Inspiration
About to graduate from university and intimidated by the 'real world'? Want to relive the good old days? Global pandemic stopping you from enjoying campus?
University Simulator is here to help!
What it does
University Simulator captures some of the most quintessential experiences of uni; scanning bus tickets, last minute coursework, struggling to find books in the library, trying to get a meal deal before fresh runs out, and dancing to Mr Wrightside at the SU.
How we built it
University Simulator is built using Pygame, along with pictures & ambient noise taken around the university.
Challenges we ran into
None of us had used Pygame before, so learning how the engine worked was slow at first. For example, multi-line text was a struggle as Pygame doesn't provide any inbuilt multi-line textboxes.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Getting 5 minigames completed, getting some nice-looking graphics, and generally having a working game (unless disaster happens in the next 15 minutes).
What we learned
There's probably a better way to have made a game than using Pygame.
