stuntcat 0.0.1.dev1

Stuntcat is the first pygame 2 community game.

🐱‍🏍 — the first pygame 2 community game. Starting now! Are you in?

"My first cat was named Speedy. Because when he went into one of those crazy dashes across the house, he'd run all along the backrest of the couch, like one of those motorcycle stuntperson. On a near-vertical surface."

• repo: https://github.com/pygame/stuntcat
• discord web chat #communitygame channel.

To help drive pygame 2 development, we are making a game with pygame 2.

The whole pygame community is invited to take part. In making this one game. In 4 days.

Get started.

The team.

• bitcraft - "I hope I can contribute, but my work schedule is awful". pyscroll, pytmx libraries.

• blubberquark - "Anyway, I would love to work on some kind of async networking or server features Twitch/IRC integration, leaderboards, Discord...""

• Bottersnake - snäke library. "In fact, I have a a load of frees today so I'll probably whip up all the boilerplate needed to make everything else quicker to write."

• claudeb - "My first cat was named Speedy. Because when he went into one of those crazy dashes across the house"

• illume - fixes to pygame 2, any general thing that needs doing.

• Kuba | ThePolish - "pm me if you need sfx and/or music"

• TJWhale - "Hey, I'm interested in helping with this community game if I can :) I've got some experience with pygame, I actually lanched a game on steam with it"

• *** - writing

• hfoxp - "Im interested in helping. Im still learning pygame but I would still love to be involved. Will be fun and a good learning experience"

• xeno - I tried drawing a cat, it looks weird.

Awesome libraries

Apart from pygame 2 we are going to try using some awesome libraries.

• pyscroll - scrolling map
• pytmx - tilemap
• thorpy - gui
• pymunk - physics
• snäke (ask Bottersnike for info) - cleaner api
• pyinstaller
• pytest - our game will have some tests.
• ... other?

pygame 2 compilation

The game should also work with pygame 1.9.4+, but this game is about using pygame 2.

So...

For now compiling pygame 2 from source is needed (hopefully not by the end of things).

• Ubuntu
• Mac
• Windows (incomplete instructions)

Running tests.

Tests can be found in the tests/ folder.

Type pytest. Or run python -m tox

Tests are run on mac, linux, windows when there is a pull request made.
