Far Blazer is an action/arcade game written entirely in Python.  It is
free software. It is released under the LGPL license; see the file
COPYING.txt for more information.
 
It has fullscreen 800x600 graphics. Currently there is no sound; this
is coming in a future version. Joystick should work, but since I don't
have a joystick I don't have a way to test it!
 
Far Blazer is built with Pygame 1.1. This library is a great set of
modules yfor game development in python, with a growing community of
users. It provides a "pythonic" object oriented interface for the
fantastic SDL media library.
 
The game is based on Star Blazer, a game I liked playing on the Apple
][.
 
It's a side-scrolling, shoot 'em up game. It has several levels or
missions, each mission has an objective that you have to destroy. Use
the arrow keys to move, space to shoot or bomb.

Don't bomb the houses or buildings, they subtract from your score.

'd' will display frames per second; 'p' pauses the game, <return>
resumes.


Notes for Windows version:

Just click on the Far Blazer icon to launch the game.



Notes for the Linux version:

The Linux version is sourcecode only; you will need Python 2.0 or
later, Pygame 1.1 or later, SDL 1.2, SDL_image-1.2.0 or later,
