    Well you never know until you try. ;) iPod game in Python? That would be too much trouble I think. We've got a working C/C++/Objective-C framework here with all the things we need... Changing to something else would be waste of time. ;)

    I'm sure you can do simple and even complex games using Python, just don't expect C-class performance from it. ;)

    They gave us too much time. There are 10 days left and I'm lazy, so I estimate I'll start drawing something in about... 8-9 days.

    Of course, but that's the reason I haven't even started yet. I've got a bunch of ideas, I just can't be bothered to draw anything out right now.

    Ouch, it's going to be hard to mirror that image upside down... :p But we could always do like we've done in the Winter levels, just mirror it horizontally and don't make levels that scroll much up and down...

    But the color scheme is great, and the image stays in the background quite well, I think, if you put game sprites on top of that. War theme could be all (almost) black and white with a film grain effect?

    :D I added the future war theme to our TODO-list with a question mark. A good idea, have to admit! :)

    Question! I've got quite a few objects in mind now and I was wondering if I actually have to desgin all of the finished versions or if I can just sketch a few blueprints to show you my ideas. I'll draw the main one I'm entering in the competition but I don't want to waste the other ones either.
