Downwell Creator's New Game Poinpy Is Available Now
The creator of Downwell, Ojiro Fumoto, surprised everyone today by revealing and releasing their new game, Poinpy, on Netflix's mobile gaming platform. The game is published by Devolver on Netflix's growing gaming platform and is available by searching for the game in the dedicated gaming section in Netflix's streaming app.
GET FRUITS MAKE JUICE FEED THE HUNGRY BEAST! POINPY is available NOW on Netflix Games! You can play the game on iOS / Android if you have a Netflix account!?https://t.co/tQ3ei0CSKRpic.twitter.com/kTzTBx5tOS
In Downwell you progressively make your way down a well (hence the title), but in Poinpy, you make your way up. You are a little creature that must leap and climb upward while dodging bad guys and outrunning a giant blue beast on the bottom of the screen. You also feed the blue beast various collected fruits to calm them while making your way upward. The game is included with your standard Netflix subscription and features no microtransations or ads.
Downwell was released in 2015 for mobile devices and has been ported to various platforms in the interim. Poinpy's surprise release marks nearly seven years since Fumoto released an original game. Following Downwell's release Fumoto took a job at Nintendo and worked on Ringfit Adventure. They left in 2019 writing on Twitter, "I was working at Nintendo for most of 2018 but I quit at the end of the year to pursue being an indie dev again. Working there was an incredible experience but ultimately I found my passion to simply be making a thing I want to make. So yeah, I'll get working on that this year!" Fumoto also has a special thanks credit in Spelunky 2 where they apparently provided a voice.
Hello everyone, quick update to the minecraft server.
We are now on 1.19 with our main world updated. No need to generate a new world or start over.
Seems to have updated normally.
Few plugins are still awaiting updates. Most generally should work still:
Sleep-Most, Residence, Player-kits, Worlds, and more!
Add the following code to the top of each code snippet. This snippet will allow the code in this article to run error-free.
import logging
This allows us to log any error message that may occur when handling the files.
Method 1: Open Multiple Text Files with open()
This method opens multiple text files simultaneously on one line using the open() statement separated by the comma (,) character.
try: with open('orig_file.txt', 'r') as fp1, open('new_file.txt', 'w') as fp2: fp2.write(fp1.read())
except OSError as error: logging.error("This Error Occurred: %s", error)
This code snippet is wrapped in a try/except statement to catch errors. When this runs, it falls inside the try statement and executes as follows:
Opens two (2) text files on one line of code.
The file for reading, which contains a comma (,) character at the end to let Python know there is another file to open: open('orig_file.txt', 'r') as fp1
The second is for writing: open('new_file.txt', 'w') as fp2
Then, the entire contents of orig_file.txt writes to new_file.txt.
If an error occurs during the above process, the code falls to the except statement, which retrieves and outputs the error message to the terminal.
Note: The strip() function removes any trailing space characters. The newline character (\n) is added to place each iteration on its own line.
If successful, the contents of orig_file.txt and new_file.txt are identical.
Method 2: Open Files Across Multiple Lines with open() and Backslash (\)
Before Python version3.10, and in use today, opening multiple files on one line could be awkward. To circumvent this, use the backslash (\) character as shown below to place the open() statements on separate lines.
try: with open('orig_file.txt', 'r') as fp1, \ open('new_file3.txt', 'w') as fp2: fp2.write(fp1.read())
except OSError as error: logging.error("This Error Occurred: %s", error)
This code snippet is wrapped in a try/except statement to catch errors. When this runs, it falls inside the try statement and executes as follows:
Opens the first file using open('orig_file.txt', 'r') for reading and contains a backslash (\) character to let Python know there is another file to open.
Opens the second file using open('new_file.txt', 'w') for writing.
Then, the entire contents of orig_file.txt writes to new_file.txt.
If an error occurs during the above process, the code falls to the except statement, which retrieves and outputs the error message to the terminal.
Note: The strip() function removes any trailing space characters. The newline character (\n) is added to place each iteration on its own line.
If successful, the contents of orig_file.txt and new_file.txt are identical.
Method 3: Open Multiple Text Files using Parenthesized Context Managers and open()
In Python version 3.10, Parenthesized Context Managers were added. This fixes a bug found in version 3.9, which did not support the use of parentheses across multiple lines of code. How Pythonic!
Here’s how they look in a short example:
try: with ( open('orig_file.txt', 'r') as fp1, open('new_file.txt', 'w') as fp2 ): fp2.write(fp1.read())
except OSError as error: logging.error("This Error Occurred: %s", error)
This code snippet is wrapped in a try/except statement to catch errors. When this runs, it falls inside the try statement and executes as follows:
Declare the opening of with and the opening bracket (with ()).
Opens orig_file.txt (open('orig_file.txt', 'r') as fp1,) for reading with a comma (,) to let Python know to expect another file.
Open new_file.txt (open('new_file.txt', 'w') as fp2) for writing.
Closes the with statement by using ):.
Then, the entire contents of orig_file.txt writes to new_file.txt.
If an error occurs during the above process, the code falls to the except statement, which retrieves and outputs the error message to the terminal.
If successful, the contents of orig_file.txt and new_file.txt are identical.
Method 4: Open Multiple Text Files using the os library and open()
This method calls in the os library (import os) which provides functionality to work with the Operating System. Specifically, for this example, file and folder manipulation.
import os os.chdir('files')
filelist = os.listdir(os.getcwd()) for i in filelist: try: with open(i, 'r') as f: for line in f.readlines(): print(line) except OSError as error: print('error %s', error)
Note: In this example, two (2) files are read in and output to the terminal.
This code snippet imports the os library to access the required functions.
For this example, we have two (2) text files located in our files directory: file1.txt and file2.txt. To access and work with these files, we call os.chdir('files') to change to this folder (directory).
Next, we retrieve a list of all files residing in the current working directory (os.listdir(os.getcwd()) and save the results to filelist.
IF we output the contents of filelist to the terminal, we would have the following: a list of all files in the current working directory in a List format.
['file1.txt', 'file2.txt']
This code snippet is wrapped in a try/except statement to catch errors. When this runs, it falls inside the try statement and executes as follows:
Instantiates a for loop to traverse through each file in the List and does the following:
Opens the current file for reading.
Reads in this file one line at a time and output to the terminal.
If an error occurs during the above process, the code falls to the except statement, which retrieves and outputs the error message to the terminal.
Output
The contents of the two (2) files are:
Contents of File1. Contents of File2.
Summary
These four (4) methods of how to multiple files should give you enough information to select the best one for your coding requirements.
Good Luck & Happy Coding!

As part of Netflix Geeked Week, the streaming service has released a new clip from its upcoming Sonic Prime TV series. And if you can believe it, the Blue Bomber is still very much devoted to running very quickly and collecting rings.
Sonic Prime Season 1 will span 24 episodes. Netflix says the series will feature Sonic in a "high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands… Sonic's adventure is about more than a race to save the universe, it’s a journey of self-discovery and redemption." Deven Mack voices Sonic in Sonic Prime, and the series is expected to hit the streaming service sometime this year.
