Pytillery
A downloadable game
Pytillery.py is a rehash of the old computer game Artillery that was popular on many classic machines. Two players do battle by lobbing shells at each other's bunker positions. My first memory of this game was playing it on an Apple IIe computer, but it certainly found its way onto many other platforms and it existed on many others prior to being on the Apple IIe.
This project was a means to learning more about the turtle graphics package and just what one could do with it. One certainly isn't going to make the next God of War game with it, but it was fun to recreate an old classic that brought me joy as a kid.
