Setup process

Notes for myself.

When PyWeek is announced

Begin by creating the directory:

git clean -f -X skellington
cp -r skellington pyweek##
git add pyweek##

Update pyweek##/README.txt to change references (##) to the appropriate number.

Make initial git checkin.

Development during PyWeek

Place modules in the src subdirectory. Within modules, use relative imports to import other modules:

from . import module1, module2

Modules may be executed as standalone scripts from the command line:

python -m src.module1

End of development

Check the list of pygame tips to make sure you didn't make any cross-platform mistakes:

After the deadline (packaging)

Rename the directory to reflect the game name.

Make sure DEBUG mode is off by default in the checkin.

Make sure music and data is pointing to the correct place.

Update the README and LICENSE files in the game directory to reflect the game name.

tar czf gamename.tgz gamename/
