Ice N Fire

Welcome to Ice N Fire, a captivating multiplayer game developed using Python and the Pygame library. This game showcases my game design and programming skills through custom animations, an intuitive user input system, and an object-oriented approach. Experience the thrill of strategic gameplay, where choosing between ice and fire powers determines your fate.

Key Features

• Game Development: Developed using Python and Pygame, highlighting game design and programming skills.
• Custom Animations: Designed and implemented animations to enhance visual appeal and interactivity.
• User Input System: Intuitive input system for smoother and engaging interactions.
• Object-Oriented Approach: Utilized principles like inheritance and encapsulation for seamless gameplay and code organization.
• Creative Problem-Solving: Overcame Pygame limitations, showcasing creative technical problem-solving.

Game Rules

Players and Powers

• Multiplayer: 2 to 6 players.
• Choose Powers:
  • Ice Power: Initial health -10
  • Fire Power: Initial health 10
• Health Range: Between -10 and 10.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Rolling the Die: Players roll a die to get a number.
• Actions: With the number rolled, players can either:
  • Attack another player.
  • Heal themselves (health cannot exceed max health of 10).
• Health Dynamics:
  • Attacks move the target's health towards 0.
  • If health reaches 0, the player dies and loses the game.
  • Attacks are 1.5 times more effective against players with a different power (rounded down).

Example

• Player 1 (Ice) rolls a 4 and attacks Player 2 (Fire):
  • Damage: 4 * 1.5 = 6.
• Player 1 (Ice) rolls a 5 and attacks Player 2 (Fire):
  • Damage: 5 * 1.5 = 7 (7.5 rounded down).

Power Switching

• If attack damage exceeds the target's health, the target switches power and the remaining damage is applied as health.
• Example:
  • Player 1 (Ice) has health -3.
  • Player 2 (Ice) has health -5, rolls 4, and attacks Player 1.
  • Player 1 switches to Fire with health 1.

Winning the Game

• The last player alive wins.

Technologies Used

• Python: Core programming language.
• Pygame: Library for game development.
