Hey devs, Ishant here 👋
This one’s ancient.
Back in Class 11, my teacher told me:
“Build a road safety game.”
So I built a Snakes & Ladders — Road Safety Edition in Python.
Then the teacher never checked it.
And the project just… sat on my PC for 2.0 years like a forgotten save file. 💀
Until today.
🎲 What is this?
It’s classic Snakes & Ladders, but education-flavored:
🚦 Follow traffic rules → ladder
🚫 Break traffic rules → snake
Instead of “oops bad luck”, the game straight-up tells you:
- Overspeeding? Get cooked.
- Red light jump? Down you go.
- Follow rules? Free ladder, king 👑
💀 The worst part (aka the board)
Here’s the fun constraint:
❌ I was NOT allowed to design my own board.
I had to use a specific road safety image.
Which meant:
- Measuring tile size in pixels
- Calculating player movement manually
- Dividing & multiplying coordinates for every tile
- Aligning sprites so they don’t drift into another universe
Ironically, if I was allowed to design my own board, this would’ve taken hours.
Instead, it took pain.
🕹️ Features (yes it actually works)
- Dice-based movement
- Snakes & ladders with random road safety messages
-
Sound effects:
- Dice roll
- Snake (aka accident 💀)
- Ladder (bonus 😎)
Start menu + About Developer screen
-
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Space → Roll dice
- Esc → Exit
Packaged into a Windows EXE (no Python needed)
Built in about two weeks with Class 11 energy and zero fear.
🔧 Tech Stuff
- Python
- Pygame
- Packaged for Windows
- Open-sourced under MIT because why not
📉 Reality Check
This is NOT:
- A commercial game
- A viral hit
- A masterpiece
It’s just an old project that deserved to see daylight instead of rotting forever.

Anyway, that’s it.
No “lessons learned”.
No “journey”.
Just a Class 11 project that finally escaped my hard drive.
