Wild Campers

We have created a hero defence game with some tower defence features. You play as a man who went camping. But the nature is unpredictable.

You have to gather resources to craft weapons and build barricades and towers.

You can expand your party by gaining xp and building more tents.

It's the never ending danger concept.

But you still can lose tho.


I used python 3.8.8

Living With

The simpliest game you will see in this competition, the graphics are bad, but I hope the message is good enough for everyone to understand and enjoy. This game is about me. But can be anyone, even you. 

What it have to do with the theme "neverending"? Well, you should play and see for yourself. Maybe you won't understand it, maybe you will, maybe you will need to play multiple times until you see it... But what matters to me is that I was capable of finishing it. 

I'll try to improve the game in the future, make better graphics and more activities... so if you liked it, follow me to see more :) 

If you played it, thanks a lot! :)

Endless Horizon

I wanted to give the player a sense of infinity, boredom, and at the same time give an incentive to persevere to the end.
I was planning to add activities that could kill a fisherman, and only the player could protect him.
This would require the player to sit in front of the computer for an equal hour (infinity, for most of us) to protect the hero so he could land.

Unfortunately I had only something like 2 days in total to make a game. So its more POC, than a game.
Still, I think this demo has positive vibe and is worth single play.

Keypad Racer

The racetrack loops: it is neverending.

A turn-based racing game; recreation of a pen-and-paper game I enjoyed back at school.

It supports multiple players sharing a keyboard. Bring your friends and have fun!

Install: 
python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
Run:
python game.py
There's a tutorial, but it doesn't tell you about the title screen:
  • When holding a button with the mouse, press a key to change the keyboard mapping.
  • Press a player key to pick a color.

The Neverending Quest

In the Neverending Quest you are a knight tasked to reach the end of the world which doesn't exist since the world is infinite.

The game is a platformer with randomly generated levels. With enemies which you can fight, NPC's which give you quests, and various powerups the game is very fun to play!

To get to the end of the level you must find the castle and go inside of it. There can be 1 or 2 castles around the map so good luck finding it!

Info:
Requires Python 3.9+ and Pygame 2+. 
To run the game run main.py.

Everglide

Everglide


Everglide is a 2D game in which you command a plane with almost no fuel. Your goal is to go as far as you can on the map, which never ends. You can collect coin to buy better planes. Also, you can collect some fuel on your way to the new record to help you stay in the air.

I tried to make the gameplay as simple as possible. Just press two arrow keys to go up or down with your plane, and press space to boost it. That's all.

CAUTION : please use the folder "everglide" contained inside the zip file. Unfortunately, some files have been mistakenly added to the root of the zip ; just discard them !

IMPORTANT:

If you wish to download and run the game from the source, please download the source code zip file, open the Godot project (instructions in README.md), go to the AssetLib tab, and download and install the "PythonScript" (not "PythonScript-Pypy") addon. After installing the addon, restart Godot and reopen the project and you're good to go.

If you get any dependency errors on opening the project before installing the addon just hit "Close".

The addon was not included with the source because of codesigning issues on multiple machines.

Box Adventures

Its a game which does infinite terrain generation, the player has no specific objective in the game you can try reaching the world border.


# Features:

+ block breaking

+ loadable chunks

+ terrain generation

+ 4 biomes


# Contributions

+ BeautifulReques: Terrain generation, optimisation, graphics, chunk class

+ aph: graphics, block class

+ redish2098: music, item class

+ Vthechamp: bug fixing and re-assesing the code

+ SReaperz: block breaking, player class, inventory, camera, entity class

+ jack_sparrow: start screen


# BUGS

+ While in unloading chunks it gives error leading the game to crashing, reason when we break a block it doesn't removes the block from the loaded chunk in the list, didn't had time to solve this. Also a physical fix is that increasing the `VISIBLE_RANGE_MAX` and `VISIBLE_RANGE_MIN` in config.py


# How to Run

after installing the libs in `requirments.txt` do `python src/game.py` and please use the latest python version

Lil Miss Vampire

A world that scrolls infinitely in any direction, an RPG-like UI, and simple, real-time fighting.


World view

Battle view


My younger kids and I built this entry for PyWeek 32 based on the theme "Neverending".

The key innovations are:

  • It has a neverending world. As the player walks along, it picks up tiles and places new ones invisibly. It uses an LRUDict to remember the last million tiles you've seen. This matches real life in that if you go back to a place after 20 years, it'll look different than when you first saw it.
  • The user interface was inspired by Super Mario RPG, but the fighting mechanics are purposely realtime. It's a lot like if you were playing Street Fighter, but all you were allowed to do was use a fast punch, a slow punch, or block. It's a little bit like roshambo.

The gameplay:

  • As you know, the life of a vampire is neverending. Hence, Lil Miss Vampire can never die. Her goal is the same as every vampire's goal: to grow in strength, which she does by vanquishing enemies.
  • As she gets further away from the origin, the enemies get harder. As she gains in strength, her attacks get stronger. If you just walk around, you slowly lose strength.
  • Walk around by using the arrow keys. When you're in a battle, there are instructions on the screen.
  • There's a fun dynamic where you can get a hint as to what the opponent is going to throw at you, so you can try to counter it. Both attacks and blocks have a cool-down period during which you are vulnerable.
  • If, for some reason, you can't move in the beginning, just restart the game.

