[python-uk] Pyweek runs Feb-Mar: London team?
The 21st Pyweek competition is coming up at the end of the month, running from 00:00 UTC on 28th February to 00:00 UTC 6th March. Pyweek is a games programming contest in which you must write a game in Python, from scratch, in exactly one week. Games must be written around a theme that is up for voting in the week before the contest. The winning challenge theme is announced at the moment the contest starts. Participants can enter as individuals or teams, and there is one winner in each category based on votes from other entrants. The URL: https://www.pyweek.org/ Pyweek is open to everyone: Python novices, adepts or experts. Even people with no programming experience can contribute art, design, sound, music or story to a team project. For some, it might be your first complete end-to-end Python project. You can spend a few hours or all of the week; winning games have been written in a day. One of the most fun aspects of Pyweek is to diarise your progress and upload screenshots. Seeing other games develop, exchanging development war stories and celebrating successes is part of the fun. I would encourage you to consider taking part. Londonites: London Python Dojo regulars have entered a team in the competition a couple of times before, but to my knowledge the last time was several years ago. Since then I've won the individual competition a couple of times, but never the team competition. I think it's time the London Python community stood up to the challenge and took that team trophy home*! Because we're a city of talented, creative, witty Pythonistas. Who's with me?! * There is no trophy. ___ python-uk mailing list python-uk@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk
