A downloadable game

This is my endless runner for my term 1 assessment.

In this game, you play as a chicken, trying to escape a farm. The farm is a horrible and wretched place, so you set out on an adventure to escape.  You must travel over various cacti, in all shapes and sizes. They are in different locations each time. Don't touch the cacti or your journey will end. You will be granted a second chance but will start from the beginning. 

It features the following mechanics:

  • Jumping physics
  • Scrolling background
  • Obstacles
  • Obstacle detection
  • Score system
  • Random obstacle spacing
  • Random obstacle size
  • Game over screen

HOW TO PLAY:

1. Install python at https://www.python.org/downloads/ (Make sure to get the latest version, current latest version is 3.12)

2. Check the box in the installer "Add Python 3.12 to PATH"

3. Click the top option, normal install.

4. Open command prompt(Windows), or Terminal(Mac).

5. Type 'python --version' into the prompt, to check you have installed Python correctly. (You should see something like 'Python 3.12.2')

6. Download the zip folder below(The game file)

7. Extract the zip folder to downloads.

8. To start Endless Runner, open your command line and change the directory to where you've extracted the game files. You can do this with the `cd` command, followed by the path to your game directory.

E.g. cd C: \Users\chace\Downloads\Chicken runner

9. Start the game by using this command: 'pgzrun ChickenRunner.py'

10. Enjoy!
