Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

I would like to join as a programmer, please!

I have quite a bit of Python and Pygame experience, but no Livewires.

Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

So, the game so far consists in attempting to edit a Scratch post?  tongue

I'm not that good with Python, I actually seem to dislike the language's syntax. I would not attempt to create a RPG, however - it's too complex.

Thanks! You're added! What would you like to make? Do you like StarFox or Pokémon? I would want to make a side-scrolling version or either of those.

P.S. I'm only starting to learn Pygame and Livewires. I'm trying to learn object-oriented programming right now.

Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

Whilst a collaboration, it's not to do with Scratch, per-say. I'm going to move this over to the Advanced Topics forum, let's see how it does there!

Yay! Thanks!  big_smile
I've never actually played either (:oooo) but I looked them up and I think Pokemon is a better choice.  smile

P.S. Pygame is actually really easy. Python does have a good bit of object-oriented stuff, but Java works too.  smile

I thought of a great idea! You play as a Metagross and you have to fight your way through a city, and the name will be METAPHYSICS!

Yes, perfect! But before we start, we need a concept and art.

Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

I have just started learning python, and every time i try to run pygame it crashes.
Do you take COMPLETE beginners? The best i've done so far has been guess the number, and i like the turtle module, err, that's about it.

Sure, I'll take anyone! If you don't want to program, you can be added as an artist or a designer if you want.

Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

I'm definitely no artist, i just took this as an opportunity to learn python a bit better.
I'm quite good at animating- you give me art, i'll send it back animated however you want!
Also, how do we send work to each other? Is this the reason why we're on scratch-to circulate the work around? If you give me one drawing, the easiest way for me to send the animation back to you is as a scratch project. You can then save the frames as pictures.
I'll write you a storyline, and i could add sound.

Cool! Well, I'd like an animation of Metagross using Meteor Mash (his leg turns white and he punches) and using hyper beam (He shoots a white beam). After 2.0 is released, we'll have an exclusive chat for this collaboration.

Re: The Evil Banana: a side scroller made in Python/Pygame

And all my animations can at last be vector (hooray!)
They aren't so good in bitmap (understatement)

Give me a picture of metagross how you want him/her just before he/she
Fires/punches and i can get started.
As i said, i'm no artist, so please don't leave the drawing to me.
Shall i do a walking animation too?

I'm not an artist either, so we'll have to wait until one shows up.

Make some projects! You need projects to be a 'Scratcher'.

I know, I've been here for over a year, and have more than 3000 posts, and over 40 projects.  tongue

I'm trying to make my projects as good as possible, so they go really slowly.

Over 40 projects? New scratcher?
I was a scratcher in 20 minutes, no successful projects, with only 10 uploads! You should complain or something!
Did you say you wanted the walking animation?

Yes, please! Just grab his legs and move them as if he was walking, like an AT-AT.
