The bread monster visits for a third time.
I continued my experiments with homemade bread this weekend. Results shown below, looks better than week 2 but was a bit heavier texture.
This is the recipe I am playing with at the moment.

Call of the Python
I started learning Python last year to do some scripting at work for testing, I recently discovered the game libraries (pygame, pyglet, etc) so have started looking into writing a game.
This is something I’ve been wanting to do from an early age back when I got my first 8-bit computer and never had the time or the skills to achieve.
After just a week of using pyglet during my lunch hour at work and a couple of hours at night I’m well on my way to finishing my first game, a breakout/ arkanoid clone.
Enjoying every minute of it.

Download and buy at http://www.superiorinteractive.com/repton/
You can run it full screen or in a window as shown below.
Even after 25 years away from the game I still remembered how to do the first level, scary or what.