The code:

  • The code is pretty pleasant. I made use of lots of new features in the latest Python, and I built a pretty decent developer experience.
  • It's built on the excellent arcade library which has exceptionally good documentation, tutorials, and examples.
  • I used type annotations everywhere, and I enforced them via mypy. I made extensive use of `typing.NamedTuple` which gives it a nice, immutable, well-typed flavor.
  • I used black to format the code during check-in.
  • There are extensive unit tests for the models. And there are git hooks to keep everything sane.
  • Running `make iterate` will reformat the code, run mypy to enforce types, run the unit tests, and then launch the game.

Development:

  • I built the game with two of my kids, Giovanni and Greggory.
  • I walked them through building some of the initial screen elements. Then, I built all the hard parts like the `Geography` class and `TimedWorkflowExample`.

Limitations:

  • Obviously, it would have been better with some custom artwork, some sounds, and a lot more animations.
  • Note that the arcade library requires OpenGL 3.3 and thus won't currently run on a Raspberry Pi.

Setup:

Install Python 3.9.7. I used pyenv on a Mac, but you can do whatever suits you:

brew update && brew upgrade
pyenvpyenv install 3.9.7
# Restarted my shell.

Setup a virtualenv using the right version of Python. I used pyenv, but that's optional:

pyenv global 3.9.7
python --version
python -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/pyweek32-neverending
pyenv global system
python --version

Go to where you uncompressed the code and install requirements:

unzip pyweek32-neverending.zip
cd pyweek32-neverending
. ~/.virtualenvs/pyweek32-neverending/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running:

. ~/.virtualenvs/pyweek32-neverending/bin/activate
./run_game.py

Developing:

git clone https://github.com/jjinux/pyweek32-neverending.git
cd pyweek32-neverending
. ~/.virtualenvs/pyweek32-neverending/bin/activate
make help
make setup_githooks
make iterate

Cowboys vs Pirates

A bunch of deluded individuals who think for some reason they can complete a game this year despite their efforts in previous competitions.

An absolutely illogical, chaotic Pyweek game created by the 'Lukewarm Strawberries' -> scott, jttofu, jnruan, thatsokay

What started with a discussion about trains ended up becoming a joke about trains fighting pirate ships... which ended up becoming this. We hope you enjoy this small game of ours and it amuses someone other than us. May your scores be high in this neverending battle. Share your high scores if you like :)

Be sure to check the readme file to find out how to play this game!

Temporal Anomaly

When Captain Aurora Stars arrives on a derelict science ship, she finds herself trapped in a never-ending time loop: Can she use her knowledge of the loop to defeat her arch-nemesis, save the day and escape?


Requires: Python Arcade, Pygame and Pymunk

(tested on Arcade 2.5.5, pygame 1.96 and pymunk 6.0.0: should be OK on other versions? :) )

pip install arcade pygame pymunk

Version 2 (Final Game) includes a bug-fix for panel text not rendering correctly on all systems.

Game playing notes:

  • Once in-game, press ESC to pause and see both controls and any in-game notes: if you get stuck, the notes should tell you both what you need to do next and any crucial information you might have mis-heard or forgotten.
  • I've experienced a few issues with Arcade/user input latencies with a macbook trackpad, but seems to be no problems with the mouse: so suggest you use a mouse if you have a similar issue!

Woundabout

Please play and rate v2 if you are using pygame 2.0+. v1 has a bug (thanks to mauve for reporting it!) that causes some game objects to not appear in pygame 2.0. Other than the bugfix the gameplay is identical between versions, so if you're on pygame 1.9 then v1 should be fine too.

Snake-like action game about eating your own tail. Control with keyboard. I recommend completing Adventure mode, it's basically a tutorial, and should take about 15 minutes. Endless mode is much harder after a few stages, and you should feel free to judge the game without trying it. Press Esc in the game for options and help, and check out the README for strategy tips. Thanks for trying it out!

How it fits the theme: This game's central mechanic is inspired by the ouroboros, a symbol representing infinity and eternity.

Aaaaaa! Make It Stop!

The neverending game of political intrigue. Something or someone has sabotaged the collective intelligence of humanity, causing a temporal anomaly. As our hero, stuck in an infinite time loop where past, present, and future collide, point and click your way through the repeating day to find the key to unlock the mystery of the evil, defeat your foes, shatter the temporal anomaly and, most importantly, Make It Stop!

Fable Loop

Description

The game is quite difficult, but it has a great ending, so it is worth playing.

The game lacks music, I didn't have time to find the right music.

Characters have cool assets, but floor walls and others don't.


Game Play

You can see a game paly of my game here: YouTube Video


Requirements:

It was only tested on two computers (Windows)

Python 3.7.3 and pygame 2.0.0

Python 3.9.1 and pygame 2.0.1


How to Play

At first, you can change the hero's name, just delete the name and write your own. To advance press Enter in the menu. You can also see the name of the villain and the name of the fallen heroes.


Move to the left: 'a' key or Left arrow

Move to the right: 'd' key or Right arrow

Jump: 'w' key or Up arrow

Attack: Space

Interact: 'e' key


You can interact with the king, princess, stairs (white rectangle) and levers (white square)

The king and princess will speak to you. Press 'e' for the next dialog box.

Levers can activate doors or stairs.

Stairs make it easy to go Up or Down.


If the hero dies, all the changes he made, such as opening the door, will not go away.

If the game gets too difficult, you can press 'v' and that will give you 100 in life.


Assets:

Hero

King

Princess

Skeleton
