Feature description

Current spinning behavior does not provide a realistic experience. Implementing a physics simulation would improve the overall user experience by simulating real-world spinning behavior, including friction, inertia, and accurate collision detection.

Proposed solution

Integrate a physics engine like Pymunk or Pygame's physics module to create a more realistic spinning experience.

Feature description

Currently, the spinner changes colours and starts and stops spinning abruptly. We want to add a new feature that adds transition effects when the spinner changes colours or when it starts and stops spinning. This can be achieved by using more advanced graphics libraries like pygame.

Possible solution:

1. Add the pygame library to the project.
2. Create new functions that handle the transition effects, such as fade in/out or slide in/out.
3. Update the spinner() function to use the new transition effects when the spinner changes colors or when it starts and stops spinning.
4. Add event listeners that trigger the new transition effect functions when the spinner changes colours or when it starts and stops spinning.

Additional context

Adding transition effects will make the spinner more visually appealing and provide users with a better experience. We can provide users with an option to turn off the transition effects if they find them distracting or if they have performance issues. We can also add more transition effects in the future to provide users with a wider range of options.

Feature description

The current implementation of the fidget spinner app provides users with spinning challenges but lacks a progression system. This feature request aims to introduce collectibles and an in-game currency system, allowing users to collect coins, power-ups, or other items during spinning challenges. These can be used to purchase upgrades or new fidget spinners.

Possible solution

To implement collectibles and a currency system, we can add coins or other items to the spinning challenges that users can collect by spinning their spinner near them. The app can track the user's collection of items and display their inventory. Additionally, we can introduce an in-game currency system that allows users to use their collected coins to purchase upgrades or new fidget spinners. The upgrades can improve the spinner's attributes, such as speed, balance, or durability, providing a sense of progression and customization. Users can earn more coins by completing challenges or collecting more items.

Additional context

Introducing collectibles and a currency system can add a layer of engagement and motivation to the spinning challenges, providing users with a tangible goal to work towards. This feature can also encourage users to explore different spinning techniques or replay challenges to collect more items. Moreover, the ability to purchase upgrades or new spinners can allow users to customise their spinning experience according to their preferences, adding a sense of ownership and personalisation.

Feature description

The goal of this feature is to host the fidget spinner game in a web browser using Pyodide and Flask. Pyodide is a project that allows running Python code in the browser by compiling Python to WebAssembly. Flask is a Python web framework that can be used to create web applications. By combining these two technologies, we can create a browser-based version of the fidget spinner game that can be played without requiring users to install Python on their computer.

Proposed solution (optional)

1. Refactor the existing code to separate the game logic from the PyGame-specific code. This will allow us to reuse the game logic in the browser-based version of the game.
2. Create a Flask application that serves the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the game. The HTML and CSS will define the layout and styling of the game, while the JavaScript will handle the user interaction and communicate with the Python code running in Pyodide.
3. Use Pyodide to compile the Python code for the game and load it into the browser. We can use the Pyodide.runPython() function to execute Python code in the browser.
4. Implement the game logic using the same code as the PyGame version of the game. We will need to modify the game logic to use the Pyodide-compatible versions of the Python standard library modules.
5. Implement the user interaction using JavaScript. We can use event listeners to detect user input, and use the Pyodide.runPython() function to call the appropriate Python functions to update the game state.

Additional context

Hosting the fidget spinner game in the browser using Pyodide and Flask will make it more accessible to users who do not have Python installed on their computer. This will allow a wider audience to enjoy the game without requiring them to download and install additional software. Additionally, hosting the game on the web will allow users to play the game on a wider range of devices, including mobile devices and tablets.
