Re: Python game programming challenge, NUMBER 7, in September!

Okay, I was thinking about things to do before going for the challenge.
1) Learn pygames api.
2) Decide on the Game Plan
3) Practise.

I have an idea for the game. It is building upon the some code I already have.
It is Visual ( Randomly selected visual, may be from Nat Geo) N- Puzzle and
the player has to solve it in less number of moves than the computer could
solve.

It has Pygames involved in the creating the maze out of the picture and in
the move.

And very strong logic for the N-Puzzle.


Have a look at: http://www.pygame.org/project/828/

Also, I have created a Blog for Prep and document. Use the email id in CC for
