Memorize

Inspiration

I thought about all the times I really didn't want to study, and how easily I forget things that I learned while bored. This game was made for the quackathon 2023 hackathon.

What it does

It's a game based on geometry dash that runs in the terminal. Whenever you get killed, it asks you a question from a CSV you input.

How I built it

I used the curses library in python to take inputs and render the game to the terminal, and I used the csv library to read the CSV file.

Challenges I ran into

The curses library is very difficult to use, and I had to learn it from scratch. The curses library also wasn't very stable, and I had to restart my terminal a few times. I have now made it safe.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I got something in that wasn't a buggy mess. I also got the game to run in the terminal, which is something I've never done before.

What I learned

I learned how to use the curses library, to render to the terminal. I also learned how to use the csv library to read CSV files.

What's next for Memorize

I may improve level generation and add more features like platforms.

How to run

1. Open your terminal
2. Install python 3.8 or higher
3. Run python3 main.py
4. Enjoy!
