+# cemetery crawler
+cemetery crawler is my submission for hack club's hackapet ysws. it's a small pixel-art arcade game that's set in the abandoned cemetery on a dimly lit night. my "pet" is a grim reaper present in the cemetery and the player is supposed to control him and **collect wandering souls** while **avoiding vengeful spirits.**
+<br><br>
+im still working on improving the game so it can reach a stage where its actually enjoyable for ppl but rn here's what the game should look like:
+
+![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f813879e-275c-46cc-b8be-7e59e7769748)
+<br>
+btw, setting up circuitpython on windows was a PAIN because there were so many installations that were all over the place + running the code on the vscode terminal just didn't work and we had to use windows powershell for a few steps and the command prompt for others.
+
+NOTE: this is still a wip because i accidentally created the game in pygame initially and am now switching over to circuitpython !!!
+
+## controls 
+- left – move left <br>
+- right – move right <br>
+- reap – swing scythe to collect souls & banish hostile spirits <br>
+
+## gameplay
+- view: third-person, side-scrolling cemetery (reaper in the center, background scrolls). 
+- game setting base: the cemetery scrolls infinitely, with obstacles like tombstones and fog patches to avoid. 
+- souls float across the screen—walk into them to collect. 
+- hostile spirits charge at you—use the reap button to dispel them before they hit! 
+- occasionally, a golden soul appears—catching it slows time or grants temporary invincibility. 
+- the game speeds up as time progresses, making dodging and reaping more challenging as you move up levels.
+
+## win/loss condition
+- win: high score based on the number of souls collected.
+- lose: if hit by hostile spirits too many times.
+
+## graphics
+the game has a low-res pixel art style and the pixel art for this was made with a combination of aseprite (windows) and resprite (android)
+- background: dark, misty cemetery with shifting weather.
+- reaper: small hooded figure seen from behind, scythe swinging in hand.
+- souls: wispy blue/white; golden for power-ups.
+- hostile spirits: red/purple glowing figures with sharp, jagged outlines.
+
+## credits
+used art from pinterest as inspo for the graveyard, the show [grimm](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1830617/) for the game idea & claude ai for debugging
