Sweeper

by daesora
Sweeper is a game where you must move your dots into a safe place so they are not hit by the randomly generated sweeper.

The triangles above (inaccurately) represent where some of the holes may be. So use them to your advantage.

For every dot that survives, you gain another dot the next round. Colors are random every round, and you may end up with very similar colors so watch out. Also I'm sorry to anyone color blind, you may have some troubles.

The majority of images are generated within the code, only the menu images and end game card is a file. Those were made in Paint.net.

The game is written in python with pygame, and packaged as an exe using py2exe.

I only know about compatibility on Windows. I assume it wont work on OS/X or Linux, but if it does, let me know.

If you find any bugs i'd appreciate the feedback.

Sorry, forgot to add that you run the "main.exe" file within the zip folder.

I wrote mine in python/pygame too, but I couldn't figure out how to package it into an exe. How did you do that?

Thanks jpmit.

Eggplant I used 'py2exe' and it was a total pain to do. I spent at least 5 hours trying to get it to work. I couldn't get fonts to work with it either so i had to remove some of the code.

You have to fiddle around in command prompt a bit.

Thanks. I tried Py2exe but it was such a humungous pain in the neck that I just gave up. Next time I want to use Java or C# or something. XD
