So looks like real life has once again managed to get itself in the way of compos! 
I won’t be able to finish my ludumdare game, I had some interesting concepts but there’s no way I can get them done in the limited time I have between all the stuff thats going on this weekend.
- Good luck everyone!
So I told myself I’d lay off the competitions a bit since Pyweek, Pyday, VGNG Tigs, and Ludumdare 10.5 warmup, but they just keep draaaaging me back in. Plus my wife is going to be gone most of friday & saturday, so I got free time! Scratch that, wife does not have dress rehearsal Friday night, AND I am going to her concert now, which I did not know. I’ll still be trying to get a game done and everything, but might not be the polish I like.
I literally just missed the Theme Vote #3, I was filling it out, changed pages, and refreshed, and it was all updated with the final votes before I finished! But all is good, we shall see what I can put together, and I shall vote on Theme Vote #4!
Heh, so I still haven’t really found a point to the game, so for now you are a 1970 cutlass trying to collect cows before you get to the finish. If you hit a cat, you lose a cow, because hitting cats is bad! You can also launch off of ramps, which can either be good or bad, depending.

Download Windows py2exe here -
Okay, added in being able to run into cows, the Cowabunga bonus if you hit 5 cows in a row, and the ability to launch off the ramps. Your wheels do not properly update with the car, but its just a matter of hacking in the code. I didn’t compile the py2exe because it becomes gigantic, I’ll use pymikes setup and make it smaller later… sleep now.

So still no real “gameplay” elements, but that should be coming in tonight.
I’m thinking to stick to the weird theme, somehow hitting cows with the 1970 cutlass either speeds you up, turns you into a cow car, gives you bonus points, or sprays milk or something?
The ramps will also launch your car into the air for a little bit of boosted speed, but the trade off is since you’re in the air you cannot get any powerups.
Quick screen of updates, look almost the same but I can also load custom levels now 
So here it is, what I’ve been working a bit on. Only spent about 2 1/2 hours of actual coding, art, and planning on this one. Will hopefully have collision-detected objects, jumps that launch you way into the air, and a timer & map at the bottom
Woot 1970 Cutlass Extreme!
