Farming for profit and pleasure Posted on 13 June 2007 | Tagged fields of gold, code, site, subversion viewer | Comments (3)

Over the past few days, me and Mat have started working on a little project called Fields of Gold. It's a farming simulation (basically a Harvest Moon clone :P), which Mat assures me is a great genre of game. I'm not yet convinced but we'll see.. We've opened up the subversion repository to the public, but it's still very early days for the project. If you don't believe me, check the screenshot:

Yes, that red arrow is your character.. sorry, programmer art. However I do believe this game has potential! This is the first time I've used python before, and combined with the wonderful pygame library, I don't think I've ever seen code come together so fast. Yay python!

I have also thrown together a little subversion repository viewer for this site, along the lines of the trac viewer but much simpler. It's all coded in php and SilverStripe, so it just slots in nicely with the rest of the site. Hopefully as I have more time I'll be able to add a few more features to it.
