Next week: the 9th PyWeek game programming challenge!

[Richard Jones]

The ninth PyWeek challenge starts this weekend, running between Sunday  
30th August to Sunday 6th September (00:00UTC to 00:00UTC)

The PyWeek challenge invites entrants to write a game in one week from
scratch either as an individual or in a team. Entries must be developed
in Python, during the challenge, and must incorporate some theme chosen
at the start of the challenge.

PLANNING FOR THE CHALLENGE --

Make sure you have working versions of the libraries you're going to  
use.
The rules page has a list of libraries and other resources.

Make sure you can build packages to submit as your final submission (if
you're going to use py2exe, make sure you know how to use it and that it
works).

If you don't have access to Linux, Windows or a Mac to test on, contact
friends, family or other competitors to find someone who is able to test
for you.
