Counting stars

Devlog #4

I haven’t made much progress today – but i made huge changes..!!

I made a json file to store the upgrades and integrated it with the game.

I will soon add other upgrades here in json and as well as in the game.

The game is kinda working rn..!! Let’s see!!!!

So, Today

I just completely changed the idea of the game – making this game as a tycoon

Like, we have to click to count the stars and using the count as currency we can upgrade the count speed as well as hire auto-counters..!!

I quickly setted up the click counter with time-interval and also, upgrades that reduces the time-interval between each click.

This doesn’t took me a long – but before that, i invested a lot in previous game idea and quickly changing everything kinda took long

Devlog #3

Today, i added some upgrades to this game like,

• Increasing the click radius
• Drag and count ability

Still, i didn’t polish the game cuz, i am focusing on adding the basic game logic and after that, at final, i would polish the game

Basically, this game is about counting stars – you got to click on them and count (They would disappear once clicked – Maybe i would change that) but the stars might randomly appear too..!! It’s really hard to click on each stars by our own – therefore, there’s upgrade to increase the radius on which the stars can be counted..!!
Also, i planned a drag and count ability – when activated we can drag as long as given time and count those stars.

Devlog #2

In this 32m, I focused on implementing spawning of Stars and disappearing when clicked with Mouse..!!

I also made the Count to be updated

This looks kinda messy but i will polish it soon!

Todo:

• Add Upgrades mechanism (Prototype)
• Frame the story for the game

I will focus on the MVP at first and after that, i will move on to refining the game.

In this 45m, I started the pygame project – Added the screen, bg color and then i made a sprite group for the stars. I randomized the star’s position and appended it into the screen. I didn’t use normal list for storing the stars but instead i used the group() function in pygame

The motive of the game is to count the stars – so i need more stars – if that’s the case, i would end up facing a problem – checking the position of each star and mouse click to make it as one count.

I got to figure it out soon..!!
