Well only some minutes left so I better put my (again unfinished) game. It’s Road Racer clone so it won’t be praised by its originality You have 5 levels (which are small parts of the same track) if you finish all 5 you win, if not try until you can. It’s fun to play for small periods of time trying to beat a better time. So I launch the challenge, put in the comments sections (besides your critics and comments, of course) your times and final status of your car to see how good you’re. Here’s the screeenshot (already used in an early post) and the source.

Instructions: You need Python and Pygame installed (the latest stable releases) In Windows: double-click the file main.py In Linux: issue the command: python main.py
Keys: Arrows: Accelerate, Brake, Turn Left/Right Q: Quit R: Restart Esc: Pause PostMortem to be written tomorrow or so. Have fun, PSnake
on my ubuntu, your game didn't want to run and yield an error in the loading of images. to make it run correcly, i have replaced the "\\" in the paths to the images by a "/", on lines 43 and 46 of main.py and on line 15 of background.py. now for the game, i liked the collisions a lot, but sometimes the way is simply impossible to pass through without losing life. for the gameplay, acceleration and deceleration is fine but the horizontal movement of the car is not realistic. overall, the game is good but maybe light in terms of work and features

Looks like I've not got pygame installed. How about a version with it included (or better yet, an all-inclusive exe version?).
This was a surprisingly tough game. Reminded me of playing Parsec on my old TI99 going through the refueling tunnels. I never made it past the first level (of course I tried to go insanely fast too ;-).
Difficult -- you can't go very fast or you'll die. Not particularly innovative, but it works. Would have preferred if there were pick-ups or obstacles or something like that.

I'm assuming it needs a different pygame version. The game seems like it could be fun, so I might update pygame and give it a try later. Will edit this comment if I do. Consider releasing a post-compo windows executable next time.
beat it! i love how the car doesn't turn but just strafes left and right! ;) well-- took me awhile to get a hang of driving through the small, then large intestine, then into the stomach, the esophagus and out the throat into space! All 5 levels of the body beat! Anyway-- seems fun and I like seeing how fast I can go before my car asplode.
