Mat's blog

Last week I took part in pyweek, a week long programming contest where you have to write a game in python that fits a theme.

The theme this time was “the length of a piece of string” and my entry can be found here. (You’ll need to have python and pygame installed to run it)

I haven’t played through all the other entries yet, but so far my favourite is Kite Story (has a windows .exe as well as the python source) which involves wrapping things up in the string of your kite. It’s really well made, has lovely graphics and music and more importantly, it’s fun. I’m impressed.
