Recreation of Google Chrome's "No Internet Connection" Dinosaur Game. Created with only one year of programming experience.

It's not perfect, but it gets the general mechanics. I spent around 2-3 weeks of my time in 10th grade computer science class working on this for fun.

Included Features:
- Score & high-score
- Restart mechanism
- Gradual increase in speed/difficulty
- Maximum speed at 1500 score (150 seconds)
- T-Rex & pterodactyl animations
- 3 cactus variations
- With appearance randomizer
- 3 pterodactyl height variations
- Starts to appear at 300 score (30 seconds)

To-Do List (Probably won't work on it further, but feel free to modify my program with these features):
- Background (Clouds/Stars)
- Better ground (Dirt ground moving animation)
- Change of time of day (Day w/ clouds, night w/ stars & inverted colors)
- Better hit-box detection

Impressive work on recreating the Google Chrome "No Internet Connection" Dinosaur Game with just a year of programming experience! Your dedication during your 10th-grade computer science class shines through in the features you've implemented. The scoring system, restart mechanism, and dynamic difficulty progression showcase your grasp of game mechanics. The inclusion of animated T-Rex game, pterodactyls, and randomized appearances adds a nice touch. While you've built a solid foundation, your ambitious to-do list hints at a keen eye for improvement, suggesting a promising journey ahead in game development. Keep up the great work!
