My Game Off 2021 entry.
## Introduction
> The Earth is under invasion. A fleet of giant bugs, bacteria, and viruses are
> outside of the planet.
>
> In the meantime, Diddi was developing a secret spacecraft. When his friends told him of
> the invasion, Diddi decided to visit the brilliant Dr. Chuck (a scientist, and also
> an old friend of Diddi). The doctor gave him the **L1-F3** experimental serum, that kills anything
> alive. That should destroy those bugs...
>
> To ensure that those bugs will be destroyed, Diddi modified his spacecraft to convert it into a
> starfighter that energizes the serum and shoot it. Then, he named the starfighter **Willpower**.
> Suddendly, the Willpower goes outside of the planet, to start the fight...
## Installation
Since the GameOff 2021 event is hosted by [itch.io](https://itch.io), the distributions are available there. The source
code lives in this GitHub repository, but the stable distributions are available at itch.io.
The itch.io page for my game is here: https://diddileija.itch.io/diddi-and-the-bugs.
Once you are there, read the installation instructions and find the right distribution for you.
If you don't find what you expected, feel free to open an issue on GitHub (or comment in the itch.io page).
### Python version
If you will use Python get sure to have **Python >= 3.8**.
### Building the zipped distributions by yourself
_New since 2.0.0_.
If you have a local clone of this repo, you can build the zipped distributions (those that we distribute on itch.io),
If you have [Nox](https://nox.thea.codes) and the Python required version (see above), run `nox -s package`. It will run a lot
of commands to generate the source zip, the Pyxel executable and the Windows executable (if running under Windows). The final
contents will be found on a `dist` folder [^1].
### Web support
Try out the latest dist: **the Pyxel web version!** You'll find this in the `html_dist` format of the game on [itch.io](https://diddileija.itch.io/diddi-and-the-bugs),
along with the source, the Pyxel-packaged and Windows-only versions.
You can also see the legacy, nightly web version (hosted online) [here](https://kitao.github.io/pyxel/wasm/launcher/?run=DiddiLeija.diddi-and-the-bugs...main).
## How to win
Use the energized serum to destroy **200 bugs** and win! In the meantime, you can earn extra points
by destroying space trash. **Try to get all the points as you can!**
Read the [game guide](https://github.com/DiddiLeija/diddi-and-the-bugs/blob/main/guide.md) for more information (and maybe a few hints!).
## Game engine
This game is made using [Pyxel](https://github.com/kitao/pyxel), a Python tool for retro games. The executables are uploaded to the itch.io page manually
each time a tag (release) is published here.
