Inspiration

Thicc Snake was inspired by a combination of the original snake game where a snake attempts to eat various coins and Flappy Bird, as well as a dose of the creators' original thought.

What it does

In Thicc Snake, the player presses the mouse to increase the width of a rectangular snake as various obstacles and tokens pass by. The player must avoid the obstacles and eat the tokens. When the player releases the mouse, the snake's width decreases.

How we built it

We build Thicc Snake with Python and pygame. We used Piskel and Affinity Designer to design sprites.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into numerous challenges when first getting accustomed to pygame as it is a new library that we had to familiarize ourselves with. Some of these challenges included understanding Surfaces and Rects in pygame, and implementing collisions between the snake and the obstacle/tokens.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we finished the game in time to submit, using a library which we both had to learn about on the spot. Additionally, we are proud of how the game sprites look.

What we learned

We learned how to use pygame to build a game, and also how to design sprites. We also learned a lot about using GitHub and Git commands.

What's next for Thicc Snake

We plan to go mobile, and we are currently looking for fundraising.
