Midterm In Progress

Catching fallen stars(Taiwanese Version)

INSPIRATION:

There is a Taiwanese myth about catching fallen stars to make a wish come true. I intend to create a game that consists of a traditional Taiwanese bamboo woven basket and white stars falling from the night sky.

RULES:

The way to win is to collect a set number of stars. The player would be faced with fallen meteoroids, plastic trash, and satellite remains. They have three lives in total and loses the game when all three lives are wasted. However, players can catch Taiwanese street food to restore lost lives.

OBJECTS:

Array to store these objects

• Background: import an image of Taiwanese famous night sky
• Sound:
  1. Background music: summer night time in Taiwanese mountains
  2. Fallen objects: all have their respective sounds
• Object behavior:
  1. Meteoroids: will look like a fallen star at first, but will enlarge and transform into a disastrous meteoroid
  2. Plastic trash: if it hits the basket, the player would be paralyzed for 1-2 second
  3. Satellite: falling with extremely fast speed
  4. Food: will be moving from side to side

CODES (FOR NOW):

PImage sky;
  
void setup(){
  size (512,1024);
  //drag image into processing and it creates a file in the folder
  sky = loadImage("pinxi sky lantern.jpeg");
  noStroke();
}

void draw (){
image (sky,0,0);
}

VISUALS: 

Should extend the photo to cover the vertical interface!

P.S:

Will attempt to add a lot of Taiwanese related elements (images, sounds, stories…)
