PyRats - 0.02

A python remake/clone of the old windows 3.1 game Rats! by Sean O'Connor. (Name is very unimaginative and a bit too close to the original for comfort, so any suggestions on a better and less-likely-to-be-sued name are welcome =P)

Requires Pygame 1.8.0 or newer and Python 2 (tested with 2.6).

The objective of the game (which will come into play in a later release): Kill all the rats, before they mate out of control.

If a fertile male adult touches a fertile female adult (that isn't already expecting), they will mate and the now pregnant female will give birth to more rats. If unchecked, this could lead to a population explosion, and the end of your game.

The rendering system has been greatly optimised, making the "game" run smoothly at ~60fps. Other changes include sounds (from the FreeSound project), revamped tiles, adults moving half as fast as children, and the map being centred in the screen. Next release will hopefully see the introduction of gameplay!
