[edit] Objective
This is a simple game intended to be used as a tutorial on building a client-server RPG-style game with Pygame, and will be more generally usable as a programming, game development, and Activity development tutorial as we work on it further. The target audience is new developers 12 and up.
[edit] Code
Roberto has licensed all his code under the LGPL. We're in the process of getting Project hosting but for now the code can be downloaded here.
[edit] How to run it
It's a very simple game - you'll mostly be able to walk around the forest. To do this:
- download the code
- unzip the package
- run server.py (it will continue running - don't stop it!)
- while the server code is running, run client_working.py
- use the arrow keys to move
From the terminal of a Linux machine...

[edit] Resources
All images are under a free license, just can't find the license of scenes (copylefted): http://www.lostgarden.com/2006/07/more-free-game-graphics.html
creatures are from there: http://www.lorestrome.com/pixel_archive/main.htm (this license allows free use just for non-commercial only, so we should make new creature images)
