A downloadable game
Download NowName your own price
simple infinite runner type game! basically the same as the "offline chrome browser dino game" but has:
- treats you should try to get!!! (green stars ๐๐๐)
- obstacles you should try to avoid!!! (red stars ๐ฅ๐ก๐ค)
- an 8% chance that you will encounter a "colorblind mode" that mimics protanopia
as per the orig chrome dino game, the game speed will increase as your score increases

๐ค faq ๐ค
- built using PyGame! this is my first finished PyGame project!
- colorblindness effects 8% of men, which is why i chose 8% as the random-chance for the protanopia filter
- oopsin is a pun off opsin: a family of light-sensitive proteins. different types of opsin are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, which lets us see color!
- colorblindness happens when the opsin proteins on the X chromosome have genetic mutations (X-linked inheritance!)
- i am not colorblind! but my friend is... i feel awful when i forget every autumn & try to point out red leaves i think are pretty... sorry buddy... anyway, he started trying to explain to me how HE sees thinks and how he can differentiate based on some contexts. which made me curious and gave me gamey-makey ideas!
