Game logic requires rapid development, rapid iteration, and a solid understanding of what makes games fun to play. Applying languages like Python (and tools which use Python) to the problem yields higher output, fast turn around, and allows art and design team members as well as programmers to produce logic content. This talk describes the solutions developed for Kalisto USA's SpongeBob Squarepants project, which is being simultaneously developed for the Sony Playstation 2 and Nintendo GameCube.
