Star Collector Hero - Python

The first version of my game engine, which I started writing with Python + pygame (SDL), comes with a complete playable platformer: a procedural campaign, unique bosses, dynamic lighting and a built-in live level editor. The project is in the development phase.

* Built-in FPS counter & debug panel (F3)

* 2D dynamic lighting engine (dark-cave atmosphere)

* Full physics engine (gravity, collisions, one-way platforms, trampolines)

* Procedural level generator (same seed = same level)

* Procedural CAMPAIGN: 5 biomes (Forest, Lava Cave, Ice, Desert, Astro) in a random chain with rising difficulty — the Astro Boss is the final boss!

* 5 unique bosses: Forest Giant, Dark Colossus, Ice Giant, Sand Patrol, Star Destroyer

* Algorithmic 8-bit music: 10 mathematically generated tracks (one per biome + boss), mixed from melody/bass/harmony/rhythm

* Retro 8-bit sound effects synthesized fully in memory (no external files)

* Combat & projectile system + enemy variety: Patrol, Flyer, Hopper, Turret, Spike hazards

* 4 PowerUps: 🧲 Magnetic Pull, 🔱 Triple Shot, 🛡️ Shield, ⚡ Storm Speed

* 3-heart health system with invulnerability (i-frames)

* Multi-language UI — Turkish 🇹🇷 / English 🇬🇧 live toggle (T)

* Persistent high score & language saving

* Live Level Editor: undo, copy/paste, save & load JSON levels

* Play user-levels from file (custom_level.json / [C])

* Full gamepad support
