pyRacerz request:
----------------
- a "recent" Python (> 2.2):
If you have a GNU/Linux box, you should already have Python installed.
(If not, you're surely know how to install it)
For Windows, or other platform, goto <http://python.org/download/> and install the last
version of Python.
(Python will surely be useful for other things...)
- pyGame (> 1.7):
You should also install a "recent" version of pyGame
<http://www.pygame.org/download.shtml>
Sometimes on some GNU/Linux distros, you should also "manually" install a more recent SDL-ttf
package, 2.0.7 instead of 2.0.6. (pyGame is a python wrapper for the SDL library)
- Numeric Python (only for windows):
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1369>
Or for more infos, goto <http://www.pygame.org/install.html>
- psyCo (not required):
psyCo is a library that increases the python code speed.
If you have psyCo installed, pyRacerz will detect it and use it.
pyRacerz has been tested on:
---------------------------
- Windows XP Pro
- Fedora Core 3 (needs the install of the SDL_ttf-2.0.7-1)
If you encounter some problems in running pyRacerz, send me an e-mail, I'll try to help you...
To run pyRacerz:
---------------
- On GNU/Linux, simply type pyRacerz.py (and pyRacerz.py --help to have options)
- On Windows, double-click on the pyRacerz.py file
(if you want to play fullscreen, create a link to pyRacerz.py and append --fullscreen to the target)
The base resolution of pyRacerz is 1024x768 but you can run it with lower resolutions with the --resolution option
(type pyRacerz.py --help for details)
Music in pyRacerz:
-----------------
If you want to listen to some musics when playing at pyRacerz, simply put your .ogg files in
the "musics" directory
Add tracks:
----------
You can add a track on pyRacerz, for that you need to create 3 files (xxxx is the name of your track) in the "tracks" directory:
- xxxx.png is a 8-bit/color 1024 x 768 image representing the track aspect
- xxxxF.png is a 8-bit/color 1024 x 768 image representing the track characteristics:
- The Red channel is used to design Checkpoints (checkpoints are color blocks with color increasing 16 by 16)
- The Green channel is used to know the road quality
- The Blue channel is not used (yet !!!)
- xxxx.conf is a configuration file containing some datas about the track:
- The author
- The number of checkpoint
- The position of the 3 first cars on the track (Normal and Inverted)
If everything is OK, your track will be automatically added to pyRacerz.
See the existing tracks to know how to create a new one, or contact me...
Add cars:
--------
You can also add your cars to pyRacerz, for that you need to creaté 2 files (x is the number of your car) in the "sprites/cars" directory:
- carX.png representing the car
- carXB.png representing the car with Brake Lights On
If everything is OK, your car will be automatically added to pyRacerz.
See the existing cars to have exemples...
Replays:
-------
With pyRacerz, you can create a Replay of your race. Each Replay is in fact a file (.rep) in the "replays"
directory.
Please send me your best pyRacerz Replays !!!
Challenge:
---------
A new game mode appears in pyRacerz 0.2: Challenge
This mode is in only for Single User.
It consists of several records on several tracks that you have to beat.
If you achieve the Challenge mode, a bonus Track will be available.
