Inspiration

There are still people in the world that do not know about the coronavirus very well, so this is the main reason why we built this project.

What it does

This project is a short game that is meant to be fun. It has small concepts that relate to the current situation in the real world.

How we built it

We built this game using python's tkinter module, which allows us to make graphics for the game.

Challenges we ran into

One big challenge was the huge lag that was starting to form. This was caused by inefficient if statements. It was fixed after optimizing the code and making it as efficient as possible.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

An accomplishment that we are proud of is the spray feature. This is meant to be a disinfectant. Making this feature was very difficult because the code would pause without us wanting it to. In the end, it works perfectly and helps to teach about defense against the virus.

What we learned

We learned that games need to have efficient code, or else it will be very difficult to play. We also learned that the user interface has to be very well designed, because that way people will want to keep playing the game after a good first impression.

What's next for Coronavirus Dodger

Our plans for the project include adding more features that resemble real life, such as masks and vaccines. This will also help to educate people about defense against the virus.
