FlipOut!

Welcome to the FlipOut!'s wiki!

Author: Shreyas Iyer

Developed in: Python 2.7


FlipOut is a game I had developed for a hackathon I had participated in. I was given 10 hours to complete the project and give a demonstration, and so I developed FlipOut! FlipOut is an arcade game, with real (legit!) retro chiptunes, 8bit graphics(!) , and also the classic arcade font!

Making this game was really fun, and the concept of the game makes it addictive.


Controls:
So basically, you have to take control of the 'creeper', which flips about. You can change the direction of the flip by pressing "Space" bar in mid-air. The player is allowed to flip about the top and the ground layer, but if it collides with any other brick, you lose a life. Lose all the three lives, and the game is over!
There are numerous bricks with question marks on them, which on being collected get added up to your inventory, and give you special powers and more!

Installation Instructions:

  1. Download the repository as a .zip, and extract it on your system.

2) Now change your directory to the extracted folder, and then run the shell script 'bootstrap.sh', by saying:
`chmod +x bootstrap.sh`
`./bootstrap.sh`
3) Now, with the dependencies installed, you are good to go! Fire up the game by writing:
`python main.py`
