Like most developers I get sick of people asking for help with side projects. But as soon as my friend said "Llama Attack," I told him, "say no more." It also didn't hurt that he's awesome at Python and was building the backend.
Ate some pizza, drank some beer, and this monstrosity was born. Also credit where credit is due, this is a total rip off (in good fun) of Goat Attack. Think of it as Goat Attack for Llamas.
