pygame python animation bubbles artistic weird

Description

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCEp7I_AeFM

Just a very simple (and useless) python script. You "could" call it artistic as it's basically a keyboard-controlled interactive animation. May help some people to understand pygame animation. Requires the pygame library.

Controls: a/q - decrease/increase red opacity in background
s/w - decrease/increase green opacity in background
d/e - decrease/increase blue opacity in background
f/r - remove/add bubbles (kills fps quick)
g/t - decrease/increase bubble size
up/down - increase/decrease vertical movement
right/left - increase/decrease horizontal movement
Colours of bubbles are chosen randomly and are constantly randomly changing (+-10) between 0 and max value which is set by asd/qwe keys.

There is also 2.5Dimension version with different controls and somewhat 3D spacce.

Changes

My first attempt to make something 3D in pygame. It's actually 3D but:

- space is projected on a plane instead of a sphere (perspective only works to some extent)

- objects are not sorted by distance (far objects overlap near objects sometimes)

- camera doesn't rotate

Controls:

- arrows (horizontal movement)

- T, G (vertival movement)

- TAB - show/hide text info

That is exactly what keys mean. Colours of bubbles are chosen randomly and are constantly randomly changing (+-10) between 0 and max value which is set by asd/qwe keys. Pygame is great for such programming silliness ;)

Nice little demo, might want to explain what each key combo does. Here's my best interpretation: a/q - decrease/increase red opacity in background s/w - decrease/increase green opacity in background d/e - decrease/increase blue opacity in background f/r - remove/add bubbles (kills fps quick) g/t - decrease/increase bubble size up/down - increase/decrease vertical movement right/left - increase/decrease horizontal movement I assume the bubble colors are a function of the background color. That's the best I can figure. At any rate: nice job!
