for now.\u00a0 If you’re interested, keep tuned to my later updates!\u00a0 HA!<\/p>\n \n
