Homework 7: Firing the Guns

Short Description:

This assignment is worth 50 points.

Goals

• Have created a working menu system.
• Have used enumerations

Formal Description

• The user should be able to explore the world and find ammunition
  • Multiple types ammunition
    • At least scaled with different effects.
    • Perhaps an "instant Kill"
    • Perhaps a shotgun type.
  • This should be implemented as a hierarchy
    • I would derive this from the pickup class, but you can start over if you wish.
  • This be described by at least one enumerated type.
  • The different quantities the user posses should be stored in a primitive inventory.
  • The User should be able to select the type of ammunition to use from a menu system
    • The different quantities of ammunition should be displayed here.
    • Along with a description of what the ammunition does.
• Ammunition should be produced in an ammunition factory.
  • This should be passed enumerators which determine the type and quantity.
  • It should return an ammunition instance
• Ammunition should be placed in the scene by at least two different entities
  • A generic spawner that keeps maintains n different random ammunition types.
    • n should be configurable
  • An ammunition shop that has k of each ammunition type.
    • The user can select ammunition through a menu.
    • The shop will restock j seconds after the player leaves the shop.
    • Both k and j should be configurable.
• You should implement at least one target type that responds differently to being hit by the different ammunition types.
  • It should add to the player's score based on the type of ammo it was hit by.
  • You might even think about changing the score depending on where it was hit.
  • If targets are destroyed in your game, you should provide a mechanism to spawn new targets.
• The player's score, and current ammunition level should be displayed in a HUD graphically.

Documentation

• An overall description of the game and how it was implemented.
  • In this case, it is probably a recap of the information above.
• Pseudo code for all major elements.
• Screen shots for the major algorithms of all elements.
