A platformer with turn based battles about the ethical use of AI. Explore the overworld, walk into an AI-ethics dilemma, and fight it out as a turn based encounter where your choices are the moves.
Built with Python 3.11 + pygame.

Requires Python 3.11 and git.
git clone https://github.com/nuclearBulldog/TuringGame.git
cd TuringGame
python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m turing_gameInstalling Python 3.11 on Linux
sudo apt install git python3.11 # Debian/Ubuntu
sudo dnf install git python3.11 # Fedora
sudo pacman -S git python # ArchThe Windows commands are untested as I do not have a Windows machine. If something is off there please create an issue or PR.
Controls ~ A/D or arrows to move, Space/W/Up to jump, arrows + Enter
to pick a battle move, M to mute, Esc to back out.
The design goal was to keep game rules, presentation, and content independent of each other, so each can be tested or changed without touching the other two.

pytest --cov=turing_game --cov-report=term-missingCI runs lint and the full suite on every push and PR, and fails the build if coverage drops below 85%.
The suite runs entirely headless via SDL's dummy drivers, which is why the sheet loader
in spritesheet.py falls back to an unconverted
surface when no display exists.
python tools/gen_placeholder_art.pyExisting sheets are skipped, because several have since been replaced with hand-drawn
art. Pass --force only if you mean to overwrite them.
