Teach those crazy robots how to move!
Can you do it?

With less than 24hr in total (not including sleep), it has been another great py-2-days!
(more levels will be coming after the judging)

Please read the readme file first.

Release notes:
  • Linux user might need to add code for glut initialization. see the wiki.
  • Ommited from the readme file, PIL needs to be installed, too.
  • In the tutorial level, restarting does not initialize the victory conditions
    (the first cube doesn't come back).
    Do try to imagine it does come back every time.
    This bug won't affect mission1, as there is only one condition there.
  • If mission 1 (jumping) is too hard for you, try increasing the robot's motors' power (robospider.xml->joints->FMax) to 150
  • Thanks for all those who debugged my code and reported the above!

    My team didn't finish a game last pyweek so I'm trying it solo this time. At least when I fail I'll have no one but myself to blame!

    My lofty goals:
    1) Don't suck
    2) Don't fail
    3) Drink more ale

    WISH ME LUCK. D':

    C.A.T.:B.O.T. - Cat Academy of Technology: Beyond ODS' Techdog [by Team zahmeKatzen] (zK-3)
    catbot-WIN.zip — Windows Version (made in WinXP) (3.99 Mbytes on 2008/05/21)
    zk3-catbot.zip — Final submission!! :) (1.85 Mbytes on 2008/04/05)
    The ODS (Omega Dog Society) was able to develop Techdog, a robot designed to serve humankind and bring the "human heart" nearer to dogs than to cats. This of course is a great threat for catkind as we know it! The CAT (Cat Academy of Technology) thus developed their own robot, called C.A.T.B.O.T..

    The developement of this robot is now complete and the first prototype is ready for initial tests. You were chosen as programmer to help C.A.T.B.O.T. developing it's own basic decision algorithm by monitoring how you are solving different tests.

    Will you succeed in creating a C.A.T.B.O.T. with capabilities beyond ODS' Techdogs'?

Program them using the commands, although their memory banks can only hold so many commands. Go through the tutorial for information on how to play, and if you have any better idea of exactly what is happening in this game, go ahead and substitute your own reality.

    Once again, the robots turn against humans to rule the Earth. This time there is no Neo, no Spooner, the humans have no chance. This fight is not about survival, It is just about money because Viky will give you a buck for each human you kill, and you are too greedy and alcoholic to let them live... but be careful, do not shoot robots, Viki does not like it. Neither aliens, they are stronger than you think...

    Robot Toast is a jumping puzzle game, and a rather challenging one at that! You play as a ninja robot, and your goal is to reach the command station at the end of each level.

    Ninjabot is fast an agile; he can run, jump, grab ledges, jump off walls, and in later levels he can even grapple and use rocketboots!

    Beating the game is no small feat, but definitely possible with the right reflexes. Can you make it to the end?

    Known Issues:
    sound not found (Wilhelm.ogg) - Linux only (I think) - fix: in lib/sprites.py line 473: Change Wilhelm.ogg to wilhelm.ogg
    no joystick found - very rare - fix: comment out lines 150-160 in lib/main.py

    The game will have a home page at Hectigo.net

    Ok, I did not manage to finish this game. The final upload is just a proof of concept. I wanted to include more features, and some features are not completely ready. There are tons of bugs as well. The most annoying one is that the enemies don't come back when you restart. It just looks like so.
