Flappynaut

Our Protagonist !

Inspiration

The Flappynaughters, Jennifer and Letsy, were inspired to tackle a space-themed project after finding out that they both loved space. As a matter of fact, VenusHacks's theme was what persuaded them to join the Hackaton. After brainstorming through different project possibilities, the Flappynaughters decided to create a project inspired by FlappyBird, with a space-themed twist.

What it does

The gameplay is similar to FlappyBird. The player is an astronaut that floats up and down to avoid planet obstacles. After collecting 5 laptops, the player must fight against the Alien of the Patriarchy, who does nothing but say hurtful, mean, spiteful women stereotypes. It is up to you to put a STOP to his evil antics.

How we built it

Through blood, sweat, and tears via Python through the PyGame library.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge we ran into was the objects' hitboxes. The astronaut kept crashing into planets and causing a game over way too early.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The Flappynaughters added more to the game than they originally thought. This includes collectible laptops, a final boss theme, and an inspirational message.
