Description

You know when you have an oppressive deadline and you code like crazy for days, hardly eating and sleeping? I know how you feel. So there you go, your daily hell is now a Python game! Created for the Game Design class at the IT University of Copenhagen. This is my first time with PyGame and I had less than a month to develop the game, so the source code is really ugly. And yes, the graphics sucks as well! Enjoy!

Changes

25/04 update! Small bump. Some changes here: - changed the background music - added some random non-negative events when you type in a non-matching string - De-uglified some code (thanks masterlee) - Added some non-diegetic feedback sounds when coding - Try to code when you are drunk now... - Changed background music - 120% more love in the random strings :3

Define randomCommands this way: randomCommands = [ "import", "print", "...", ] instead of randomCommands = { 0:"import", 1:"print", 2:"...", } Then you shouldn't need to recount by yourself if you change the list. Instead of self.randomCommands[random.randint(0,len(self.randomCommands)-1)] you could also write: random.choice(self.randomCommands) it is much shorter and does the same thing.

Thanks for your comments! Yeah, the code writing is a pain indeed. I thought about writing entire random strings instead of pressing random buttons (meh), but I hadn't time to implement it. If you find the game too difficult/unbalanced, edit the script and raise the global variable CODE_PER_SYMBOL, or lower the STRESS_PER_SYMBOL... or both. The playtesting phase has been really really short (almost nonexistent!)

It's a neat idea, the code writing (in game) is a pain, I barley got to an idea.
