College has made me realize just how many people don't know how to differentiate between compostable, recyclable, and garbage items. Because of this, I've created a Python game to teach people how to differentiate between these items. It has default options for using the keypad or a game controller as well as an option to customize controls. I've made the game with 3 difficulties and 3 levels. The difficulties determine how wide and area the items will fall while the levels progress so that more items need to be differentiated. First, the player simply needs to catch the compostable items and let the garbage items fall into the dumpster. Next the player needs to switch between compostable and recyclable bags to catch the items and let the garbage fall into the dumpster. Finally, the player needs to catch all the different types of items in their respective bag and "pick-up" fallen items. I've also made it so that buttons which take the player to another page are blue with yellow writing while buttons that are options that can be changed are in black and get highlighted in yellow when selected.
