Question

Create a project plan on the game or application you are creating. Using java programming. The project plan should include the following:

• A description of the game or application
• The IDE or game engine your plan to use to create the game or app and information on how you are going to develop the game or app
• If you choose to create a game, how are you going to approach the game design and game development process or if you choose an application for your final project, describe how you plan on developing the application
• Any questions you have about the final project

The game or application does not need to be a complex project, the only requirement is that the game or application needs to have a GUI (graphical user interface).

Answer 1

2D Robo Bird Game

1. Description -

Robo Bird Game is designed for Kinder gaming purposes and implemented using the OpenGL utility toolkit to implement the algorithm written in Java programming language. The objective of the game is to fly a robo bird in space with a restricted upward and downward motion using either mouse or keyboard, meanwhile, random danger walls will move towards the player's copter and the player has to avoid a collision between them. The game will enter into next level as soon as the player crosses the next 50 unit distance and the speed of the wall will increase by a certain amount each time player enters the next level. The game will be over if a collision occurs between the player's copter and a wall.

2. IDE -

We are going to use Eclipse IDE for writing the Java code, including all Computer Graphics and OpenGL libraries, declaring variables, mentioning the base cases and conditions, etc.

3. Approach -

The step-by-step approach of designing and developing the game is as follows:

• A welcome screen which contains the following buttons - PROFILE (the player can make his/her own profile to save his level and score), ABOUT (a display about the game, its version, and owners of the game), CONFIGURATION (the player can choose the key for up and down action of the copter and can change the color of the copter), START (clicking on which game will start with the customized configuration).
• Calculating distance traveled by copter and displaying and updating it continuously as the score of the player while the game is on.
• Calculating level and continuously displaying and updating it as the game is on.
• A game over the window which will show score and level of player and also a button “PLAY AGAIN” clicking on which game will start again.
• If player score manages among top ten scorers after game over it should prompt for entering his name so it can store and display player’s name among top ten scorers with the player’s name in the list.
