Welcome to Raccoon Café, a cozy pixel-art game where you're the barista at the cutest café in town — and your customers? Adorable raccoons with a serious love for coffee!

In Raccoon Café, your job is to keep your furry visitors happy by:

• Brewing coffee with the coffee machine ☕
• Dragging fresh cups to the raccoon that appears 🐾
• Cleaning up with the trash bin 🗑️
• Ringing the cash register for a satisfying ka-ching 💸
• Watching for sparkles ✨ when your coffee hits the spot!

Each raccoon appears with a random coffee order (1–3 cups). Serve them right, and they’ll gleefully waddle away, making room for the next guest. With randomized raccoon sprites, no two visits feel quite the same.

• 🎨 Wholesome, hand-picked pixel art assets
• 🐾 Three unique raccoon sprites selected randomly
• ☕ Drag-and-drop coffee mechanic
• 🧼 Trash bin interaction and cleanup
• 💬 Animated dialogue box with visual cues
• 🎵 Relaxing jazz background music
• ✨ Sparkle effect when coffee is delivered correctly
• 🖱️ Custom mouse cursors for added charm
• 🎚️ Sound effects for all major interactions (click, sparkle, register, raccoon entry)

1. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed.
2. Install Pygame by running:

   pip install pygame
3. Run the game from your terminal or IDE:

   python main.py
   
   

• Custom mouse cursor: Hiding the default system cursor and replacing it with a responsive pixel-art one was tricky, especially when syncing click states.
• Raccoon sprite randomness: The raccoon now randomly selects one of three sprites each time it enters, instead of changing unpredictably mid-game.
• Smooth transitions: Creating believable movement for the raccoon entering and exiting the café, while syncing sound and dialogue timing.
• Polishing interactions: Adding sound, hover effects, and click feedback for the register, coffee machine, and trash can — all while keeping things intuitive and cute.

• How to organize a multi-file Python game using main.py, cafe.py, coffee.py, and a shared game_state.py
• Implementing drag-and-drop mechanics with smooth mouse tracking and collision detection
• Managing sprite layers so that objects like coffee cups appear in the correct visual order
• Creating timed animations (like steam and sparkle effects) using frame intervals
• Adding interactivity to UI elements with hover highlights and sounds (trash, register, coffee machine)
• Using Pygame’s sound system to play simultaneous effects and loop background music
• Debugging subtle visual issues like cursor alignment, positioning offsets, and animation timing

• Python
• Pygame
• Coffee, chaos, and cozy vibes ☕
