Re: [pygame] Super Mario like game(s)

["Andre Roberge" <andre.roberge@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Kevin, Dave and kschnee for your suggestions so far.

If my daughter keeps up her interest and we do manage to make a game, I'll do my best to write a tutorial - probably documenting stuff as we go along.

Now, if only Pygame were available for Python 2.5 on the mac...  I guess we'll do this on Windows...

You could always try Bible Dave, too (yeah yeah, religious, still a pretty useful game). http://pygame.org/projects/20/285/

As far as the subject of side-scrolling games goes, I'd love to see a really good tutorial some day. It seems to be one of the most "want to do" 2D games, even though it's rather hard compared to something like Asteroids.

Well, you could do a lot worse than the fine Barbie Seahorse Adventures:
