Cosmic Claw Crusade

Cosmic Claw Crusade

Inspiration

This was inspired by our own experiences with the Space Invaders game that everyone had played back in the day. We thought how we can bring it to life here by adding some new twists.

What it does

This game allows two players to battle each other in a fast-paced race to see who gets the most points in taking out the aliens! Then, after all aliens have died, the players must battle each other directly to win the game.

How we built it

We built it with Python 3.10 and Pygame 2.2.0.

Challenges we ran into

Debugging and making sure graphics work properly and cleanly was sometimes an issue. Seeing errors pop-up when straightforward code is used can be tedious to handle.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we actually got to adapt a fun game to something completely new and how we are able to make this quite aesthetically pleasing. Often times programming projects neglect appearance over functionality but here we are proud that we made this visual spectacle!

What we learned

One thing that we learned that even though we are using simple technologies to create our projects, there still is much work to be done especially in the debugging side of things.
