Inspiration
We love clicker games like Cookie Clicker, wanted to create a simple upgrading game in similar style.
What it does
Clicking is the name of the game! Click to mine, click to upgrade, click to fight!
How we built it
We used simple python to write the base of the code, and used AI to help create certain ascii art for backgrounds/characters.
Challenges we ran into
Sometimes the ascii art would move not how we wanted to, so we spent a lot of time that it was printed out correctly.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The Ascii art management was definitely the hardest, so we were proudest of what we were able to accomplish.
What we learned
If you're not used to it, ASCII art is pretty hard to work with. You have to account for whole lines if you want to move even one character, so movement/basic animation is always very difficult.
What's next for PixelPick
We want to push forward with the project. The mechanics are nice but could be made more fun with more options/upgrades. We also want to improve the art for a more interesting experience.
