PyWeek - Team Quicksilver:Readme!

There is one bug left in the game that I know about, if you are playing a level where the nourish spell costs less than any plants, and either you or the enemy cant buy anymore plants, and have none growing, the enemy will stop moving, and you will have to restart the level.

there is a 1-2 line fix for this:
    go to lib/modules and open "elements.py", go to lines 148 and 149, they should like this:
    l=[self.plot_cost, self.nourish_cost,
    self.locust_cost, self.lightning_bolt_cost]

    change that to l=[ ]
That should fix the problem :D

also if a level crashes, there is a file in lib/levels called "HOW TO MAKE A LEVEL.txt"
if you follow its instructions it should lead you to a fix for a level ;)

Well, it seems that people cant get the game to run from run_game.py :(

if you cannot get the game to run, please go into the lib folder and run main.py :)

apparently under linux you should...
cd lib then python main.py
to run the game....

I added the skellington at the end of the compo, and have different errors from it, that no-one else seems to have(running run_game.py wont find main.py :()
So you may need to just run main.py

I totally forgot that run_game would assume the top directory for the data folder,
richard, I acquiesce ;)

btw, another solution would probably be just copying all the files/folders from lib into the top-level, that way you dont have to cd to the lib directory.

If you do that(which I suggest you do...) delete "run_game.py", "run_game.pyw" and the "lib" folder, then it should run correctly... I hope :)

or maybe even just copy the data directory into the top-level, and leave everything else alone?

As you can probably tell, I havent used linux in a long time ;)
