Code

I created this game after reading the book of Irv Kalb on Object-Oriented programming.¹ Some parts of the code in this game are very much influenced by the code of Irv Kalb, particularly the code relating to Scenes' creation and management (you can find the original code at pyghelpers) and the code for the construction of text buttons (the original code can be found in pygwidgets)

Assets

• Avatar monsters are designed by Freepik
• Avatar animals are designed by katemangostar on Freepik
• All the other assets such as buttons were designed by me using Inkscape
