RMaze

Time to announce my latest diversion from real life: RMaze. It's a puzzle game, involving a maze (yes, really), marbles (good and bad), pits, lasers, mines, and some annoying hills and dimples. It's based on an old game called MegaMaze that had nearly exactly the same principle, albeit without 'good' graphics or expandability (like an open maze file format).

It's being developed specifically with the (my) Nokia 770 in mind (I need something to do during the more boring lectures). Thus, it runs at 800x480, and is just efficient enough to run smoothly on the 770, with its ~200mhz ARM.

It's a Python program, and so will run anywhere Python and Pygame will. This includes PCs; I'll be releasing both versions simultaneously.

Screenshots will follow when I get rid of some of the horrendous temporary artwork.
