Inspiration
We took inspiration from the card game Dutch Blitz. Everyone in our group enjoys playing this game so we wanted to make a digital version of it that we could enjoy.
What it does
This is a fully functional single player PC version of Dutch Blitz. Instead of playing against other people, you play against 3 other AIs.
How we built it
Our game was created using the _ PyGame _ module in _ Python _ . We all worked together on the platform relp.it, a collaborative browser based IDE
Challenges we ran into
We faced the most difficulty with developing the AI. Currently, the AI will instantly play if it has a potential move, which leave the user no time to try to "beat" the AI. This leads to the game being more luck based rather than skill based. This is something that we can work on in the future. Another difficulty that we faced was with the movement of cards. The mechanics behind picking up a card and setting it down were more difficult to implement that what we initially thought.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our group is proud of developing a fully functional game within 24 hours. This was every member in our group's first or second hackathon, and the first large scale python project we have all worked on. We are also very proud of our user interface. Tyler was our dedicated graphic designer, and did a tremendous job creating the UI/UX.
What we learned
Our group learned a lot about how to use the PyGame module. None of us knew how to use the module before the project. We also learned how to implement game logic (input, processing, output) in new environment. Finally, we also continued to develop our teamwork and collaboration skills.
What's next for BlitzOn!
There are many possibilities for the future of BlitzOn! Some of our current plans are to implement a multiplayer functionality on a local network and the internet, create a tutorial for new players, create different levels for the AI, and add some background music. We're excited for what's in store for the future of BlitzOn!
We hope that you all will try the game out! Link to the GitHub is on this Devpost.
