This is my coursework for term 1 year 1 programming module.

You will need Python & PyGame installed, versions I used are detailed here.

Either:

• Open project in IDE of choice and run Main.py
• Run the Main.py by opening with Python shell

Python Version: 3.6.1

PyGame Version: 1.9.3

We had to use Python to produce a project of our choice.

I decided I wanted to use PyGame and so decided to recreate, in Python & PyGame, my coursework 2 piece for GCSE Computer Science that I completed in 2015.

My exam board was AQA and gave us the game outline.

It was a two player game where each player had 2 counters, and their goal was to get board counters to the top row. The game consisted of 11 rows where rows 1, 5 and 11 are 'safe' rows, meaning that your counter cannot be knocked back from this location. If your counter landed on the same row an an opponent counter, the opponents counter would be knocked back to the START position. Once both of a players counters landed on the finish row, they would be considered the winner.

I included the follow in this implemenation:

• Highscores
• Saving and loading a game
• Instructions screen
