PyWeek — March 2023 — In the shadows

Shadeshaper

Hey all! This is my first time developing in pyweek, and my first time using pygame. I hope to learn a lot and have fun while I'm at it. Good luck to all participants!

Going Solo

Here to learn by experience and have fun. Never done this before. It shall be Fun.

Entrant: stonedturtle

I've always been interested in game development and I'm excited to participate in the upcoming Pyweek Game Jam. I'll be participating solo but I'm also open to teaming up with others who share the same passion for game development.

I have experience with Python and have been working on some projects on my own. I'm looking forward to collaborating and creating something amazing together. If you're interested in teaming up, feel free to reach out to me.

Let's make something great!

Tetris in Ohio

Tetris_in_ohio_yGaImoS.zip — V2

Heyyy! Everyone. I only got a couple of days this time :(
Anyways the game is complete heres a video

Please view README.md for proper formatting. I am `BeautifulRequest` on pydis-server and `Ibrahim2750mi` on arcade server.

## How to run
Theres no addditional dependancies other than arcade. Supports python3.8-11. Although if you want to use run the `dev_tools` directory make sure to keep it below python3.10 due to a limitation with PyAudio. The `dev_tools` is not used by the game itself but was used by me to handle the assets.
$ pip install arcade==3.0.0.dev18 || pip install -r requirements.txt
There are two parameters you can pass to run the game i.e debug and performance. Pass true for performance if you have a low end pc. Also don't cd into the source directory to run the game. $ python src/main.py # normal run $ python src/main.py true # debug run $ python src/main.py false true # performance run

## Production
+ The player has 6 animations -> (Death, Hurt, Idle, Jump, Push, Run) + Has two background music
+ Has a rainy effect for the loosing screen
+ Has a different music which for dying(the famous gregorian chant dies irae) which is coded by me see `src/dev_tools/generate_music.py`
+ Uses shaders for lighting effect

## Innovation
+ The game is an extract of the age old game Tetris, but instead of normally controlling the columns in which the boxes fall in you get a character which does that
+ Tetris in Ohio comes from the meme "Only in Ohio" which basically means things are different in Ohio, thus reflecting the concept of the game
+ Theres a backstory included in the game's `Story?` button, which co-relates with the theme
+ Dies Irae(literally means day of wrath in latin) the Gregorian Chant starts playing when you die, showing the extent of darkness

## Fun
Did you had fun playing it? I hope you did. The game contains meme references also hope you had a laugh.

## Bugs
+ Sometimes(rare) the player the gets stuck between two press 'R' to reset the player's position.

Robo Bake Gothenburg

Robo Bake Gothenburg Robot Pie

We're four students from Gothenburg, Sweden studying Python developement with a special focus on Artificial Inteligence. Our fifth member is our mascot, he likes pie(py)s, being generally cute, as well as world domination (just keep him well fed and he wont persue his ulterior motive).

This will be our first entry into PyWeek as well as game developement in general. We're all exited and curious to see what the theme is going to be. And to hopefully create something that is both fun and creative! (and if nothing some working runnable code)

Please cheer for in our struggle :D

GLHF everyone

Shadow Embiggener

Hello I am new to python and just seeing if I can make something up for this challenge =) I have only made one game before and it runs in console, for this I am dipping my toes into a proper game/graphics library with Arcade.

After day 1, I came up with the concept of collecting energy/radiation to make your shadow bigger. You want to embiggen it to a certain size to win! If your shadow gets hit by a shadow ray, or the time reaches zero, you lose!

After day 2, I decided to lean into SHMUP (shoot'em up) gameplay so the controls have been updated and now you shoot energy at the shadow rays to prevent them from hitting your shadow and making them smaller. Now your shadow just grows organically over time.

I need to work on better sprites and hit detection. I will change up the scoring/win/lose system a bit too to account for the new gameplay. Other than that, I think the rest of the week is just optimization which is good because I don't have as much time during the week as I did over the weekend :)

The Nubsters

Hey, hi, we're SockStar (SockYeh and Astar777). We both are inexperienced developers who know nothing except how to use the print function. You may be wondering why is our team's name is 'The Nubsters', right? So the answer to it is that we call ourselves nub (noob) and call the other person pro (professional). This is the origin of 'The Nubsters'.
