Development Methodology• Core development is done in parallel
• Kevin works on A.I., Matthew works on menu• A.I. and menu system integrated together
• Unity game engine (free version)• C# used for script development
• Most art assets are created using Blender• some projectiles created within Unity

Development Methodology cont.• Iterative Use Case Driven Development
• 23 cases total• 2 - 3 life cycles for each case• requirements • development • testing
• Weekly Updates• Senior project instructor: Professor Duncan• Technical advisor: Professor Bahrt

Version Control• Google Code
• cloud storage
• Tortoise SVN (Subversion)• version control system
• WinMerge• manual file merging

Testing
• Testing occurred during each feature implementation
• Play testing using multiple subjects for feedback

Unity!• Compared to Unreal Engine 3, Unity gave
us:• ability to layer objects for collision
• on the fly variable changes using the Inspector
• on the fly compilation when executed in the editor
• rapid implementation of the game

Graphical User Interface• Link menu system to empty Game Object
• developed using Unity’s stock GUI system
• switch between menus using a delegate • a data type that references a method• behaves like method once assigned one
• HUD (Heads Up Display)• also uses Unity stock GUI system• textures used for health & power-up meters
and for ammo and power-up type icons

How we designed our maps
Example layout created with MS Paint
Layout of maze when generated within Unity

Artificial Intelligence
• Enemy tank
• Enemy turret
• Enemy mobile mine
• Group level behavior

Procedural Maze Generation• Given the dimensions of the space, structure
of existing rooms, the start point, and end points.
• Based on available space from unconnected Doors to edges determine all possible rooms to place
• Remove rooms from possible rooms that conflict with others
• Select room from possible rooms.• Create, and place selected room.

Lessons Learned• Developing the game using C++ and DirectX
• integration• knowledge
• Procedural Room Generation
• Explosion SFX• one reference script for each explosion
• We overcame each other’s differences
