The Scam Game

Sneak peek!

I finally named it.
And it's glorious.

Well, I kinda retraced my steps. I know I said I was going to make a quiz thing, but that felt lame, so I made a full-blown game instead. Granted, it's a VERY rudimentary concept, but hey, a game's a game.

The game retains almost all my previous ideas. The user scrolls through a couple of emails and decides whether they're scams or not. If it's a scam, they trash it, or they let it pass and scroll over. At the end of the list of emails, the player is informed of the time they took, the number of times they were scammed, and the number of genuine emails they deleted.

I created the game using pygame and had my friend create the emails for the game. 

As for the networking capabilities idea, I'm still not there yet. I'll probably try to do something with that in the future.

And NOW, for the bad news. My initial plan was to export the game as an executable file so that it's completely portable. I might've tried to embed the exe file in this blog somehow or something. 

Buuuuuuuuut..................I can't get a proper working exe file. I've tried almost everything, and nothing has worked. It might be a hardware problem, or it might be a software issue. God knows this laptop has been maimed in my hands. Turns out I'm not only destructive in real life, but also in my computing habits. 

So....yeah. I was going to do a post announcing the game, but I got nothing right now. There are a few features I haven't mentioned yet, but I wanna keep those a surprise for when the game is available to you.



So yeah, this post is kinda useless. I just successfully wasted 2 minutes of your life. Congratulations!

This is a different type of Django. The hardest part of writing these blog posts is deciding the picture to go along with them. You know what's the fun part? Creating labels. I discovered Blogger allows you to categorize posts using labels and I've been using them vehemently ever since. I'm a sucker for alliteration, and using it on creating labels is by far the best thing Blogger offers. It was probably a bad idea to create this blog using Blogger. Now don't get me wrong, I love the innate simplicity of Blogger, and this thing isn't supposed to be professional anyway, but Blogger is so old that people don't realize that blogs can be followed to get updates on new posts. Even I didn't know that until like a month ago.  But I guess the purpose of this blog isn't to attract followers, it's to give me a platform to document developments on my ever-expanding list of incomplete projects. What new thing do I have now? Well, I got interested in web developm...

CHEAT!

I literally have no idea where this picture is from. Hello, hello, hello and welcome to CHEAT! , the only game show where you're rewarded for cheating! I tried doing a gameshow host impression but since I don't watch any TV, I have no idea how gameshow hosts act. Okay so yeah. Not really a game show, but I did come up with an idea for a verbal game. Before I get into the specifics on how the game is played, it's better to define some terms first. Host - This is kinda self-explanatory. The host is the one who'll be asking questions. Except for this time, the host isn't permanent. Every round the host changes. Players - Players. Nothing else to it. Candidate - The player who is being questioned by the host. The way the game works is that a player is selected to be the host. This can be completely random, or it can be turn-based, that part's up to you.  Once the host is selected, he/she now has to think of a topic or an activity in which it would be difficult and/o...

Python : The Game

Well, it finally happened. I finished a project for the first time in my life. I never thought this day would come. I have so many people to thank. First and foremost, Frankie, with his soulless eyes, kept pushing me to achieve far and beyond.    That's the look of utmost happiness The Python Snake game project was my Grade 10 Final Project submission. Back then it was just a rudimentary shell of what it is today. It only implemented the single-player mode of the game, and it didn't have any of the bells and whistles it does today.  So here's my final post on this topic. Initially, I didn't plan on working on this project. I didn't feel like creating a game for the second time and decided I wanted to do something with a real-world value.  My plan was to expand on the idea of the COVID Calculator I had mentioned in one of my previous posts. With all this stuff going on in the world right now, what could get more 'real-world' than a program that predicts the ...
