"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." --Antoine de Saint-Exupery
This is a simple point-and-click game (*not a pixel hunt!*), where you will find out how classic artists achieved perfection.
How to play:
Select the objects on screen that are superfluous to the art piece. Remove everything unnecessary from that art piece.
Click "Done" when you think you are ready, or "Reset" if you think you have made a mistake.
Hint: If you get stuck, remember Saint-Exupery and what he said. Also, the "Reset" button is there for a reason! :)
To run in Windows, unzip and execute "PerfectionAchieved.exe".
To run in Linux, install dependencies with
$ sudo apt-get install python python-pygame
and then run "main.py" with python.
Dependencies:
Python 2.7+
Pygame 1.9.1+ / 1.8 (after patch)
Thank you all for playing! First time that I actually finished a Ludum Dare.
If you have any issues let me know! I'll be monitoring this daily.
Notes on the assets used:
All of the external assets used are in the public domain in the US, and so are photographs that are "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional works of art that are in the public domain" (Wikimedia). Images used from Botticelli, Magritte and Munch, and poems from Poe.
As I didn't take into full account the use of external assets, please consider this a Jam entry.
*UPDATE 2013-04-30 01:42 GMT-3*
Fixed Linux port, thanks to munshkr! (some files were not loading because of case-sensitive-ness, I only changed the Linux version filenames)
*UPDATE 2013-05-01 01:04 GMT-3*
Added OS/X port courtesy of Arcana. Thanks a lot!
Also added a lower res version, that runs in a 1024x768 window. No further changes.
*UPDATE 2013-05-12 22:56 GMT-3*
Added a pygame 1.8 compatibility version courtesy of ohsqueezy. Thank you!
