Thirsty Nellan in Python (Pygame)

Tags:

Thirsty Nellan in Python is a Pygame adaptation of a public domain game Thirsty Nellan. I wrote it for the purpose of learning Python and Pygame. The original game by Geoffrey M. Draper can be found at https://geoffdraper.com/programming/nellan . All the graphics and audio were copied from the original game. The fonts are public domain Bitstream Vera fonts.

Many thanks to Geoff Draper for creating the original game and making it open source!
Also, many thanks to Coursera and profs Joe Warren, Scott Rixner, John Greiner and Stephen Wong of Rice University for their awesome online course “An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python”! (https://class.coursera.org/interactivepython-2012-001)

How to run the game: python main.py
Tested with Python 2.7.3 and Pygame 1.9.1.
