Inspiration
The simple Pou game where you take care of a creature and it reacts to health, food and hygiene being low or high. It also has mini-games where you earn money similar to our one where you gain food for the plant.
What it does
Aopcalyptic Petal is a game including a simple mini-game (connect 4) which is played against an AI. The main goal of the game is to keep your plant alive which can be done either by keeping all the bars of the plant in the "good" region or by getting and applying food pellets which can be earned when winning the mini-game.
How we built it
We used python (the logic behind the AI and framework of the game) and pygame (to display the game in a dynamic way). The AI used was built using basic logic where the AI will block any attempts where the user is one step away from winning, apart from that the decision of where to place is random.
Challenges we ran into
The AI mini-game was not compliant with pygame and had to have different screen which opens instead of the screen changing completely. We also had trouble with the bars as initially they did not want to work when they were all too high.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
What we learned
Pygame as none of us had knowledge of it previously as well as pixel art.
What's next for Apocalyptic Petals
Develop so that the mini-game runs when a button is pressed and so that when there is a win, the
