Inspiration

The game "Snake" was a big inspiration for this project.

Introduction

You control a car that collects gas cans that represents numbers. You also control whether you add or subtract the numerical value of the gas can to the current total. The goal is to reach the target number and score points while dodging the police cars and traffic cones that spawn as you progress.

Tech Stack

We built our project using a Python library called pygame.

Challenges

We experienced trouble scaling the project and adding new features after building the foundation for its functionality. We also had trouble moving components of the game from the main file to their own class file.

Accomplishments

We're proud of the random generating mechanic we added to increase pressure while doing the simple arithmetic and the music that plays during the main screen, game loop, and car crash.

What We Learned?

We learned a lot about how to use the pygame library. We also strengthened our experience working in a team, dividing tasks, and resolving merge conflicts.

What's Next?

Velocity Math will have more features in the future, including Multiplication/Division operations, a more complex UI for our Main Menu, and a more optimized level generation algorithm.
