Description

The objective of PyTanks is to destroy each others tanks. You can do this by shooting a cannon shot toward the tank you want to destroy.

I got the idea from the other Tanks games out there and decided to make my own version of it.

Many more updates to come!

Changes

Updates:

New weapons and a weapon select area.
Tank is now rotated along the ground.
Main Menu music.
Fixed explosion detection.
Two new backgrounds.
Turn Arrow bug fixed.
Missile now spawns about 19 pixels away from the tank, not on it.

your file is missing the three "white_arrowX.png" files to run it, otherwise it run well on WinXP SP2.

Tested on a 32-bit Windows XP SP2, and got the message that some text had zero width, and games.Text had no attribute '_gone'. And PLEASE try and make it withought livewires.

Thanks for all the tips. Sorry, i forgot to put the fire button in controls.txt<br><br> The game is also currently under heavy test/construction.<br><br> I was going to put something in that empty place under the players i just didnt know what to. I will probaby put what you thought there. <br><br> Sorry about the window being so big. Ill change it on the next update.<br><br> I was going to have a wind indicator. I was going to have an arrow pointing to the left of the wind text. Thanks anyway. I will maybe have the scarf on the santa/person/thing on top of the pyramid flapping the direction of the wind.<br><br> im currently trying to slow the shot down without makeing the FPS lower.<br><br>That was a really good idea about the "HIT! and "MISS!" ill add that to the next update. <br><br>Also, i was going to have different weapons doing different amounts of damage, bigger and smaller explosions to.

Very nice implementation of a classic. For those that couldn't figure it out, ALT is fire (took me a while and it's not in controls.txt) Some suggestions: - since you have some space below a player, during their turn an arrow pointing up to their tank with their name beneath it would be a nice touch. - don't make the window quite so large... those of us on laptops have to hack it down to fit. :) - perhaps have a wind indicator, like the hat on the little guy on the pyramid for example, or maybe his scarf... flapping left or right. For the space level, maybe a hovering space invader with a scarf around his neck too?? - slow the shot down a little bit so you can enjoy the suspense of the shell flight ("Oh no, it's gonna hit... oh oho... oh it JUST MISSED HAHAHA!") That sort of thing. - sometimes it wasn't clear if you hit or not, and you had to remember what the previous health was and try and think "did I hurt you more??" Perhaps a "HIT!" or a "MISS!" text for just a few moments between turns. - Also... perhaps since you have 100 health, make the damage dependent on how directly you hit the player: direct hit is 25 pts, grazing hit is less and less and less.
