Glider

This is a video of a project I'm working on. It's a remake of John Calhoun's Macintosh game, Glider. There are a few versions of Glider out there: Glider 3.12, Glider 4.0, and Glider Pro. This remake is closest to Glider 4.0, but it has new elements, and even some things from 3.12.

I'm coding it in Python (with Pygame libraries) so it will work on multiple platforms, but I've never claimed to be a programmer, just an artist. In truth, almost all of the code is in if/then/else from.

This is a little preview of what I've done so far. Sorry for the shaky camera and screen glare.

Very good remake. I like this game. After you end the project can you portate to PC ?
