What pyTower is
pyTower is a set of classes written in Python, aiming to make the creation of popular Tower defense games as easy as possible. With the success of this game genre on the flash platform, the next step is to bring this awesomeness to your home desktop.The Problem during the planning phase was that neither of the authors were any good at designing a game. We both just plain suck at it. So we figured instead of creating a game not beeing any fun, we try to make creating a game more fun.
The lib features all the classes needed to create a bleeding-edge tower defense game: Creeps, Towers, Walls, Bullets, Game Engine and GUI. The drawing is done hardware accelerated using OpenGL and the splendid libraries rabbyt and pyglet. We tried to cover the most aspects of current games: Creeps find their own way to the exit (so it is possible to determine the path by building towers). The maze is updated instantly when a tower is built/sold (so it is possible to do "juggling" and the like). In general it is possible to create a game with one script, setting attributes and parameters. See the features page for more details.
