A repository for our 2020 Github Game Off entry, Launch Party!
Launch Party is a multiplayer ship-programming game played via Twitch stream. Write some code, send it as a comment, and watch your ship take off! Everyone is racing to be the first to land on the moon.
Since it's a party game, it's recommended you play this game with three or more people. It's playable in any browser that supports Twitch, as well as on mobile with the Twitch app.
This game was made for the 2020 Github Game Off with the theme "Moonshot." All game programming, art, music, and sound design were completed within the one-month jam.
The entire game's source code is available in our Github repository. Feel free to use and distribute it in any way permitted by the MIT license.
If the game is already being hosted in a Twitch stream, you can just jump right in! Follow the instructions on screen and use the comments to play.
If you're looking to host your own stream, you can do one of the following:
If you have a Python 3.8.3 environment, you can use the following command to install PyGame via pip:
pip install pygame
If you have something other than pip set up to manage your libraries, then... you probably don't need directions for it.
To run the game, navigate to the src directory and run game.py.
If you don't have Python installed, or that last section looked like gibberish, you can download the "Streamer Application Pack" from my Itch page. This doesn't require any special software to run (other than Windows).
To run, simply extract everything from the zip file, navigate to the executable
directory, and run LaunchParty.exe.
