Adblock blocks outgoing connection (required for communicating to cloud db as I’m using a free domain from duckdns). Added notification to inform user to disable it. (works afterwards)

Ship #1 Changes requested

@abeermaheshwari09 on PocketXI

  • This was initially a school project that had the basic functionality of a football game (local multiplayer / 2 player mode) with little to no other features. I transformed it into a way better game than it was before by adding an online database for account and career saving, online multiplayer, and a massive menu theme refresh, with a few accessibility features as well.
  • In my 2nd last devlog, the web version had a mouse positioning mismatch, which took me ages to fix as it was due to pyautogui messing with the resolutions, however this led to another bug where fade in-out transitions were freezing the game on browser. I had to use AI to fix this as I spent over two hours essentially messing up my code.
  • I am proud of the cloud hosted services that my game provides as they are very fast and seamless (even though it’s hosted on a free oracle compute instance!), while also being stored, and communicated securely (via hashing, cryptography and cloudflare tunneling).
  • To test the project, you can simply go to the demo website linked, or clone the repository. If cloning the repo, make sure python (duh), pygame, and cryptography libraries are installed.

BUG FIXES + CLOUD DB UPDATE

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed mouse positioning issue in browsers
  • Fixed multiplayer rooms not being hosted on browser
  • Removed Transitions on browser as they were extremely buggy.
  • Move locally hosted data to a cloud-hosted DB
  • Updated Readme
  • Fixed Transitions freezing on browser. Used AI to fix as it was driving me nuts.
  • Fixed resolution mismatch between browser and desktop game versions
  • Added player markers onscreen for multiplayer (and local) so that it is easier to identify your sprite.

Hopefully Ready to Ship!
