Dodgy Space Game

• 

  Flying for my life

Inspiration

Galaga, Asteroids, General Sci-Fi shenanigans.

What it does

When the game boots up, you are presented with cute space graphics and chill tunes. You can use the 'W' and 'S' keys to move the space shuttle up and down to dodge the oncoming asteroids. The game ends when your HP falls to 0. There's a time stat displayed to indicate a score!

How we built it

We build this game entirely through python, and the pygames library. We drew our graphics on Krita, and imported them as pngs which we used as sprites, and collaborated through Git Hub.

Challenges we ran into

We originally tried to build the game on unity, but it hindered our collaboration, and was extremely heavy and difficult to collaborate on. We started from scratch in pygames, and still found some difficulty with collaboration, but it was much easier in comparison.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

None of us had built a game before. We are very proud that we got a working final product that could easily be expanded upon.

What we learned

How to use the pygame library and python in general. We also learned the basics of game development.

What's next for Dodgy Space Game

Display stats at the end of the game, fix the retry button so that you can retry after "game over", maybe add currency and a shop for cool little spaceship doodads or possibly upgrades.
