Inspiration
I love playing platformer games on CoolMathGames, so I decided to make my own with Python! I was also inspired by the Civilian Conservation Corps from FDR's New Deal.
What it does
Our project is a platformer game that has the player collecting trash throughout each level. If they collect all the trash from all the levels, they might get a cool surprise....
How we built it
We used the Pygame module from Python to build our game, and we used Github to collaborate. We also used the Tiled level editor to create the levels.
Challenges we ran into
It was quite difficult finding all the sprites and images online, since we needed specific dimensions and pixelated assets for our game, but we barely managed to find all the necessary assets. We also had a lot of trouble with files, as we had three different computers and it was difficult to have all the files in one place.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of the large levels that we made and our immersive UI.
What we learned
We learned how to better collaborate and work together with Github, Pygame, and Tiled.
What's next for Crustacean Conservation Corps
Next, we will add more levels and a bigger incentive for the user to collect all the trash from all the levels. We will also improve the UI and hopefully upload the game onto itch.io.
