A 2D side-scrolling shooter built in Python with Pygame: playable directly in the browser via WebAssembly.
Created for Hack Club's Campfire Hackathon.

▶ Play in Browser

No installation needed: runs entirely in the browser thanks to pygbag.

• Handcrafted levels: each built with a custom tile-based level editor
• Smooth side-scrolling with parallax background layers (sky, mountains, pine trees)
• Full player move set: run, jump, shoot, and throw grenades
• Enemy AI: enemies patrol, idle randomly, and attack when the player enters their line of sight
• Pickups: health packs, ammo crates, and grenade boxes scattered throughout levels
• Grenade physics: arc trajectory with bounce, fuse timer, and explosion sprites
• Health bar HUD: real-time health display with colour gradient
• Screen transitions: cinematic fade-in on level start and pink death fade
• Win screen: "YOU WIN!" with a replay button after completing all levels
• In-game restart: press R for a confirmation dialog to restart the current level without losing your place
• Fully web-compatible: packaged with pygbag for zero-install browser play

The project includes a standalone level editor (level_editer.py) used to design all levels:

• Paint tiles onto a 16 × 150 grid using all 21 tile types
• Scroll horizontally to build wide levels
• Save directly to CSV format loaded by the game

python level_editer.py

This game was built for Hack Club's Campfire Hackathon. The goal was to create a fully browser-playable game from scratch: level design, sprite animation, enemy AI, physics, and audio: all within the hackathon window.
