The 21st Pyweek competition is coming up at the end of the month,
running from 00:00 UTC on 28th February to 00:00 UTC 6th March. Pyweek
is a games programming contest in which you must write a game in
Python, from scratch, in exactly one week. Games must be written
around a theme that is up for voting in the week before the contest.
The winning challenge theme is announced at the moment the contest
starts. Participants can enter as individuals or teams, and there is
one winner in each category based on votes from other entrants.

Pyweek is open to everyone: Python novices, adepts or experts. Even
people with no programming experience can contribute art, design,
sound, music or story to a team project. For some, it might be your
first complete end-to-end Python project.
You can spend a few hours or all of the week; winning games have been
written in a day. One of the most fun aspects of Pyweek is to diarise
your progress and upload screenshots. Seeing other games develop,
exchanging development war stories and celebrating successes is part
of the fun.
I would encourage you to consider taking part.
Londonites: London Python Dojo regulars have entered a team in the
competition a couple of times before, but to my knowledge the last
time was several years ago. Since then I've won the individual
competition a couple of times, but never the team competition. I think
it's time the London Python community stood up to the challenge and
took that team trophy home*! Because we're a city of talented,
creative, witty Pythonistas. Who's with me?!
* There is no trophy.

Even if I don't get to contribute to an entry, I for one will be
checking in to cheer from the sidelines!
