PyPebbles is one of the many Tetris-like puzzle games. A board is filled with stones of different colors. Your goal is to make lines of stones of the same color. Two neighbouring stones can swap places, but only if a line of three or more stones is formed that way. Those lines will then disappear, letting other stones fall down. You score points for every line that disappears. It's that simple! Requirements
PyPebbles is written in Python and uses the Pygame library. You need to install both on your system to play PyPebbles. Current linux distributions should contain packages of both, if not or if you are using Windows or another system you will need to download Python and Pygame here:
- Python download page
- Pygame download page
I recommend using most current versions (Python 2.3 and Pygame 1.6) but earlier versions may also work. PyPebbles was tested on Debian GNU/Linux (unstable), Windows XP and Windows 2000. It should work on all platforms supported by Pygame. If you use it on anoher system (like a Mac) drop me a note. Installation
So far there is no installation! Just unpack the .tar.gz-file and start the file pypebbles.py with your Python interpreter (./pypebbles.py on unix, doubleclick on Windows).
