compatibility problem?:
who-slides-wins-0.5.zip , team Who slides wins! : for me it crashed with:
old = signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, self.handle_timeout)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SIGALRM'
I dont know if it is a windows-linux compat or a python 2.4 vs 2.5(I am on
windows and 2.4)
I am on Linux and have not tested on Windows.

"The problem with you hackers is you never stop working" - Snowcrash
TODO:
1) Declaring the Winner. Priority 1
2) Submission before 12:00 Tonight. ( This is an exclusive condition and will
hold good, even if both are not fixed). Package and submit. Packaging will take
30 mins to 1 hour.
But, glad that it is done!
npuzzle.py is having a problem wherein it gives a unsolvable state. I got to
make to sure that those things should not be passed on to UI.
Shall post an animated gif and off to stage III now.
Will look into the npuzzle problem next to it.

I am trying to complete the stage II where the computer will automatically
solve the puzzle. Made some changes and I have checked in to cvs. If you have
any updates in terms of Music(Kannaps) and Splash Screen(Vijay), please share.
Faster we discuss better. If no updates yet, not to worry, we still have time
and try your chance in meddling with some pygame examples.
Dei Vijay, see if you can workout an intial splasher screen for the game da.
Try the TextWidget in pygame:
www.learningpython.com/2006/12/13/textwidget-a-simple-text-class-for-pygame/
Kannapa: We might need to add music to the initial screen and for every move.
Also the algo-related challenges are entirely in N puzzle solution used by
computer. For large shuffles it may not work properly. We have to analyze why
it is so and probably find a better solution.
But I would suggest music to be higher priority ( and simpler one) and then the
algo changes.

Deadline for completion of Stage II is tommorow. (Sep 10)
Stage III should be attempted tommorow itself.

Kannapa, Vijayakumar:
I am using the CVS option available at uthcode to version manage.
If you would like to you, then I suggest install cvs client ( Tortoise CVS) and
checkout the code and start modifying it.
If someother hosting is your preference ( like code.google.com), we can use
that also ( it uses SVN).
Both: Please try this stage-1. We can discuss and take it further from this
point.
Btw. Stage-1 derives heavily from PicturePuzzle, so got to credit that author.
I made changes to the code thought.

Then to understand a bit about sprites and blit, I headed over to:
http://www.sacredchao.net/~piman/writing/sprite-tutorial.shtml
With a fair amount of understanding, I should be able to get started with
cuting the images for the puzzle now.
Yesterday, while trying with PicturePuzzle, I got lost with not able to
understand the blit and other functions. So I took this approach.
Time is running, got to get the stage 1 of teh game ready.

phoe6: Can someone help me understand the theme :- "The length of a
piece of string"
boiserm: :-)
phoe6: I am have certain ideas, like the game should corelate the
theme, but that idea is bit vague.
RB[0]: well basically, you need to make a game that as one of it's
key elements it has length of a string
phoe6: so, I thought I would better discuss
RB[0]: np
RB[0]: as long as strings are in it
RB[0]: and it matters there length
RB[0]: anything is about fine :)
phoe6: Ohh, one of key-elements to be length of string.. :)
phoe6: I get it.
boiserm: so... theoretically... you could count the characters in a
file? ;-)
phoe6: :D
phoe6: yeah. :)
RB[0]: lol

1) Start with the Introduction written by Peter Shinners:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/intro/intro.html
2) Head to Newbie guide:
http://www.pygame.org/docs/tut/newbieguide.html
I thought the same. I don't want to do aadupuli in a hurry. we will
start with your game.

Kannappa, what would be your prefered id? deshkanna?
v4vijayakumar: Goats-and-Tigers is getting introduced through:
http://aadupuli.appspot.com/challenge
We can work on that as well.
I justed started with getting some idea of pygames. I have the initial screens
ready. I shall post the code and screen-shot next. Which will give the idea of
what our game is going to be.
PyWeek, however goes like this:
1) Register as a team. (I shall do, once I get Kannapan's id).
- Team Name (v4vijayakumar and deshkanna to choose)
- Game Name (Phoe6 suggests: "Who Slides Wins!")
- Description (Phoe6)
- Team members
2) Then we vote for the themes.
- Login to the PyWeek website and look at the themes in the bottom
right hand side corner and cast your votes from (1-5).
- Keep in mind to vote something that will enable us to go for our idea
of game.
- If some other idea wins, then we adopt our game accordingly or go for
a new game.
Till then let us experiment and play with pygame.

me, v4vijayakumar.
Senthil, I thought we would develop goats-and-tigers.
Lets introduce this game to the world, any idea?! :-)

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
posting to the blog.
