TMX Tiled Map

• Game utilizes a tiled XML based map system to draw the game world or ‘map’

• The map is made up of a grid of painted tiles select from a tileset• The camera can pan around the entirety of the map and tiles can be

assigned various properties to cause interactions with game entities, such as spawning a monster at that location or preventing entities from passing through solid textures.

Collisions in the world

Tiles intended to be impenetrable are given the ‘solid property’

Game logic prevents entities from passing through them by stopping them when a predicted move would place the bounding rectangle inside a ‘solid’ tile.

Entity InteractionWhen player and enemy bounding boxes overlap a collision is detected and the player takes damage

When the player attacks, coordinate math is used to see if a monster is in range, and the 2d vector between the two entities is used to determine if the player is facing the right direction. If proper conditions are met, the monster gets hit.

Sprites

•Incorporated better movements to enemies

•Mr. Beans now moves in not only along the axis of compass, but also along the eight directions.

•This makes the interaction between hero and the enemy more interesting, with enemies coming from different directions.

Projected targets and achieved results in the sprints

A short summary of our progress

•‘Newbies’ to Android game development platform

•Made us dedicate a complete sprint (2 weeks) to just ‘familiarize’ with the platform

•Got know how of Android SDK, Andengine, related plugins in Eclipse and few game examples.

•Meetings helped us in chalking out a possible idea for game.

Sprint 1- The base is built

•For ease of problem solving and to distribute tasks, we made two teams: Team PC & Team MAC.

•Results : All of the objectives set for Sprint 1 were achieved.

Sprint 1 (Cont'd)

•Once we were familiar with android game development, we started to develop a prototype

•It was mutually decided improvisation and further development could be carried in the last, i.e. Sprint 3

Sprint 2- Develop a basic working prototype

•On screen controls and display elements should be made functional•Enemies and hero’s weapons should be working•Map and relevant structures created.•Screen boundaries and collisions with entities / textures.•‘Start’ and ‘Pause’Menu For Game.•Results : Though All of the objectives set for Sprint 2 were achieved, polishing of some of the objectives would come with other related work in Sprint3.

Sprint 2- Cont'd

•By the end of Sprint 2, we had a working prototype ready. In Sprint3, we decided to implement improvisations to our model.•Hero-Enemy Interaction•Interactive sound effects•In game hero health and score meters•Implementing ‘BOSS’ enemy (Gabbar)•A attractive startup screen•More maps, enemies and levels, Screen transition between levels.

Sprint 3- Improvisation & Enhancement

•Results : With almost all of the aforementioned objectives achieved, we were able to complete our project well in time.

• We have came to believe that once the necessary improvisations were done to the game, development of new levels and maps would be comparatively easier than scripting the entire game from scratch.

Sprint 3- Cont'd
