Description

In 1984, Microsphere published `Skool Daze`_, a game for the `Sinclair ZX Spectrum`_. In 1985, the sequel `Back to Skool`_ was published. Each game is based in a boys' school (though Back to Skool adds a playground and a girls' school) and revolves around the antics of Eric, the hero. In Skool Daze, Eric must steal his report card from the school safe - the combination of which must be extracted from the teachers' brains using flashing shields or, in the case of the history teacher, post-hypnotic suggestion. In Back to Skool, Eric must get his report card back into the school safe, this time with the extra help provided by a water pistol, stinkbombs, a bike, mice, a frog and a girlfriend. Pyskool is a re-implementation of these classic games in Python and Pygame, with the aim of making them easy to customise by editing a configuration file or - for more advanced customisation - writing some Python code. .. _`Skool Daze`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skool_Daze .. _`Back to Skool`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_Skool .. _`Sinclair ZX Spectrum`: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum
