Here it is, the 1.0 release of Claptraps! Windows users can run the included ClapTraps.exe, Linux users will have to make sure they have PyGame installed and then run "python ClapTraps.py". If you're on another operating system that has PyGame, give it a try and report back.
Have fun!

Items
The game is shaping up nicely, but it's not ready for primetime yet! So I thought I'd whet your appetite by showing you the game items.
Dave: Our hero, saviour of frogs.
Dave's Chopper: When our hero has collected all the frogs, head to the chopper! Can be pushed around.
Bush: Gets in the way. Push the action button to chop it down, but beware of what you might unleash!
Wall, Rock: Gets in the way. Indestructible.
Grass: Gets in the way. Walk on top of it to trample it down.
Smiley: Push it out of the way, but beware, once it's going it's hard to stop it! Will kill frogs if it's moving (red or green). Can push buttons.
Apple: Falls down and rolls off other apples. Don't let it land on your head or green frogs! Tasty to a red frog.
Frog box: Contents - 1 frog. Can be dropped and broken on certain objects, otherwise you'll have to break it with a Smiley.
Green frog: A bit dumb, but Dave loves them. Collect all the frogs. Generally calm, but can be startled easily. They will follow the left hand wall if they can. Can push buttons if they're moving.
Red frog: Do not disturb! These frogs are poisonous and will charge at Daves! Will stop and eat any apples they come across. Can push buttons if they're moving.
Transporter: A persistent portal to another location. Dave isn't the only thing that can use them.
Turret: Fires a continuous laser beam.
Laser: Deadly! Will disintegrate most objects.
Gate: Can be opened and closed by buttons. Will block laser beams.
Lock, Key: Push a key into a lock to open it up. Locks will block laser beams.
Button: Certain things will activate this button if they get close. Open/close gates. Some experimentation required.
