My midterm game has been very much inspired by flappy birds. It follows very much the same concept, the character has to jump and go through the columns not touching them, otherwise, it falls and fails to win the game. With this game, however, my character was a scuba diver discovering the underwater world, if it gets hit by a column he will drown. There’s no such purpose to what the game does, the main goal is to go as far as possible and collect scores.
The Main Character is a ScobaDiver and the obstacles are the columns. The Main Character is controlled by mousePressed() and jumps on a y-axis, measured by gravity instantiated by vy each time. Even though the game might not have distinct levels, speed increases each time score goes more than 5, 10, and 20. The game keeps track of previous scores and displays the best and the current score, while the user is playing the game.
The interface of the game functions by clicking the game window to start the game, and press the spacebar to restart the game. The picture of the character is animated by sprite sheet and makes it seem as if the diver is swimming underwater while passes by moving background and columns.
