Having Fun with Your Feet…better yet, Greenfoot TM Nicolas Romero February 28, 2009 Gaming Academy CTD – SEP Northwestern University

What I learned and taught my dad Java ™ is not a type of coffee you order at Starbucks…..

Gracias! Mr. Myers for making class fun.

How I Designed My Game 1. Selected Spacewar Scenario 2. Changed space ship design 3. Added enemy/space ship disappearance 4. Added explosion sound/visual 5. Added score

Selected Spacewar Scenario Nice rocket ship…but not a lot of ACTION! Let’s start by changing the ship.

Changed space ship design turned into I changed the space ship design by selecting “set image” for the space ship “actor” and choosing another picture.

It’s NO fun if you shoot the enemy and it doesn’t disappear…… Added enemy/space ship disappearance I modified the scenario by adding the following code: getWorld().removeObject(this); } else if(getOneIntersectingObject(Laser.class) != null) {getWorld().addObject(new Explosion(), getX(), getY()); getWorld().removeObject(this);

A video game without sound!! Who ever heard of that? I wanted to hear and see the explosion so I added the following code. Added explosion sound/visual else if(getOneIntersectingObject(Laser.class) != null) { count++; scoreNum.setText("Score: " + count); getWorld().addObject(new Explosion(), getX(), getY()); resurrect(); //getWorld().removeObject(this); Greenfoot.playSound("explosion.wav");

Finally, I loved blowing up enemy ships but I also wanted to keep track of how many so I added more code. Added score IF YOU MISS  Then it’s -1 if (getX() <= 0) { setLocation(getWorld().getWidth() + 20, Greenfoot.getRandomNumber(600)); count--; scoreNum.setText("Score: " + count); } IF YOU HIT!!! Then it’s +1 else if(getOneIntersectingObject(Laser.class) != null) { count++; scoreNum.setText("Score: " + count);

El Fin! El Fin! And now for the demo……
