OMG make a game over the weekend challenge
Why?
For a class we have to make a flash app as a group project. We talked about this once at the beginning of the semester.
I promptly forgot about it and Im assuming most of my "group" did too... ...or dropped the class.
Time is running out for the semester.
As the programmer I feel I need SOMETHING to send out to the members who are still alive other than "yeah we should do this". I have the concept, I have the tools I just need to do the work.
Concept:
foot ball game (FSU Seminoles Vs UF Gators)
2 player VS (one keyboard
Flash via Adobe Flex (Id like to be able to embed it in a webpage)
Highly simplified rules. (no punting, no kickoff, just run and pass)
I'm going to use boxes in place of sprites for now, though I have a cute little running football man Ill implement later if people like it.
Controls (two action buttons and 4 directions per player)
offense:
up down left right
Pass to higher other footballer
Pass to lower other footballer
defense:
up down left right
tackle
also tackle
Goal:
score 3 touchdowns
Features:
2 player action
offense and defense that switch after a touchdown or the 4th down
3 players per team that run in formation
passing
tackling
score keeping
Features to add later:
Sprites
Pick-a-formation (multiple selectable formations wee!)
Interception (tackle while under a flying ball being passed to grab it down)
A Splash screen
Sound
Music
. . .
Build Phases:
Phase 0
boiler plate code, classes, make a thing move
Phase 1
Move things on the screen with two sets of controls at once, reset field
Phase 2
Implement 'footballer has ball' and passing
Phase 3
Touchdown and Score keeping
phase 4
throw ball, catch ball, transfer 'footballer has ball' status
phase 5
reset teams down field (new play), generate line-of-scrimmage
phase 6
tackling and downs
phase 7+
TBD
