Mortimer the Lepidopterist by Christopher Night (cosmologicon) Winner (Individual) for Pyweek 2010-08.

• Forked by poikilos: https://github.com/poikilos/lepidopterist
  (prior versions were uploaded as separate commits)

• Use a game controller (gamepad or joystick; using the MIT Licensed SoftController module: src/controller.py from github.com/poikilos/SoftController).
  • Key mapping is available and appears in the help messages.
  • The help messages show the button numbers the next time they load after you hit a game controller button.
• You can do everything using only the mouse (requires some touch-like controls and a scroll wheel). See mouse controls below.
• Save the most recent statistics in a machine-readable format.
  • For running contests:
    • Collect and clear savegame.pkl between players (manually or using another script).
    • A score of 100 is good (in about 10 minutes) and can serve as a maximum for percentage-based player or team scores.
• Save screenshots to the user's Pictures directory (or Pictures/Screenshots if exists).

python3 run_game.py

• or in Windows, double-click "run_game.pyw" (choose the python location where you installed if it asks to choose a program--See "Requires").

python3 (tested on 2.6.2) and pygame (tested on 1.9.4.post1)

Windows:

• Install python
  • During install, you must check the option to add Python to PATH.

1. Catch butterflies
2. Earn money

4. Repeat

Follow the in-game tips.

(Numbers are gamepad buttons, numbered as labeled on the actual controller--starting with 1. All italicized controls are for menus.)

1. Enter: nab (with net) or confirm/buy
2. Tab: switch between the full and mini heads-up display (feat names)
3. Space: jump
4. Backspace: back
5. Esc: pause or exit
6. f: switch between fullscreen and window mode
7. F12 key: screenshot

Move: Arrow keys + or a & d

Note that in the source code the button index is one less than these numbers (gamepad buttons are zero-indexed).

• nab (enter): left click within reach
• leap (space): right-click on your character if in the air.
  • If on ground, it will always leap.
• turn ('x' axis) left-click backward in air (on ground, left-click walks unless clicking within reach to nab)
• twirl ('nab' and 'leap') - left&right mouse buttons within reach at once
• dart ('jump' and 'x' axis) - right-click forward
• bound ('jump' and 'x' axis) - right-click backward
• roll ('nab' and 'x' axis) - middle-click forward in air (on ground, middle-click walks unless clicking within reach to nab)
• roll ('nab')
