PLEASE NOTE: This project is no longer under active development. I have switched to Lua/LOVE as my language of choice, and am working on porting Pylot to Lua.

Pylot is a multi-stage project to build a complex 2D spaceflight game in Python, inspired by Asteroids, XPilot, and Luola. The first stage of the project, which has been completed, is to create a clone of Asteroids - with a few improvements on the original gameplay. The second stage is to develop the game into a clone of XPilot, and will include client-server multiplayer. The third stage is to incorporate elements from other games, such as the little-known cave-flyer called Luola, including destructible terrain, circular gravity sources and EVAs.

Features

Intuitive mouse-based controls
Vector graphics and nostalgic sound effects

Recommended Projects

XPilot
XPilot is a multi-player 2D space game for both local and Internet gaming. Some features are borrowed from classics like the Atari coin-ups Asteroids and Gravitar, and the home-computer games Thrust and Gravity Force, but XPilot has many new aspects too.
XPilot upgrade
Create a new polygon-based map format for XPilot (an open-source multiplayer space game), design other new features.
Recursive Asteroids 3D
Asteroids game with 3D fire, explosions, asteroids, and ships, made with OPENGL and C++. Creates recursive spinning asteroids as fire and debris. 2D or 3D view. All objects made of 3D polygons, specular lighting, dynamic light positions.
BloodsPilot
XPilot optimized to run the Blood's Music map
SDLRoids
SDLRoids is essentially an Asteroids clone, but with a few extra features, and some nice game physics. It's based on xhyperoids, an UNIX port of an old Windows game called Hyperoids.
