helix_survivae

Entry for the 24h game jam hosted on the Lazy-Developpers Discord server on April 10 2021

How to use

to run it:

• Execute helix_survivae.exe in ./dist

to modify it:

1. Open the repo in PyCharm
2. Delete the ./venv folder
3. Let PyCharm re-create it with your own configuration, make sure to use Python 3.9 or above
4. Install the pip dependencies:

   pip install pyinstaller windows-curses

5. Run the program from a terminal using python main.py, as of the day of writing this, PyCharm's "run" terminal does not support Curses calls

note: I plan to port this to Pygcurses eventually, so the need to run in a separate terminal will be gone.

to compile it:

• run this command:

      pyinstaller main.py --onefile --icon=icon.ico --name=helix_survivae
