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!

Welcome!

This is a quail's nest. A very rabid quail. This blog serves to document my projects and my slow descent into insanity. If you're into that kinda stuff, you could follow, but honestly, why would you want to?

E.D.D.I.E Glasses

Say hello to Frankie. He doesn't do much. Yeah. I kinda realized how I never ended up naming the project. I wanted something like EDITH, but I wanted it to be different enough to feel like its own thing. So we're gonna stick with EDDIE for now. As always, I have some new plans in mind for the project. That's the thing with us procrastinators, we're really good dreamers, but when it comes to execution, we rarely give our full 100% effort. On a side note, Tim Urban has really good posts on the topic of procrastination over on his blog Wait but Why which you should check out if you've got some free time and want to have a good laugh at people like me. Tim Urban's Ted Talk Ok so, in my first post, I mentioned how I was basically trying to recreate a project from one of Jlaser's videos.  I also kinda made fun of myself in my earlier post for basically copying most of my projects from other people's existing projects. As I've gotten slightly more experien...

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...
