Hate-Core is my first serious Python game, inspired by Dark Souls. You control a lone knight in a 2D world, fighting dragons, surviving as long as possible, and trying to beat your high score. I built this as a learning project with Pygame, experimenting with sprites, music, and simple game mechanics. Still a beginner, so there’s a lot to improve!
- 2D hack-and-slash combat
- Sprites and animations for characters and dragon
- Background music and sound effects
- Keyboard and touch controls
- High-score system
- Arrow keys / WASD → Move knight
- Space / Enter → Attack
- R → Restart
- (Touch controls if using a touchscreen device)
- Python 3.x
- Pygame (
pip install -r requirements.txt)
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ah4ddd/Hate-Core
# Navigate into the folder
cd Hate-Core
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Start the game
python3 main.py- This is a Phase 1 project, so mechanics are simple.
- I’d love feedback, tips, or suggestions for improvement!
- Add more enemies and boss mechanics
- More complex attacks and animations
- Score leaderboard and better UI
- Polish graphics and music
- And actual lore to it
