Simple Tower Defense & HTML5 Sarah Fahlesson
Project Description Create a simple tower defense game prototype using HTML5 Then use this game to further explore possibilities
MS2 – Proof of Concept Rough programming done of main sections Test on various platforms Figure out limitations and change design as needed “At milestone 2 on Feb 20 th, the simple prototype should be working and simple testing on mobile devices started” – YES!
Interesting Features so far 3 different types of towers 3 different types of enemies Show damage Path-finding Resources (gold) Health Score Simple Graphics (Lost Garden & then changed a bit) Cross-platform tests successful so far
Difficulties Encountered No more WebGL Did not work on the majority of mobile platforms Lost time figuring this out Redone everything using Canvas instead Two new languages to learn HTML5 & Javascript Testing taking more time than planned
Screen Shot
Next Step Game: Show if something is selected Better graphics? HTML Make it look less ‘fugly’ Create a method for users to balance the game themselves Offline play? Highscore Fix some of the bugs that show up in tablets & phones
