Lots of penguins. <p>Snowballz is a (hopefully) fun little python based RTS game with no real plan. My style of developing has always, for some reason, just to let the project move and change as it goes along. The current gameplay is nothing like what I had in mind when I started coding it (and it's a good thing too, cause what I had in mind at the beginning wasn't very good). I know... games should be planned out and then programmed, but I don't work like that. :P <p>Please note that it may run slow. It uses all SDL (no GL rendering). See the README file for help on speeding it up. | Snowballz 0.0.1 | new | Snowballz |
