A fullscreen Python/Pygame soccer penalty shootout game with player scoring, goalkeeper movement, sound effects, and a simple game menu.
Pearland Soccer Craze is a simple fullscreen soccer penalty shootout game developed using Python and Pygame. The game allows a player to enter their name, take penalty kicks, compete against a randomly moving goalkeeper, and view the final score after five rounds.
In this game, the player takes penalty shots by choosing one of three directions:
- Left
- Center
- Right
The goalkeeper randomly chooses a direction to block the shot. If the player kicks in a different direction from the goalkeeper, the player scores a goal. If both choose the same direction, the goalkeeper saves the shot.
