Moving Day!

Inspiration

We've moved a lot in our lives so this was something familiar & relatable we easily connected to the theme of organization. We thought it'd be a neat game to have the player organize their stuff as they pack for their big move to Antarctica!

What it does

The player is met with 4 levels of increasing difficulty where they must maneuver a box to organize specific items, avoid the items that are not in the given category, and watch out for the timer!

How we built it

We used Pycharm to code the project, specifically Pygame to bring the game to life. Pygame lets us work with user input (from their keyboard) to interact with the box and other objects.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was the manipulation of objects as we had to create multiple classes and find appropriate coordinates for each object.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of the ideas we kept coming up with to creatively improve the game. We were able to create a fun game to help the user engage in organization.

What we learned

We learned that making a game can be tedious in some areas, but also what a hackathon is like (as this is our first hackathon)!

What's next for Moving Day!

We couldn't incorporate all the ideas we came up with, but we hope with more time and experience, we'd implement features such as randomizing the categories for each level! We would also like to work with implementing different game modes and experimenting with platforms other than Pygame.

NOTE: MAKE SURE TO RUN THE FILE IN PYCHARM WITH PYGAME INSTALLED
