Maze Man RPG

A Pyxel game by Eli & son. A fork of MazeWalkGame by Hiekichi.

Overview

• A dot-eating maze game with JPRG style battles.
• Game created for programming learning with children

Build

Hey kids! Let's get the game running on your computer. Follow these fun steps:

1. First, make sure you have Python installed on your computer. Ask a grown-up if you need help!

2. Open a terminal or command prompt. It's like a special window where we can type magic commands!

3. Let's create a special playground for our game:

   python -m venv maze-game-world
   

4. Now let's step into our playground:

   • On Windows, type: maze-game-world\Scripts\activate
   • On Mac or Linux, type: source maze-game-world/bin/activate

5. Let's get the Pyxel game engine (it's what makes our game work):

   pip install pyxel
   

6. Time to play! Run the game with:

   python maze-man-rpg.py
   

7. If the game doesn't start, try:

   python3 maze-man-rpg.py
   

When you're done playing, you can exit our playground by typing deactivate in the terminal.

How to Play

• Avoid ghosts while eating dots.
• Controls: gamepad or keyboard.
• Only one level.
• Game over if your character gets caught (no extra lives).
• There are 4 types of enemies, each with different movement patterns.
