PROJECT: Fun With Games (FWG1)

OBJECTIVE

Using Vircon32 and its DevTools, write code and design graphics assets that creates some sort of sprite that, with the controller (ie cursor keys), lets you move it, and either recognizes the edges of the screen as boundaries, preventing crossing, or wrap-arounds.

Use the text output functions to display the sprite's X and Y coordinates on the screen.

Use a structure to store pertinent information related to the sprites.

EDIT

You will want to go here to edit and fill in the various sections of the document:

FWG1

structures

defining

struct person {

  char name[32];
  short int age;
  int height;

}

struct person Stanley;

Stanley.age = 34;

Stanely.height = 74;

declaring

int SpaceshipX = screen_width / 2 ; can replace 2 with any number depending on where you want the starting point. Replace x with y for y axis

accessing

displaying sprites on screen

To display sprites on screen, you must first make sure you define their textures. This should be done outside of “main”. Next, (assuming that: 1) the sprite appears in the same image as the background. 2) The background has also been defined outside of main and that texture / region has been selected / defined via functions) you can use “define_region_matrix().” This function will create a matrix, grab the sprite textures based on coordinates, and assign them to the aforementioned texure definitions.

game controller input

you need to let the program know that you have a controller with “select_gamepad();”. In the () you can put 0, 1, 2, or 3 for the gamepad you want to use. 0 is the default.

to get an input from the gamepad, use the gamepad_direction() function and make variables for the x and y directions. You can also check to see if individual buttons are pressed with their respective functions found in the input.h API

 

SUBMISSION

To be successful in this project, the following criteria (or their equivalent) must be met:

  • Project must be submit on time, by the deadline.
    • Late submissions will lose 33% credit per day, with the submission window closing on the 3rd day following the deadline.
  • Executed programs must display in a manner similar to provided output
    • output formatted, where applicable, must match that of project requirements
  • Processing must be correct based on input given and output requested
  • Output, if applicable, must be correct based on values input
  • Code must be nicely and consistently indented
  • Code must be consistently written, to strive for readability from having a consistent style throughout
  • Code must be commented
    • Any “to be implemented” comments MUST be removed
      • these “to be implemented” comments, if still present at evaluation time, will result in points being deducted.
      • Sufficient comments explaining the point of provided logic MUST be present
  • No global variables (without instructor approval), no goto statements, no calling of main()!
  • Track/version the source code in your lab46 semester repository
  • Submit a copy of your source code to me using the submit tool by the deadline.

Submit Tool Usage

Let's say you have completed work on the project, and are ready to submit, you would do the following:

lab46:~/src/SEMESTER/DESIG/PROJECT$ submit DESIG PROJECT file1 file2 file3 ... fileN

You should get some sort of confirmation indicating successful submission if all went according to plan. If not, check for typos and or locational mismatches.

RUBRIC

I'll be evaluating the project based on the following criteria:

104:fwg1:final tally of results (104/104)
*:fwg1:all files needed to build cartridge are submitted [7/7]
*:fwg1:code compiles, cartridge builds with no warning or error [13/13]
*:fwg1:sprite interacts successfully with screen bounds [26/26]
*:fwg1:sprite cleanly moves around the screen with controls [26/26]
*:fwg1:code makes central use of a struct for sprite data [26/26]
*:fwg1:committed project related changes to semester repo [6/6]

Pertaining to the collaborative authoring of project documentation

  • each class member is to participate in the contribution of relevant information and formatting of the documentation
    • minimal member contributions consist of:
      • near the class average edits (a value of at least four productive edits)
      • near the average class content change average (a value of at least 128 bytes (absolute value of data content change))
      • near the class content contribution average (a value of at least 1kiB)
      • no zero-sum commits (adding in one commit then later removing in its entirety for the sake of satisfying edit requirements)
    • adding and formatting data in an organized fashion, aiming to create an informative and readable document that anyone in the class can reference
    • content contributions will be factored into a documentation coefficient, a value multiplied against your actual project submission to influence the end result:
      • no contributions, co-efficient is 0.50
      • less than minimum contributions is 0.75
      • met minimum contribution threshold is 1.00

Additionally

  • Solutions not abiding by spirit of project will be subject to a 50% overall deduction
  • Solutions not utilizing descriptive why and how comments will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
  • Solutions not utilizing indentation to promote scope and clarity or otherwise maintaining consistency in code style and presentation will be subject to a 25% overall deduction
  • Solutions not organized and easy to read (assume a terminal at least 90 characters wide, 40 characters tall) are subject to a 25% overall deduction
