Bullet Time

Screenshot from the game, shows the player (the bullet) flying and dodging mario and his friends

Inspiration Our inspiration was the Mario game, but we wanted to put a unique spin on it by making the player the bullet.

What it does In Bullet Time, you play as a bullet dodging Mario and collecting coins to win. It's a side-scrolling game built using Pygame.

How we built it We custom designed the sprites and learned Pygame for the first time. We also set collisions, menus, sprites, animation, player stats, and maintained proper file names and conventions.

Challenges we ran into We had difficulty with collision detection and animation. We also had to learn how to use Pygame from scratch.

Accomplishments that we're proud of We're proud of creating a unique and nostalgic game that is challenging yet fun. We also custom-designed all the sprites and learned Pygame in a short amount of time.

What we learned We learned a lot about Pygame and game development in general, including setting collisions, menus, sprites, animation, player stats, and maintaining proper file names and conventions.

What's next for Bullet Time In the future, we plan to add more levels, enemies, and power-ups to make the game even more challenging and engaging for players. We also want to incorporate audio to enhance the gaming experience.

I worked on fixing bugs that were affecting the game. There was a bug causing obstacles and coins to spawn under and above the screen, making them difficult to reach. I identified the problem and adjusted the spawning code to ensure that the obstacles and coins would only spawn within a playable area of the screen.
Another bug prevented the player from taking damage when colliding with obstacles, which made the game much easier than intended. I found the source of the problem and modified the collision detection code to correctly apply damage to the player.

I developed all the game mechanics and designed the sprites and logic for the game. This involved creating the player and enemy movements, designing the levels and obstacles, and implementing the game's scoring system. I also created the graphics and animations for the game's characters and backgrounds. My main focus was on creating an engaging and challenging game that would appeal to players of all ages. My teammate properly reformatted the code and brought it up to coding standards, ensuring that the project was organized and easy to understand.
