Egg Catcher Game Project in Python

Egg catcher game built in using Python. A simple game with a colorful user Interface in which the user has to catch eggs and based on these eggs he will get some points called as score.

Egg Catcher Project Python

To Build a Simple  Egg Catcher Project You need to follow the below steps

Step 1. Download Python

You only need Python to run this script. You can visit here to download Python and then you need to install a package named tk.

pip install tk

Step 2. Write the following code

Write this code in a Python file or directly copy this code and save the file with the name and .py extension python eggcatcher.py

from itertools import cycle
from random import randrange
from tkinter import Tk , Canvas , messagebox , font

canvas_width = 800
canvas_height = 400

win = Tk()
c = Canvas(win , width = canvas_width , height = canvas_height , background = 'deep sky blue')
c.create_rectangle(-5, canvas_height - 100 , canvas_width + 5 , canvas_height + 5 , fill='sea green', width=0)
c.create_oval(-80,-80,120,120,fill='orange' , width=0)
c.pack()

color_cycle = cycle(['light blue' , 'light pink' , 'light yellow','light green' , 'red', 'blue' , 'green','black'])
egg_width = 45
egg_height = 55
egg_score = 10
egg_speed = 500
egg_interval = 4000
difficulty_factor = 0.95

catcher_color = 'blue'
catcher_width = 100
catcher_height = 100
catcher_start_x = canvas_width / 2 - catcher_width / 2
catcher_start_y = canvas_height -catcher_height - 20
catcher_start_x2 = catcher_start_x + catcher_width
catcher_start_y2 = catcher_start_y + catcher_height

catcher = c.create_arc(catcher_start_x ,catcher_start_y ,catcher_start_x2,catcher_start_y2 , start=200 , extent = 140 , style='arc' , outline=catcher_color , width=3)

score = 0
score_text = c.create_text(10,10,anchor='nw' , font=('Arial',18,'bold'),fill='darkblue',text='Score : ' + str(score))

lives_remaning = 3
lives_text = c.create_text(canvas_width-10,10,anchor='ne' , font=('Arial',18,'bold'),fill='darkblue',text='Lives : ' + str(lives_remaning))

eggs = []

def create_eggs():
x = randrange(10,740)
y = 40
new_egg = c.create_oval(x,y,x+egg_width,y+egg_height,fill=next(color_cycle),width=0)
eggs.append(new_egg)
win.after(egg_interval,create_eggs)

def move_eggs():
for egg in eggs:
(egg_x,egg_y,egg_x2,egg_y2) = c.coords(egg)
c.move(egg,0,10)
if egg_y2 > canvas_height:
egg_dropped(egg)
win.after(egg_speed,move_eggs)

def egg_dropped(egg):
eggs.remove(egg)
c.delete(egg)
lose_a_life()
if lives_remaning == 0:
messagebox.showinfo('GAME OVER!' , 'Final Score : ' + str(score))
win.destroy()

def lose_a_life():
global lives_remaning
lives_remaning -= 1
c.itemconfigure(lives_text , text='Lives : ' + str(lives_remaning))

def catch_check():
(catcher_x,catcher_y,catcher_x2,catcher_y2) = c.coords(catcher)
for egg in eggs:
(egg_x,egg_y,egg_x2,egg_y2) = c.coords(egg)
if catcher_x < egg_x and egg_x2 < catcher_x2 and catcher_y2 - egg_y2 < 40:
eggs.remove(egg)
c.delete(egg)
increase_score(egg_score)
win.after(100,catch_check)

def increase_score(points):
global score , egg_speed , egg_interval
score += points
egg_speed = int(egg_speed * difficulty_factor)
egg_interval = int(egg_interval * difficulty_factor)
c.itemconfigure(score_text , text='Score : ' + str(score))

def move_left(event):
(x1,y1,x2,y2) = c.coords(catcher)
if x1 > 0:
c.move(catcher,-20,0)

def move_right(event):
(x1,y1,x2,y2) = c.coords(catcher)
if x2 < canvas_width:
c.move(catcher,20,0)

c.bind('<Left>' , move_left)
c.bind('<Right>' , move_right)
c.focus_set()

win.after(1000,create_eggs)
win.after(1000,move_eggs)
win.after(1000,catch_check)

win.mainloop()

Step 3. Run the code

After saving the code double-click on the file to run the program or simply open Command Prompt and write the following command.

python eggcatcher.py
