Release Set 1.0

So, it’s been a long time in coming, but I’ve been reminded that I have not yet actually put the binaries or sources for my set clone up for anyone. For the impatient:

If you have python and wxpython installed, you can grab the source file, which is 17kb in size.

If you have no clue what I just said, you probably don’t have everything you need to play just yet: you’ll want to grab the binaries I cooked up for windows xp (not tested for vista, although in principle it will work), which is around 8mb.

For the binaries, just unzip and execute the bat file. If you want to ‘install’ it, you’ll need to move the folders to where ever you like your programs and link it yourself. I’m a bit too lazy to make it pretty, and it’s not that big a deal (the game, that is).

The game itself is straightforward; start choosing sets, and the timer will start. If you don’t make a set, nothing will happen. Buttons on the toolbar make a new game, add a card (if you add a card when there’s a set on the table, you get penalized a few seconds and no card gets added), and a ‘cheat’ function that really lays down the penalties, in that order.

There is no documentation. I’m sorry, it’s the way life goes.

It works under ubuntu, last time I checked. Right not, it’s not working for debian testing for some odd reason.

I probably shouldn’t put this last:
IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, TELL ME ABOUT IT. If I am within 5 miles of your location, I may even find out in person what has gone terribly, terribly wrong (if it is sufficently interesting, like an explosion).

EDIT: if the download link is down, tell me ASAP. I’m hosting it on a personal server, and I have not yet perfected the art of keeping that thing up all the time.

EDIT 2: tagged the note appropriately

Best of luck procrastinating,
