On DevX's demo, I get this when running game through the start menu programs list:
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "game.py", line 576, in <module>
File "F:\_novrpg_for_windows\IceQuest\devxcode\devxcodecommon.py", line 22, in devxcodemain
File "game.py", line 348, in __init__
File "F:\_novrpg_for_windows\IceQuest\devxcode\devxcodeclass_def.py", line 8, in __init__
File "F:\_novrpg_for_windows\IceQuest\devxcode\devxcodeclass_def.py", line 19, in InitializeGame
File "F:\_novrpg_for_windows\IceQuest\devxcode\devxcodefontengine.py", line 22, in LoadFont
pygame.error: Couldn't open font.bmp |
It works if I go to the directory and just double click the exe.

RedSlash: I think thats due to the working directory of the start-menu shortcut.
right-click the shortcut in the startmenu, go to properties, and set the working directory to the path that you installed to.
That should fix that.
I haven't figured out how to make that automatically set in my Inno Setup script yet.

As promised, here's my screenshot:
Eh, needs a bit of work. Actually, feck that - a LOT of work :) I'm quite glad to have the extension.

I think its easier to handle that from within the game. What some games do is to write the install path as a registry entry (which is done by the setup) and then retrieve the pathname from the registry in the game to resolve filename paths.
Another way is to determine the pathname to the exe in the game and change directory to the path of the exe. I think this way is easiest but is less portable.
Terry: looks great! can't wait for the release.

I found what I needed to set in Inno Setup; should not be a problem now.
But I had a friend playtest..and there are some bad bugs in the game..so I'm currently debugging/rewriting large sections of code; I'll rlease another demo when I get things sorted out.
#1 issue was manually typing the level files...I'm making an editor right now, cause typing in 90+ rooms in a text editor is a bitch.

I've fixed a few small bugs and technical issues, so the game should now behave a little nicer :-)
http://www.colossusentertainment.com/forumref/kassandra_1_2.zip
And here's a couple of screenshots
I didn't have time to put in some of the things I wanted. I had plans to include a Troll as well, but it didn't complete the rendering in time... I might add it over the next couple of days, seeing as there is the extension :-)
All in all, I think I was a bit too ambitious, especially with the graphics, which took me a lot of time to create...
But anyway, it was a really nice weekend :D

It looks nice Mattias :P. I like the dialogue between Kassandra and that Conan clone. Thought, I have some slight problem's making Kassandra go where I click at some times.

yeah, the pathfinding could be a bit better, but I didn't have time to weak the heuristics and the walk cells...
btw, if you specify -pathdebug as a command line parameter for the exe, you can see the a-star searching for the path :-)

Okay. I admit defeat.
Everything that I tried to add to the 'game' ended up not working out...after rewriting the engine over 3 times, I've finally just gone and said to hell with it.
I'm releasing the sources if someone wants to play with it.
Its not GPLd; and not Public Domain, and not closed-source..consider it an educational contribution..hehe.
Read the READMEFIRST.TXT file that is in the .zip file.
Download Ice Quest Source (uses Python and Pygame) .zip ~2MB

Terry, you may want to add a post to the frontpage that says the competition was extended.

Time for another screenshot!
Didn't have a lot of spare time today, so I haven't added all that much :(

My latest bug report for Mattias: Game crashes for me after I click start in v1.1. Fortunately, this doesn't happen with v1.0. Other than that, the game was very nice, but too bad you didn't get to add a battle system in yet.
