"Cancel culture or a call-out culture is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles." - Wikipedia

Inspiration

This game was inspired by the recent trend of "cancellation" on Twitter. The aim of the game is to avoid being cancelled by evading an endless stream of dislikes.

People are always running after Twitter handles, it’s time they start running away from them!

What it does

The premise of the game is to avoid getting hit and survive as long as possible. The map is generated using data from Twitter, and each of the trending tweets in the UK is represented.

How we built it

We built the game using python and the pygame and tweepy libraries. For sampling the distribution of our points we used a prewritten module to obtain poisson disk sampling.

Challenges we ran into

Pygame is a very basic module, so we ended up having to create a lot of basic features from scratch.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The game plays!

What we learned

We learnt that python is probably not the most suitable language for game development - next time we will probably use a language like C#

What's next for ICHack22

Survive getting cancelled until next year!
