Grubs (Python Game) Pt 1 - Introduction & The Carnivore

The first in several videos about a work in progress game. The game is the first I've ever used python in, so the main goal is to develop and learn from this.

In this first part I'll introduce the Game itself and the creature which started it all - The Carnivore.

Pt 2 (The Grubs) - coming soon.

The game (v0.3) is now available for download - http://www.box.net/shared/jruogco0g8

Thanks -- ADEdge

do you mind telling me a good place to learn how to make games like this?

[ADEdge]

@killcamike If you join blenderartists . org then theres a whole community of people there, along with heaps of game related tutorials and you can ask questions etc. Also just download Blender (its opensource and therefore doesnt cost anything) and you can start playing with it and doing tutorials right away. It does take time tho, expect to spend a long time learning all this stuff and start off basic (like making a game of pong etc)

@ADEdge Thank you so much! And are you still into Python? Or have you moved on to more advanced languages?

[ADEdge]

@killcamike I do still use python, its the language the blender game engine uses for this kind of stuff, you cant really use anything else. But I have started learning several other languages as part of my uni degree. Having a background in python has made learning other languages a lot easier.

And I wouldnt say 'more advanced languages', simply because all languages can be pretty advanced if you want them to be. Nasa does use python for a lot of their stuff - just for some perspective :)

How long had you been using Python and Pygame at the time of making this?

[ADEdge]

@GreenlineGaming Id finished a BGE python tutorial a couple of days before making this game and video. Its a good tutorial, gives you pretty much everything you need to know to get started using python for the blender game engine. No pygame used here.

Realy good game, but why eggs? Not emeralds, keys or something else? Yeah graphics is good
