2d pygame game strategy multiplayer online small medieval telepathy theme tube

Description

An adaptation of "Halebarde et Gonfanon" in pygame. It's a small strategy game that could be a board game.

For now you have to play on the same computer but we plan in a not so long term to add an online support.
Having an AI would be a great but I am not experimented in that sort of things, but if you do and want to code one for the game contact me.

This game still lack some proper documentation but you can read the originals rule here http://anamnese.online.fr/divers/halebarde_gonfanon-eng.html (they are also avaible in french).

We use some graphismes of Wesnoth: http://www.wesnoth.org/

PyHalebarde support custom theme, we haven't write documentation about that but you can look in the theme directory to have an idea on howto made your one, it's not realy complicated.

------------------------------------------------------
Last version: https://launchpad.net/pyhalebarde/0.2
PPA are available here for debian-ubuntu pkg: https://launchpad.net/~pyhalebarde/+archive/ppa
To download the upstream version "bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pyhalebarde/pyhalebarde/trunk" in a shell.

You will need pygame and python-gobject and python-json (for theme support) to run the game.

I recommend Ian's Mastermind-libary, too. It's just great and pretty easy to use

For online, I suggest my networking library, Mastermind, which supports TCP and UDP protocols (you probably want TCP) and includes examples and documentation. It's not thread based and very fast.

Skizzaltix Zaxali: we already credit wesnoth in our README but I well add a credit here to. Anon: thanx for your suggestion but we've planed to use the d-tube include in telepathy for our online (http://cass.no-ip.com/~cassidy/blog/index.php/post/2007/10/21/GTetrinet-through-tubes)

Neat looking game! Just a thought--Might be a good idea to credit the <a href="http://wesnoth.org/">Wesnoth</a> folks for the sprites. You don't <i>have</i> to, but courtesy counts, right? ;)

to do online, look at the source for battleship. 0.1a has the networking fully finished. I will probably post an example on how to do simple networking threading sometime soon.
