Hey Luke,
> Can I use pyglet instead of pygame?
As of now, no you can't. This is a pygame only competition. I've had
quite a few requests for pyglet, so its concievable that I'll let
pyglet be used in the future.
> Can I create a bitmap and store it as a string in the code, then do a
fromstring to load it to a surf, or do I literally have to use the
drawing functions of pygame/pyglet? I figured the filesize limitation
was because this was allowed.
Nope. You have to use the drawing functions of pygame. I wrote an
ImageToString script that lets you draw images in the code itself.
Everything in the game must be done with pygame.
