Late to the Game

The Black Box
A downloadable game

I just found out about this the other day so I only had a day to work on it.  I tried to describe the details of the game in the description, but the current state doesn't reflect idea quite yet.  I play tested this with my kids and they liked the idea even though it isn't very challenging yet.  I would appreciate any feedback about the idea or gameplay that you think would make it more interesting or engaging.

The goal for me to do this project was too learn PyGame, which is completely new to me. So far:

  • Setup a game framework using OOP
  • Learned how to load images and convert them properly
  • Learned about text input in PyGame (Fonts, Key Events, Cursors, Rendering, Storing keystrokes as input)
  • Rendering the screen which can be done in a few different ways.
  • using multiple surfaces.

I still need to work on the inventory system, and the animations, which are easy in concept to get to the point where I would call this a MVP.  It is a good learning experience so far though.
