PyCut is a pizza-making puzzle game made for the IGME-582 final project at the [https://www.rit.edu/ Rochester Institute of Technology]. This game teaches basic units of measure to children inspired by the Pizza Pass minigame of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombinis Logical Journey of the Zoombinis]'' (1996).

This game teaches basic units of measure to children inspired by the Pizza Pass minigame of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoombinis Logical Journey of the Zoombinis]'' (1996).
The game intends to be a logic puzzle for 4th graders to deduce a solution based on as little knowledge as possible.

In the added "Advanced" difficulty mode the puzzle begins to incorporate fractions into the mix.

Note: The previous stable version does not seem to work for most XOs. The Prototype works by invoking the main file in python but not as an XO activity.

In the beginning of the project, a few [https://github.com/FOSSRIT/PyCut/wiki/Future-planning stretch goals] were identified as extra features that would be nice for us to add if we have time or for future students in the HFOSS course to add if they wish to take our project and improve it.

Another way to expand PyCut would be to add multiple types of puzzles, similar to the original Zoombinis game. The question would be whether the expansion puzzles are related to PyCut and tie into a theme, or if it's a larger game with different logic puzzles tied together.
