Project Goal

The goal of this project was to build a sidescrolling platformer in python. I really wanted to try and build as much at possible without using outside source material to figure out common game development porblems on my own. In this way, I built the game object system, animation system, collision, and game state system without the pygame library!

Demo

Features

• - Graphics and custom animation system -> possible through the pixel adventure asset pack
• - Camera movement to allow for sidescrolling gameplay
• - Tile-based level editor -> compatible with the Tiled level editor
• - Custom game state management system -> allows for menu, pause, lose states and more!
• - Game object system with 6+ game object types and 25+ possible object propterties

Technologies

• - Game Engine -> built using the Pygame python game engine
• - Map Parser -> tile map parsing is done with the help of the PyTMX map loader library
