Midterm Progress

For my midterm, I got inspired by one of my favorite childhood games – “Fireboy and Watergirl.” It is an arcade game with two players where characters need to reach the portal avoiding obstacles and collecting diamonds.

I want to draw the sprite sheet for characters myself and make them representatives of other elements. I began the drawing process using Krita software, but it is not ready yet.

For now, I have decided to begin with the instruction screen, game screen, play again screen, and how to navigate through them. For this, I used If statements and the variable “state.” This tutorial was extremely helpful.

I also implemented a timer so how much time left is displayed on the screen. I want to make time left more visually appealing so it won’t be just a text. When time is up, the game is over.

I also added images as backgrounds.

You can see how it looks like here:
