Show HN: Write Code to Solve Minigames

2 points by andersource 4 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

Hi HN!

Codyssey is a small programming game where you write Python functions to solve minigames. Think pong, flappy bird - the functions serve as a control mechanism for the player.

It evolved from an end-of-year activity I made for an introduction to programming class for 9th graders, difficulty has been adjusted obviously. I ran it as a workshop / competition at several conferences, now considering making it available as a small game.

Some technical details: It runs python in the browser with Brython [0], I originally used Pyodide but it was too heavy for conference WiFis. Code editor is Ace [1].

I'd love to hear your feedback :)
