Black & White controls for Python

Do you remember the game Black and White and and its novel approach to UI control? The player used the mouse to draw gestures. These gestures were recognized by the game and controlled large parts of the game.

Inspired by an article published on GameDev.net, I reimplemented the stuff for single stroke gestures in Python. You can download the gestures class here. Additionally, you will need the Vector2D class published earlier. Both classes are well documented and I will publish some usage examples within the next days.

Build a Game within one Week

Sounds great, doesn't it?

If you like the idea, than you should register for PyWeek8.

You can either take part as team or individual, vote for one of five topics and after the theme for the challenge is announced, you have exactly one week to implement your game in Python.

Good Luck!

A Two Dimensional Vector For Python

To make the usage of PyGame easier I implemented a simple class for two dimensional vectors which can be downloaded here. It makes heavy usage of Python's operator overloading and metaobject protocol.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think about it.
