Grew up playing 2-player Flash games, so I decided to create this! Built using Java and Processing IDE
Demo Here: https://youtu.be/xZPoyh0fBHc
~ 2 Player game
~ Interact dynamically with the environment, such as collecting objects, dodging obstacles, or interacting with various in-game elements
~ Every round, there is one player that is "it" (displayed on dashboard)
~ Eating the poisons lowers speed, eating the peaches gains speed for the respective player
~ Peaches and poisons regenerate after a certain amount is eaten
~ Animated characters (character image frames reflect direction of movement, player's foot moves at a constant frame rate)
~ A scoring system based on the number of successive rounds won
~ A dashboard displaying score, speed, the player that is 'it'
~ Sound effects when you collect the gold coin and tag the other player
~ Gain invisibility for a few seconds by collecting the gold coin! (Player won't be able to collect or collide with the obstacles, peaches, or poisons when they are invisible)
~ Use crates as shields from the fighter cat and man (but not the opponent!)
~ The fighter cat and man have varying velocities and starting positions for each round
~ Colliding with the fighter cat and man nudges the player toward the center of the screen
~ Hitting the wall restarts the round
What I want to add:
~ Adding AI smart characters (by implementing A* algorithm where the graph cells are converted to nodes and they're marked as walkable as the players traverse the map)
~ Enhancing UI by adding background and customized & animated pixel characters
~ Adding a pause and sound toggle button on the dashboard
