Version

This is currently the first iteration of the game : v0.0

Design & Constraints

This game was developed in Python with pygame, thus you have to have this library and a few others installed.

If you don't have Python, no problem : the "Delegation.7z" file contains an automatic launcher called "main" that will install Python and the required packages and automatically launch the game. Here is my Fropbox link to download it : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/wnwsw14ycv8w0qkzhdxp7/Delegation.zip?rlkey=x4slfbzk9juo73tkwb9cx2boj&dl=0

The game has, for the moment, no graphic options, and is designed to run in a 1500x1000 window. So be sure to adapt your screen resolution to make it run.

Future developments

• A full screen option adapted to all resolutions
• A women and a men circuit. For the moment, all world records are set to men's ones, but in-game names can be whether men or women, so basically it is just a "humanity" record for now.
• Improve the graphics : this first version is graphically poor on purpose, its goal is just to illustrate the performances of your athletes and to show the concept of the game to everyone.
