Learning Objectives:
(This is a list of the major topics that you, as
students, will learn in this
assignment:)
Part 1:
Dodge The Bricks, C# Edition!
This game
uses concepts from the ‘Repetition’ section of our course.
For this game, the player will control a ghost, and try to get a diamond, without getting hit by the moving bricks. The starting setup for the game is pictured below (note that your window may be wider)
The bricks
move ONLY side to side, and when they get to the wall, they turn around & go
back the other way. The player is
allowed to move the ghost anywhere they want, except that the ghost is not
allowed to leave the screen. If the
ghost is hit by a wall, then the game is over and the player has lost.
If the ghost gets the diamond, then the game is over and the player has
won.
There must
be a total of 4 bricks on the screen, and they need to be positioned a fashion
that is very similar to what is pictured above, but don’t worry if
your blocks are a couple of pixels off from what’s pictured above.
You need to download two copies of the "Game Evaluation Document" from the website. For each one, you need to find a game, and fill out the document. You should pay particular attention to issues specific to gender-inclusive game design.
When you look for games to evaluate, you should specifically find a game that does well, in terms of gender-specific game design, and another that does NOT do well. In the evaluation document, you need to clearly identify which game is which.
You’re encouraged to find *any* game (up through ‘M’ rating), including/especially current console games (i.e., 360/PS3/Wii/etc). Free, online, 2D games are fine, though
You are required to work in groups for this assignment. If you have questions, please contact the instructor.
What to turn in:
Each group will hand in 1 copy of their work. We will go over this at the start of class, on the day this assignment is due.
The .ZIP file that you hand in should contain
All the C# source code, and the project, etc, for your game. You should remove all bin and obj directories, but leave everything else.
A Word .DOC file, that contains your evaluation of the game that does well with gender-inclusive game design.
A Word .DOC file, that contains your evaluation of the game that does NOT do well with gender-inclusive game design
How to electronically submit your homework:
Instructions to do this will be given in-class on the date that this assignment is due.
