Inspiration

Our project is inspired by many single-player mobile games we've grown up with! We were interested in making a fresh game with cute graphics; and motivated by the desire to flee from Montreal's winter blues, we chose to incorporate spring-themed visuals!

What it does

Objectively speaking, it's useless. Very useless.

BUUUUT if you're interested in learning more about it... Bunny Crash is a single player keyboard game. Players must use the LEFT and RIGHT arrow keys to jump from wall to wall in order to dodge the eggs and avoid breaking them. The goal is to last as long as you can and have as little or as much fun as you can!

How we built it

We used Python's Pygame library to create the entire game. We have also made use of other software such as Photoshop to create and modify stock images used in our design.

Challenges we ran into

As this was the first time most of us had ever designed/made a game, challenges were inevitable. Initially, this simply involved learning how to use the Pygame library. As the hack progressed, and as our ambitions grew larger, we ran into some difficulty when trying to develop a "Restart" option to our game. We struggled with displaying the correct frames, but after reviewing our code and the Pygame documentation, we managed to figure out what went wrong and corrected our code.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to have successfully designed a fun game with stunning and attractive visuals. Our teamwork and collaboration has also been a point of pride; we delegated tasks as seemed fit and carried out healthy discussions as the hack progressed, always seeking to better our project.

What we learned

We have learned how to make use of the Pygame library's many functionalities (drawing, controlling events, movement of scrolling objects, etc.)

What's next for Bunny Crash

The next steps for Bunny Crash would be to refine the game mechanics (e.g.: more game mode selections) and to implement a more comprehensive game menu to help the player navigate. We would also like to develop an app/webpage for this game, so that players do not require to download Python locally in order to run the game. Furthermore, a multiplayer option could be explored. Friends could compete together to see who gets the highest score.
