Fun Prod Inno Disq N/W Comments
1 1 1 yes Couldnt get this one to start (on windows..).
3 3 3 yes I tried install under windows, with python2.4 as u suggested. Got this error, when I try to fill the database: te File "build\bdist.win32\egg\sqlalchemy\databases\sqlite.py", line 208, in dbap i ImportError: No module named pysqlite2
1 1 1 yes I spent more time trying to setup your game than the time I spent evaluating most other games. Sorry. This is as far as I got: While: Installing scripts. Error: There is a version conflict. We already have: PasteScript 1.1 but Pylons 0.9.6 requires 'PasteScript>=1.3.6'.
1 1 1 yes The exe didn't work and I'm pretty certain windows won't run .ini files...
1 1 1 yes How the hell do you make it run? Theres a reason we all use the skellington, it's not fun to figure out what "bootstrap.py" should do :S
2 3 2 Yikes, why do this via a web server?
2 5 3 The game was nice looking and fresh. Good technical work deploying a web server. I'm not really a big fan "automatic download and install" setups, but you guys took pains to minimize its instrusiveness, and it did seem genuinely useful for this game, so points there. I didn't find the puzzle too interesting, but maybe it would appeal more to the sudoku types. My big complaint was that you couldn't drag the knobs to spin them; it would have benefited usability a lot.
1 1 1 yes Didn't work to me... I think it was trying to download something, but don't have internet in that machine. Anyway, I think that if it needed it connection, it'd have said something in the README.
1 2 2 Not sure this makes a lot of sense as a web app - a pygame app would have been easier to install. Maybe smaller levels to start out with - 4x4 was pretty daunting.
1 1 1 yes yes Does not follow skellington. Can't seem to install. Readme doesn't list dependencies.
IOError:
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ypath.py'
3 3 3 It's ok but not my kind of game.
1 3 2 Looks flashy, but doesn't do much for me.

Would be better as a normal program than a web server.
1 1 1 yes I thought things were going so well. I gave up at this point: ./bin/paster setup-app src/Twistit/development.ini Running setup_config() from twistit.websetup Traceback (most recent call last): File "./bin/paster", line 25, in ? paste.script.command.run() File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/command.py", line 78, in run invoke(command, command_name, options, args[1:]) File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/command.py", line 117, in invoke exit_code = runner.run(args) File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/appinstall.py", line 68, in run return super(AbstractInstallCommand, self).run(new_args) File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/command.py", line 212, in run result = self.command() File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/appinstall.py", line 455, in command installer.setup_config( File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/eggs/PasteScript-1.3.6-py2.4.egg/paste/script/appinstall.py", line 592, in setup_config mod.setup_config(command, filename, section, vars) File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/src/Twistit/twistit/websetup.py", line 10, in setup_config load_environment(conf.global_conf, conf.local_conf) File "/home/aeddy/dev/pyweek5/games/Twistit/src/Twistit/twistit/config/environment.py", line 33, in load_environment config['pylons.g'].sa_engine = engine_from_config(config, 'sqlalchemy.default.')

1 1 1 yes No way, i'm not going to install a web application. It can be disqualified too, by breaking the skellington rules.
