Confinement

remembering the pandemic

General

Confinement is a game about a teenager’s experience throughout the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-1. Our game is made up of our personal experiences, and we strive to be as accurate as possible.

Confinement was created using Python. You can view the source code here.

Usage (skip to how to play)

There are a couple ways you can install our game:

• Download the Mac app

• Install using the package:

  Requirements:

  • Python 3.6+
  • pip

   # you may need to use `pip` instead of `pip3`
   pou # run the game
  

• Build from the source:

  Requirements: Only intended for *nix users (MacOS, Linux, BSD). If you are on Windows, either TRY building this, or just use the download.

How to play

Once you have installed the app, open it up by double clicking it, or by running pou in the command line if you used pip. A window should show, asking you if you would like to have sound.

Type either 1 or 0 for sound or no sound, and be sure to resize the window to the shape you would like it before hitting enter.

The game progresses day by day, with different scenarios each time. Some days will have interactive parts in them that you will have to complete to move on.

If at any time you would like to exit the game, simply push ctrl+c to exit. Your progress is not saved.
