This tutorial will be replaced today (September 8th, 2009). A lot of problems with the video and audio, that make it a better idea to re-record this one. Please check back on September 9th, 2009 for the updated screencast and text.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvience.

I Did Something Finally!

Guf's SVN/Trac I'm proud to say that my public SVN/TRAC is up and running. I've also officially released GufyGames. It's a python card game. It only runs on the command line for now, it's still early in development and I'm focusing on the underlying library. Once it can work as expected on the command line, I'll add a GUI to it.
