Inspiration

This game aims to make the recycling project a little bit easier by teaching users in a unique and engaging way. The inspiration for the style comes from Game Boy titles like Earthbound and the original Pokemon games.

How I built it

I used the platform MakeCode Arcade, which makes it easy to insert your original pixel art for sprites. In addition, you can edit your project in VS code.

Challenges I ran into

Fixing numerous bugs, such as trash items spawning on top of the player. This caused the player to start with -25 points automatically!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of how much I could do in such a short time!

What I learned

Through the whole Technica experience, I learned that with persistence and a willingness to reach out for help, I can follow through on projects I originally felt uncomfortable with.

What's next for Recycle Run

There is also so much to add, such as new items, locations, and sorting minigames!
