Hopscotch Game

A Python-based clicking game built with Pygame where players click squares to earn points and unlock upgrades.

Game Features

Core Mechanics

• Click squares to earn points
• Score multipliers
• Additive power-ups
• Timer system
• Shop system
• Pause functionality

Game States

class GameState():
    def __init__(self):
        self.state = 'intro'

The game features three main states:

• Intro screen with scrolling background
• Main game with clicking mechanics
• Pause screen with resume option

Score System

• Basic clicks earn 1 point
• Multiplier upgrades increase points per click
• Additive upgrades give more time
• Shop system for purchasing upgrades

Timer System

seconds = int((pygame.time.get_ticks() - timer) / 1000)
myTimer = additivenum - seconds

• Dynamic timer that counts down
• Can be extended through upgrades
• Pauses during game pause

Custom Assets

All game assets were created from scratch using digital art tools.

Visual Elements

1. Square Assets

   • Regular square for clicking
   • Special square variations
   • Custom border designs

   square = pygame.image.load(r'assets/square.png')
   special_square = pygame.image.load(r'assets/special square.png')
   special_square_max = pygame.image.load(r'assets/special square max.png')

2. Cookie Assets

   • Regular cookie design
   • Special cookie variations

   cookie = pygame.image.load(r'assets/cookie.png')
   special_cookie = pygame.image.load(r'assets/special cookie.png')
   special_cookie_max = pygame.image.load(r'assets/special cookie max.png')

3. Interface Elements

   • Custom cursor
   • Shop buttons
   • Play/pause buttons

   cursor = pygame.image.load(r'assets/cursor.png')
   pause = pygame.image.load(r'assets/pause.png')
   play = pygame.image.load(r'assets/play.png')

4. Background Elements

   • Main game background
   • Scrolling intro background
   • Border designs

   bg = pygame.image.load(r'assets/backround.png')
   bg1 = pygame.image.load(r'assets/bg.png')
   border = pygame.image.load(r'assets/border.png')

Custom Fonts

• CompassPro for UI text
• MatchupPro for multiplier display

Compass = pygame.font.Font("assets/CompassPro.ttf", 32)
matchup = pygame.font.Font('assets/MatchupPro.ttf', 32)
