[pygame] Assembly Line Game

[Kris Schnee <kschnee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello. I just tried your Assembly Line game and had fun with it. It
makes a nice educational tool, too, forcing you to think about exactly
how to arrange and time the manufacturing processes without imposing a
single right way to build something.

I noted that the tutorial was inaccurate, because in the Mojo Mallet
setup it said to buy 40x10 sheets of material, when in fact you couldn't
buy that size. I was using 50x10 sheets and wasting a lot of precious
veridium, making production unprofitable, but found a somewhat more
efficient method using 50x5 and 50x1 sheets.

Sales of Funky Frisbees seem to fall off dramatically after a few
months. Is this intentional? If so, it's a good idea, forcing you to
develop new products to stay profitable.

The factory animations look buggy when speed is set to high, but this is
probably due to identical parts moving so fast that they seem to be
going backwards.

I had some trouble loading saved games, but didn't manage to pinpoint
the error. It seemed that I would load and find that my latest factory
had vanished. The problem might have been that I was typing in, say, "K"
for the saved game name, rather than "K.alg"... but that theory didn't
hold up when I tested it.

I placed a Packing Station, hit "On," got a "not configured" warning,
then deleted the Packing Station, but the warning icon above where the
machine was stayed on the screen.

In any case, thanks for showing this game off!
