Inspiration

The inspiration for this game was a Minecraft video that was funny to me. Two friends where given a theme and they had to try and match a item given the whole inventory of items. The theme was connect, and I felt like that video was to connect on a mental level, or to click with your friend.

What it does

My game is meant to be played on one computer, because I feel like the theme is to bond and be close,thus connect. It presents a theme and four objects, where each player has to decide what to pick within a time frame (I set a 10 second timer, but even if a player surpasses the time, it brings you back to previous page so you have more time to think). After one player has picked, the game goes to a transition state, where you would give the computer to the other person. After both has picked an object, you are brought to a result transition state.

How I built it

I build the whole game in python (using Pygame). I created multi-pages game with the main functionality being buttons (It is rather simpler as I am kind of learning as I go). I had ChatGPT create a large set of themes and object lists

Challenges we ran into

I had a couple challenges that I ran into while coding including not giving a function parameters, which I had to spend a while until I figured it out. Another challenge is the multiple pages with transition pages (I wanted to do animation, but it would take too long). A notable issue I ran into is messing up my python install while trying to create an executable of my python file.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am kind of amazed at what I pulled off as a first time game-jammer (idk if that is a word). I am pretty happy with the way I structured my code and how the project looked in the end (though I could have made my code look more pretty; I did some pixel art :) ). I managed to added in changing texture for when you hover over button!

What I learned

I learned how multiple pages work and how to format them. I learned how to simplify my code to be reused. I learned that I am a bad designer T.T

What's next for Click!

I think I am going try and implement images for objects, a way to create and edit categories, and maybe sound? IDK, I might just go and attempt a cookie clicker clone for fun
