I’m calling it a day as I need to get up for work in less than 6 hours, so here’s my entry for LD14. Given my lack of available time this weekend I am surprised to get as far as I have. Laser of Doom is in a playable state, even if it’s not exactly cutting edge. For me this is a personal triumph – it’s the first time for about 8 months that I’ve had success in one of my own projects. Those I’ve been doing for work have been rock-solid, well-written pieces of code, but I’ve just not had the required focus on personal projects.
*Edit: and yes, I did run out of time for making levels. The original plan was to gradually make it harder by including random obstacles, plus locked doors with keys, and a score that would be greatly enhanced by picking up bonus items.*
Now I’ll get back to that game that I promised my daughter. Thanks LD14.
I have python 2.5.4 as that is the one that pygame requried unless you py2exe this I won't be able to run it. I thought I would try to do all the python projects but I am finding that limiting by python version issue
You basically just hold the right arrow right or am I missing something? Heh.
I know.. you likely ran out of time. Anyway.. as I was sitting there for my half-minute I did enjoy watching the laser beam zap the tiny blocks away. Plus, just once I had to run into the beam to see what would happen. I'm glad you took that moment to question my stamina. :)
I just got the first room endlessly repeating too. Is there supposed to be more? As it is it's not fun at all since you're just holding down the right arrow key for as long as you bother to, but with some levels and obstacles and stuff this could've been a nice game probably. Too bad you didn't have time for more!
I can see this being amusing with some more varied levels, but like Endurion, I just get the same room over and over, which means that holding right until you eventually die is the optimal strategy... (I made 28.04 seconds.) I guess you ran out of time for making levels?

(nice to hear that you got something good out of it though)

If you had had time to add (random?) paths/mazes to run through I think this would have been pretty interesting.
28.18 seconds on level 16 btw.
Is it just me or is there only the same screen over and over?
