I just had a quick play of Typhoon 2001 and it is an excellent reproduction ... going to break out my gamepad and play it on the big screen this weekend. Cheers ! Hey, thanks for the tip!

It is a clone of the original right down to the soundtrack. I actually went out and bought a gamepad for my PC just to make the experience more like my Jaguar memories.

Still, it's cool to see that Python has been preinstalled occasionally ... sounds like Compaq could have been using it for something interesting in their bundled software ?

I think it was version 2.3. This may be irrelevant but I bought a compaq computer in about 2006-2007 (I think) and it actually came with python preinstalled. I think it was version 2.3.

]]> Comment on Interactive fiction in Python ? by perry http://omgwtfgames.com/2008/04/interactive-fiction-in-python/comment-page-1/#comment-36 perry Sun, 28 Sep 2008 03:10:43 +0000 http://gamedev.pansapiens.com/?p=15#comment-36 I took a quick look at the PAWS documentation ... it certainly does look well documented, and being written in Python means it shouldn't be too tough to integrate a PAWS interactive fiction game as a component of some other larger graphical Pygame creation. The downside is that it appears much more verbose when compared with Inform to do simple things ... but I get your point ... doing very tricky things in Inform would turn out really painful, if not impossible. I think I'll check it out PAWS properly before embarking on any serious IF project. Cheers !

I always found with both Inform and TADS that things went fine until I wanted to really do something complicated, at which point, I was out of luck, but maybe that's just me.

I know of at least one example where bbfreeze has been used to package a PyOpenGL game for Windows ( http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2008/08/11/exe-video/ ), so it must be fairly capable.

Thanks for the mention! :) I’ve seen 3D done in Flex before, but seeing Doom has a certain wow factor to it. :D It’s actually the first time for me to see that! :)
