CSCI 4070/6070 Game Programming

1. You will need to support at least 3 levels (not counting splash screens, or simple 'move between level' screens.
   1. At least one level should include parallax scrolling giving the level a feel of depth (wikipedia - parallax ).
   2. For at least one level the Camera View is significantly smaller than the full map of the level (see text book for aa more detailed description).
   3. One Level should be a top down, i.e.,,. looking at player from above (not side scrolling)
2. Splash Screen: You should provide a splash screen, and this screen should not count as a level.
3. Sprites: You must design at least three types of sprites:
   1. Player sprite: the main player of your game. You should provide at least the following dynamics:
      1. Running,
      2. Falling,
      3. Jumping,
      4. Swimming,
      5. Flying,
      6. Climbing, and
      7. Swinging (this is the most challenging).
   2. Enemy sprites: Entities that hurt or kill you, e.g., a zombie, your evil self, or an animal. You should provide both static (remains in one place) and dynamic enemy sprites (moves, e.g., walks or runs).
   3. Friendly sprites: Sprites that help you in the game (e.g., gives you strength, health, or extra lives).
   4. Self Sprite: One prominent sprite will need to be a self portrait sprite, and this one will need to animated, and represented by a series of images to give it a dynamic feeling of motion (you may chose either type of sprite, friendly, enemy or player to be the self sprite - or all).
4. Attack: Your game needs to include 3 different methods of attacking enemies, e.g., jump on head, sooting, and kicking.
5. Attributes: You'll need to implement a set of player attributes. At a minimum you should provide a limited number of lives, and a health attribute. The value of these attributes should be displayed as you play the came, the value can be graphical, e.g., number of hearts to indicate lives. Examples: Too similar: simply switching images, changing color, changing speed, or damage. What is different enough? Grenade and Bullets, trajectories (straight vs arced vs under ground), fist and jumping on head is different enough, throw objects, bow and arrow, charging thing - mega man.

1. Physics: Box2D : you will need to use at least one feature in this plug-in. (HINT: use this to do the swinging).
2. ALL art work should be drawn/designed by you.
3. See grade criteria below for my details on required elements.
4. You must submit all source code, all documentation, and demo your work to be eligible for your project to be graded.
   

Optional Elements:

1. You may consider adding super powers, or a treasure chest where you can find potions that gives you special powers. You may also consider implementing an inventory where you can chose super powers.
