Running man

We started this project as a learning experience as none of us had prior experience programming in python or building a GUI. So we took this opportunity to enhance our knowledge by building something that we could enjoy playing. A crazy sides scroller game with wacky physics, a nice bouncy ball, and a non existent man who runs. This was a very enjoyable project that was eye opening (as in the fact that we did not sleep ;) ). Together we had an amazing time and got to build something we all are proud of. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do :) P.S. I dare you to beat my high score of 6 :p

What it does

The game tracks the progress of a rolling ball in a side-scrolling game.

How we built it

We built the game using Python.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into the challenge of trying to figure out how to translate what we knew in C++ into usable Python code.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are most proud of managing to learn enough of a whole new language to make a user-friendly game.

What we learned

We learned how to use Git in version control as well as combining it with Python and a user friendly GUI.

What's next for Running man

We would like to add sprite animations to the game with the main character appearing as an actual man, streamline our gravity function in the closed environment, add obstacles and enemies to the game, as well as integrate a moving background.
