The Hunt for Pepsi Blue–Final

Posted by Jach
Sunday, April 20th, 2008

Here’s the link:

Windows executable coming soon. Requires Python and Pygame at the moment.

Newedit: Here’s the link to the WINDOWS version. Had to change directory structure for it to work. Just run main.exe for it.

Edit: The ZIP will contain the windows executable by tomorrow with no changes to anything else. Also, here’s the screenie. If I come up with more theme arguments, I’ll put them here instead of the readme before tomorrow, but I probably won’t because that wouldn’t be minimal. =P

(Still part of edit) I didn’t really like the idea after about 4 hours into it, but I decided to continue. I’m not too displeased with the final result, though I wish I had another hour or so to make a nice game over and win screen.

So this is the whole journey of PepsiCo. for its touring of Pepsi Blue. Why does it go from New York to end in Utah? I don’t know, but it does. (That’s right, there are ten levels! I can almost beat the last one without the cheat.) Please pretend the yellowish mass looks like the continental USA. :)

Lunch after nap

Well, I was super groggy after the nap, but lunch has made me alive again. Though it was pretty minimal; ham sandwich and grapes with apple juice.

Breakfast

Well, my first breakfast was so good and I so hungry that I ate it before I realized I should have taken a picture. Here’s the remains:

empty

So in spirit of the competition, and because I’m still kind of hungry, I decided to have a second breakfast, hobbit-style! (Though if I were in LotR I’d be more of Gandalf-stature.)

cereal

Yes that’s Golden Crisp, and yes it’s delicious.

Stop those vehicles! Early screenshot.

Well, this guy failed. Obviously the grey dude is the main character, and a tank. Obviously the pink square is a regular car, the yellow thing is a bus, and the blueish thing is a van. And apparently none of them know how to park (but that will soon be remedied). All the graphics are being made in KolourPaint (which is pretty much just like MS Paint, but for Linux), using only the colors that are there when you start it up.

If you let what happened to this guy happen to you, you are failing at minimizing the competition for the blue goodness…

Pre-compo food and setup

Everyone ought to have a healthy breakfast, even if it’s at 3pm and it’s Taquitos…

taqitos

And of course around the two hour mark it’s time for dinner already.

spaghetti

And finally I have my setup just the way I want it.

I hope things go better this time around; though I’m not quite sure what I’ll use my second lappy for at the moment…Both are running Gentoo, so both are all ready for any developing. =P

Looking at these low-quality photos reminds me that I need to get a new camera…Or maybe recharge the batteries…

This “morning’s” breakfast

Lucky me, I had waffles! Of course this wasn’t really morning, as I woke up around 2pm… But it was a nice way to start off the last day at least.

Chain Pain: Final Submission

Posted by Jach
Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Here it is. All that’s in the zip is the source code and the data; if I get less lazy by the end of today I’ll compile it with PyInstaller and make a Windows executable. Requires Python and PyGame.

Edit: Fun facts that weren’t in the README: Graphics made with Gimp and KolourPaint, sound effects made with my voice with my microphone, the two music files were made in WarioWare Touched’s toyroom using its piano and harmonica. Pretty much all the sounds had to be amplified with Audacity, too. Edit: Another fun fact is that the moving bar thing was inspired from Star Fox Adventures. You remember the Test of Fear? Though I have to say that game’s better than this one. =P

EditEdit: The Zip now contains a standalone EXE file so you can just double click on main.exe if you run Windows.

Edit³: If you want to see the high score system in action, change the best_time.txt file in data/ to something low, like 00:00 (I forgot to do that myself when I packaged it).

Chain Pain: In-game Screen

Posted by Jach
Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Here’s a screenshot of the in-game thing (taken by scrot, I was too lazy to do prt scr), featuring invisible Chains! (Except those holding the player down.) Once I implement the chains graphics I can work on prettifying it a bit more (sad to say what you see here is pretty much the limit of my art capabilities). You’ll understand what everything on the screen is when I release the full thing. =P

Chain Pain: Title Screen

I’ve had this section done for a good while (and everything finished but the Play), so I figured I’d share it with you all. I particularly like the Creepy font.
