Nice game, I like the sort of game where you can powerup different weapons. I do wish it were a little more survivable, it's rare for me to get past 1000 points. I also wish the powerup icons would change shape to show you which powerup you'll get. The idea behind the increasing play area is original, that's a cool feature. My biggest request would be to make an easy setting where the ship isn't so fragile, and the powerups are more frequent.

	1.01 package broken posted by Anonymous @ 195.169.149.213 on Apr 1 2006 4:57 PM
The 1.01 zip is missing the models/* and sound/* files and won't start. The files from the 1.0 distribution work, though.

	Python >= 2.4 only? posted by AnonymousMcNobody @ 64.246.140.105 on Mar 3 2006 6:07 AM
Traceback (most recent call last): File "./main.py", line 19, in ? from ship import Player File "~/Games/triplexinvaders-1.0/ship.py", line 22 return min((dist(pos, enemy.pos), enemy) for enemy in enemies)[1] SyntaxError: invalid syntax I have a feeling this is related to my version of Python (2.3.5) - can anyone confirm this?

Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by godrin @ 80.130.232.132 on Mar 3 2006 8:44 AM Seems like that. I get the same error when starting with my standard 2.3.5 version on Debian testing. Sad enough Debian doesn't provide pyopengl for Python 2.4 yet.   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by Anonymous @ 84.159.248.193 on Mar 3 2006 8:46 AM   Yes, that's correct. To run this with 2.3 you need to add some extra square brackets so the line reads: return min([(dist(pos, enemy.pos), enemy) for enemy in enemies])[1]   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by Anonymous @ 84.159.248.193 on Mar 3 2006 9:04 AM   here is the full patch: diff -r original/color.py triplexinvaders-1.0/color.py 92c92 < return sum(abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(c1, c2)) --- > return sum([abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(c1, c2)]) 109c109 < --- > diff -r original/effects.py triplexinvaders-1.0/effects.py 59c59 < evel = vAvg(model.vertices()[v] for v,n in model.faces()[0]) --- > evel = vAvg([model.vertices()[v] for v,n in model.faces()[0]]) diff -r original/enemy.py triplexinvaders-1.0/enemy.py 102c102 < dst, closest = min((dist(ship.pos, x.pos), x) for x in otherShips) --- > dst, closest = min([(dist(ship.pos, x.pos), x) for x in otherShips]) 130c130 < lostProjectiles.draw() --- > lostProjectiles.draw() diff -r original/rgb.py triplexinvaders-1.0/rgb.py 768c768 < return colors[min((sum(abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(c, color)), c) for c in colors)[1]] --- > return colors[min([(sum([abs(x-y) for x,y in zip(c, color)]), c) for c in colors])[1]] 777c777 < --- > diff -r original/ship.py triplexinvaders-1.0/ship.py 22c22 < return min((dist(pos, enemy.pos), enemy) for enemy in enemies)[1] --- > return min([(dist(pos, enemy.pos), enemy) for enemy in enemies])[1] diff -r original/vector.py triplexinvaders-1.0/vector.py 10c10 < return '(' + ' + '.join(str(x)+y for x,y in zip(self, ['i', 'j', 'k']+['X']*(len(self)-3))) + ')' --- > return '(' + ' + '.join([str(x)+y for x,y in zip(self, ['i', 'j', 'k']+['X']*(len(self)-3))]) + ')' 29c29 < return sqrt(sum(v**2 for v in self)) --- > return sqrt(sum([v**2 for v in self])) 70c70 < return sum(x*y for x,y in zip(v1, v2)) --- > return sum([x*y for x,y in zip(v1, v2)])   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by godrin @ 80.130.232.132 on Mar 3 2006 9:08 AM Sorry, I'm at a loss how to use this patch. Can anybody point out to me how to run it?   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by godrin @ 80.130.232.132 on Mar 3 2006 9:37 AM I made manually. Thanks for the patch. This game is cool! I like abstract shooters!!! I switched the fire button to LCTRL, cause my keyboard doesn't support diagonal moves otherwise :-) I like this laser idea - never saw that before. Add some sound and music and can be a great game!   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by Anonymous @ 84.173.209.185 on Mar 5 2006 6:36 AM   Just for the record: patch -p1 < Patchfile should have done the trick   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by AnonymousMcNobody @ 64.246.140.105 on Mar 3 2006 9:56 AM Thanks. It's running like a charm now. Definitely a very nice start to the game - very sylish, fun to play. I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for updates to this one.   [Reply]   Re: Python >= 2.4 only? posted by Anonymous @ 80.1.224.5 on Mar 16 2006 3:08 AM   I get the same thing (with python 2.3.3)...

IANANativeEnglishSpeaker, but... did you mean "neverending hordes"?
[Reply]
Re: Never ending hoards posted by scarlet @ 59.167.32.225 on Mar 7 2006 12:46 PM   A horde is a large group of nomadic warriors. Never ending means that there is an unlimited number of something. Never ending horde is an unlimited number of warriors.   [Reply]   Re: Never ending hoards posted by Anonymous @ 67.51.165.105 on Mar 7 2006 3:06 PM   He means it should be "neverending" not "never ending".   [Reply]   Re: Never ending hoards posted by Anonymous @ 69.228.190.230 on Mar 7 2006 3:51 PM   No, he means "horde" instead of "hoard." A hoard is a large collection of treasure or other goodies.   [Reply]   Re: Never ending hoards posted by Anonymous @ 67.51.165.105 on Mar 8 2006 3:06 PM   Well, that too. Heh.   [Reply]   Re: Never ending hoards posted by bigfatdude @ 66.254.246.198 on Apr 1 2006 2:44 PM   never-ending hordes.   [Reply]
