SyntaxError2024

This is a simple game project of team "AI ki waifu" for the hackathon Syntax Error 2024 organized by the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee. We built a simple building defence game in pygame and an Arduino Uno R3 based controller for the game.

This is a Python-based game built using Pygame and PySerial, featuring randomly generated terrain and A* (A-Star) pathfinding.

Features

• Randomly Generated Terrain: Each game session generates a new map with random obstacles, ensuring that gameplay remains dynamic. It generates stones, ponds and plains at randomly, while at the same time ensures that the centre area has always some play area.
• Made a custom textures for terrain.
• A Pathfinding Algorithm:* Enemies use the A* algorithm to find the shortest path to the centre, navigating around obstacles.
• Guaranteed Path: The game guarantees that enemies always reach the centre using intelligent pathfinding, ensuring the game remains fair and functional.
• PySerial Integration: Game logic utilizes PySerial, enabling potential interactions with a custom-made Arduino Uno R3 Controller.
