Breaking the Glass Ceiling

Title Screen
Main Board

Inspiration

In a group of all women, we wanted to do a hack that was centered around feminist ideals.

What it does

It is a game where you are a woman in an entry level position at a tech company, and you slowly earn promotions and gain respect in the workplace through completing programming assignments in the form of mini games to eventually work your way up to CEO.

How we built it

We built this using python and pygame

Challenges we ran into

We did not have time to make the mini games ourselves, and it was difficult to find enough code for them to make our game interesting.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to utilize our pygame skills, and we are excited that we were able to get a working model of our game.

What we learned

We learned about timers, gitHub, pygame, and object oriented python

What's next for Breaking the Glass Ceiling

We hope to program more mini games ourselves, and get the higher levels more bug free.

I spent most of my time developing the characters and writing the game script. I also spent a fair amount of time in the python code implementing this script

Alison G
I set up the code to set up the office we created on the screen and wrote code to deal will collisions with the the woman, the wall, and the men. I worked on creating specific conditions to occur when the collisions occur, such as increasing the score, and also integrated the mini games into the program.

Kate Baumstein
I created the avatars for each character, helped write the script for the game, created the men.py file/class and implemented the men sprite group. I worked with a team member to design the menu screen and personalized character screen. I found sample pygame codes online and recolored them for our mini games.

Theresa Gundel
I worked on creating the pygame interface and connecting the different mini games to the main one and on finding and inserting the images to decorate the office with.
