Python PyGame Tower Defence - 0.2.4

A TD implemented in python and pygame.

I'm closing the gap to Beta status. I'll be giving this project the Beta tag when it hits version 0.9. I've got a lot of work to go before it gets there, but the game is already quite playable. The basics are typical to Tower Defense games all over.

There are only seven maps thus far, and only three playable. I have not put great effort into balancing them yet, as things change constantly. That said, I played through all of them before releasing this and found them to be fairly spot-on in difficulty, if a bit lacking in variety. Balance will not be a top priority until the Beta, version 0.9.

The art is nowhere close to tops and there is no sound whatsoever. I am neither an artist nor musician. If anyone would like to contribute either, I would happily give credit for your work.

Comments are welcome and encouraged!

Changes

*800x600 windowed resolution is standard now. I'm going to wait for a few versions until I throw a menu in there for choosing. *Paths are now visible. *Squares are mostly gone, which should make programming the core game, as well as extra features, much more robust. *Deselecting a tower you've picked up to place on the map is now working. *Movelist is simplified, and I'm looking to implement getting the movelist from a file; i.e. a very light layer of customization ability.

    Rewards.py is missing from the latest build... I can't get it to run even if I grab Rewards.py from an older build though... will have a tinker with it and see if I can figure out why not...

    Steve 2012-06-19 02:26

     Got it running, that was my fault... but Rewards.py is def. missing

  • Austin 2012-06-19 02:26

    Thanks for the support, Dylan!

    Steve, Rewards.py isn't used in version 0.8.3. I replaced that whole mess with the Player Upgrade Screen, accessed by right-clicking on the XP Bar. If you're getting an import error, just remove the "import Random" line near the top of localdefs.py. I think that's the only one I missed.

    Thanks for all the feedback, guys!

    cool

  • sipiatti 2012-07-10 08:08

    ImportError: No module named Rewards
    It seems one file missed from the zipball?

  • Mich Nannings 2012-11-27 14:49
