PyWeek Challenge #2: write a game in a week

The date for the second PyWeek challenge has been set: Sunday 26th March
to Sunday 2nd April (00:00UTC to 00:00UTC).

The PyWeek challenge invites entrants to write a game in one week from
scratch either as an individual or in a team. Entries must be developed
in Python, during the challenge, and must incorporate some theme chosen
at the start of the challenge.
REGISTRATION IS NOT YET OPEN --

In order to reduce the number of unnecessary registrations, we will open
the challenge for registration one month before the start date. See the
competition timetable and rules at:

http://www.pyweek.org/
PLANNING FOR THE CHALLENGE --

Make sure you have working versions of the libraries you're going to
use.
The rules page has a list of libraries and other resources.

Make sure you can build packages to submit as your final submission (if
you're going to use py2exe, make sure you know how to use it and that it
works).

If you don't have access to Linux, Windows or a Mac to test on, contact
friends, family or other competitors to find someone who is able to test
for you.

If anyone wants a little dose of what Python can do in a week, PyWeek is done. All these games were written in one week; there's some real impressive ones. No homemade C extensions, either. http://www.pyweek.org/2/ My entry (Army of Aerojockey) didn't do so well, unfortunately. Well, I was aiming pretty high for an individual entry. I %@#ing hate collision detection.

Hello. The last weeks I've been coding a roguelike (you know, like nethack) in python using the nCurses library. Some week ago I ran into a problem: When I made the object for messagebar-output, I found a bug that I can't figure out (believe me; I've tried everything and asked for help several times on the IRC-channel). The updateMsg() and iMsg() takes a list of message-lines as argument (or process a string to a list), and it'll output...

I had an idea but no time to think it through. Perhaps the under-under name mangling trick can be replaced (in Py3.0) with a suitably designed decorator. Your challenge is to write the decorator. Any trick in the book (metaclasses, descriptors, etc) is fair game. Raymond -------- how we currently localize method access with name mangling

00:00 UTC 2007-09-02 to 00:00 UTC 2007-09-09 exactly. See www.pyweek.org PyconUK is happening. http://www.pyconuk.org/ 8th and 9th September. This means that those of us who generally do not see each other but are going to PyconUK could put together an entry and then sprint together on it before PyCon UK. There would be this terrible torment -- do I attend the con or get my game to work -- but it is still the best chance some of us...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
