Just like that.
Apparently, you can just write 168 lines to achieve a simple but playable game.
Interesting coincidence.
This week I was thinking about trying to start finding out what I need for making a game.
I was having some game ideas for something bsta-related.
But not the required informations to actually do it.
So I thought maybe it is a good time to learn something.
Even if what I'll manage to do will be not much more than "a single-frame guy moving around some empty place and not really knowing what to do" it would still be a success.
When I tried to run the game for the first time, what I did after unpacking was:
Before it crashed it made 3 screenshots in postscript format...
Because the game starts with:
Code: Select all
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
import sys
import random
and "import" is a screenshot program from imagemagick and "from" is a program which will "print names of those who have sent mail".

BlitzGirl is the author of the advent calendar.
I did not expect this.
But I didn't really try to find out who it could be.
Now, when knowing this,
yes it makes much sense that it was you.
Thank you for the pictures and words.
In
one post I wrote that one frome could have been artificially created.
Was this correct?
Also,
5 YEARS of Time!
So I'm here 5 years already (ok, a bit less since I joined later)?
That's a big piece of time.
That's as much time as I spent at university.
A lot changed for me since then.
I finished university, and found an FFS.
I bought my own place to live and made it into a nice place to live.
I cut my hair and it grew back.
I destroyed 3 laptops.
I learnt new things,
started running my own server and wrote programs to run on it that I wouldn't expect I could be able to make before.
made a story-shaped thing and started another one.
And after all this the ott is still here, and is still a place I go to every day to read words.
I never stayed so long in an online place before.
Edited to fix mistake. 168 lines, not 168 games...
