TRACER
Maeve Fitzgerald
A 2-4 player arcade game with competetive and co-op game modes. Inspired by Asteroids, Pacman, and Tron.
How It's Made: Tracer
By Maeve Fitzgerald, 2nd year Computer Science student
Coded in python
Tracer was my first ever game, and my first Python project. Python is a great programming language for beginners, and you can learn more in CPS109 and for free in the Digitial Media Experience Lab (SLC308).
pygame
Pygame is a free code library for Python. It handled everything for me: detecting joysticks, loading the screen, all the graphics, key input, timing - everything that makes it a game!
jumping right in
Tracer didn't have much of a plan going in - it started as a copy of Asteroids! I accidentally made the bullets stay still when shot, and realized it left a trail when "shoot" is held down. I decided to make that a feature, and kept building from there!
