I really like the parallax effect for the background stars and the main sprite itself - looks very clean. The planets also look pretty nice but I wasn't able to collect fuel from them? Avoiding being rammed was a good obstacle, but there should have been an objective too. Good game anyways, maybe just needed a bit more content
I'm not sure what exactly I am supposed to do to play this game, because the github repository not only has the source code, but also the pyinstaller version of the game... two of them. And one doesn't run
The game stays in task manager after you close it, which is weird to say the least. I would also highly recommend NOT making the OS cursor always stay inside the borders of the game window.
The game itself looks great, but everything I mentioned above definitely affected my experience a lot :(
Planet effect does a good job. I was greedy collecting fuel, so i got rammed few times haha. I like the end screen, it has a nice effect. I do agree with Andrey, there could be more content. Overall, good job!
underwhelming amount of content :(
Hey I got this error upon running `main.py`
```py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/axis/Downloads/PoweredByPlanets/main.py", line 203, in <module>
pygame.display.set_icon(pygame.image.load(dirPath+"/SpaceshipOn.png"))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory: '/home/axis/downloads/poweredbyplanets/SpaceshipOn.png'.
```
I tried solving it by removing `.lower()` to your `dirPath`, but then I got this```py
Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 0 ()
Serial number of failed request: 249
Current serial number in output stream: 249
```
Am on Arch
I figured out how to make it run on Linux, there are three small changes to the original source code. First, as you already found you have to remove the .lower(), on line 21. Next, to fix the second bug you have, comment out the entirety of line 203 to avoid setting the icon, which seems to be causing it. And finally, capitalize the L on the loading on line 207.
It works!!
