Pyweek 6 - Chain of Command /python

RB[0], a fellow dev from GMR convinced me to submit an entry for Pyweek this year. I am truly glad that I did. I learned a lot and had a nice heaping of fun. Also, I believe I came up with a pretty fun game. I, at least, have had a good time challenging myself with new levels.

I set up a Google Code page to continue work on it. There are some things I would like to rework, and I am also working a level pack. If anyone enjoys the game well enough to make levels, feel free to send them my way, and I will consider them for inclusion in the next release.

I used Pyglet for my entry which made most things pretty easy to do. It certainly gave me the time to achieve the level of polish that I was able to. I did have to change to pygame.mixer for sound at the last minute. I really hope Pyglet comes along in that area. Other than that, it is a great media library!

Special note: Check out Celldoku which was coded by ldlework and jazzed up by fydo. It is is a grid puzzle game where you must set up a Game of Life 2D cellular automata so that on its next iteration it will be in the target configuration. This resonates deeply with some ponderings I had about 4 months ago and is great fun to play. Check it out!
