Metal Clicker

This is my side project or hobby game that i made. A simple clicker game made with Python and Pygame. You click a big glowing rock, it gives you a random material (soil, iron, copper, silver, gold, diamond, or ruby), and you rack up points. Watch out for uranium though — that one costs you points.

What you need

• Python 3 installed
• Pygame installed

If you don't have Pygame yet, install it with:

pip install pygame

How to run it

1. Make sure metal_clicker.py and the res folder are in the same place.
2. Open a terminal in that folder.
3. Run:

python metal_clicker.py

That's it, the game window should pop up.

The res folder

The game looks for its images and sounds inside a folder called res (short for "resources"), sitting right next to the game file. If a file is missing, the game won't crash — it'll just fall back to a plain colored circle or play no sound for that item.

Here's what the game expects to find in there:

Images:

• background.jpg
• SOIL.png
• COPPER.png
• SILVER.png
• GOLD.png
• DAIM.png (diamond)
• RUBY.png
• uranium.png

Sounds:

• Background.mp3 (background music)
• soil.wav
• iron.wav
• copper.wav
• gold(and others).wav (used for gold, diamond, and ruby)
• FAIL.wav (plays when you hit uranium)

How to play

Just click the glowing rock in the middle of the screen. Every click gives you a random drop based on its rarity — common stuff like soil and iron shows up a lot, while diamonds and rubies are rare and worth way more points. Uranium is a trap: it takes points away and breaks your streak.

Controls

Key / Action	What it does
Left click on the rock	Mine it
M	Turn background music on/off
R	Restart the run
Esc	Pause / go back

What's on screen

• Score — your current points
• Best — your highest score ever, saved automatically to a file called best_score.txt
• Clicks — total number of times you've clicked
• Streak — how many good drops in a row (resets if you hit uranium)
• Loot Table — shows the drop chance for every item, so you know your odds

Notes

• Your best score is saved locally in best_score.txt, right next to the game file, so it'll still be there next time you open the game.
• The window is a fixed size (1400x820), it doesn't resize.
