Forsaken (Pygame)

Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• pygame (pip install pygame)

Run

From repo root:

• python cabbage/forsaken.py

Round Flow

• Title: press Enter, then choose the killer (Left/Right + Enter)
• 3-second intro shows the killer
• Game: survive, complete generators, or eliminate Noob
• Game Over: click Rematch or press R to restart

Map

• Three full-width floors (ground, mid, top)
• Portals only way between floors (ends and near-ends)
  • Enter a portal to teleport beside the paired portal, placed on the floor
  • 0.6s cooldown prevents instant re-entry
• Houses on platforms; house windows light when Noob is inside (killer hint)

Generators (Puzzle)

• Approach a generator (brown box with green slider)
• Press G to start a 3-key sequence (from A/S/D/W/Q/E)
• Type the sequence correctly to complete (-10s timer)
• Wrong key resets that generator’s sequence attempt

Split Screen

• Always on: left view follows Noob, right view follows Killer
• Central divider; UI overlays on top

Controls

Noob (Player 1)

• Move A/D, Jump W
• Q: Speed boost x2 (5s, 10s cd)
• E: Invisibility (5s, 10s cd)
• R: Fortify (half speed, take 10% damage, 5s, 30s cd)
• G: Start generator puzzle when close

CoolKid (Killer)

• Move ←/→, Jump ↑
• , (comma): Slash (1s cd)
• / (slash): Dash (up to 4s, 40s cd). Hitting Noob stops dash and deals 40 dmg + explosion FX
• M: Spawn up to 3 clones (10s cd)

1x1x1x1 (Killer)

• Move ←/→, Jump ↑
• , (comma): Entanglement — small flying stun blade (5s stun) (short cd)
• . (period): Melee slash like CoolKid (1s cd)
• / (slash): Mass Infection — fast spinning blade projectile (damage, short cd)
• M: Arrow Ping — green arrow points toward Noob (15s, 40s cd)

Audio (CoolKid)

Place audio files (if you want music/SFX):

• cabbage/assets/sounds/coolkid/
  • theme_ready_or_not.mp3 (BGM; loops)
  • slash.ogg, dash_start.ogg, dash_hit_explosion.ogg, clone_spawn.ogg (SFX)

Helper to download placeholders/BGM links:

• python cabbage/tools/download_coolkid_audio.py

Tips

• Noob: use R before big hits; Q to reach gaps; E to avoid slashes
• CoolKid: time dash to land the 40-dmg hit; clones to pressure
• 1x1x1x1: use long-range blade (/) to control lanes; ping (M) to track Noob

Troubleshooting

• No audio: verify files are in cabbage/assets/sounds/coolkid, and try pygame.mixer.init defaults (already enabled). If needed, set SDL_AUDIODRIVER=directsound on Windows.
• Split screen squished: the game renders native half-width panes (no scaling). Ensure window is large enough (1100x700 default).
