Flashback : Final Pseudocode
Platform game
Platform game, or platformer, is a video game genre characterized by the character having to climb up and down, or jump from and to, platforms and ledges, while fighting enemies and collecting objects required to fully complete the game. Often, the player has the ability to gain powers or weapons, called power-ups. Generally, platform games, due to their unrealistic nature, have cartoon-like graphics, and may appear to be hand-drawn. In addition, platformers' character and adversaries are usually legendary creatures (e.g. dragons and goblins) or anthropomorphic animals (e.g. a gorilla who rolls barrels).
Platform games originated in the early 1980s and made the transition to 3D in the mid-1990s. Sometime after the genre's inception, the term came to describe games where jumping on platforms, as opposed to shooting, was the main gameplay focus. However, many platform games feature projectile weapons, including the Mario and Castlevania franchises.
Project Proposal for Platform Game
**I will need Arrays and possibly For Loops
**Functions
**Variables
**Code to make the game scroll horizontally
1. Need a character
2. Environment
3 Movement of character - left and right Key left and key right for movement of character
4. Gravity and jumping for the character - Key up and Key down functions for the jumping
5. Hit Test to make sure whether character has hit a wall or ground or whatever.
6. Collision Detection - to pick up rewards, to kill enemies or for enemies to kill characters.
7. Scoring
8. Enemies
9. Obstacles the character has to get through
10. Life of character.
11. Probably some math functions??
Tetris
Tetris is a puzzle game invented by Alexey Pazhitnov (last name sometimes transliterated Pajitnov) in 1985, while he was working for the Academy of Sciences in Moscow, Russia during the days of the Soviet Union. Pajitnov has cited pentominoes as a source of inspiration for the game. Its name is derived from the Russain word "tetra" meaning four, as all of the blocks are made up of four segments. In an interview with G4 on the subject of tetris' creation, Pajitnov has also stated that the only other game he really liked at the time was tennis. And thus, by combining "tetra" and "tennis", he created the word "tetris".
The game (or one of its many variants) is available for nearly every video game console and computer operating system, as well as on devices such as graphing calculators, mobile phones, and PDAs. Tetris has even appeared as part of an art exhibition on the side of Brown University's 14-story Sciences Library [1]. The game first gained mainstream exposure and popularity beginning in 1989 when Nintendo released it for Game Boy. Tetris consistently appears on lists of the greatest video games of all time; it is believed to be the best selling game ever, due to its wide availability on almost every modern computer and game system made.
Project Proposal for Tetris
1. Environment where the game will be played, which is usually a rectangular space.
2. The square/tiles needed to play the game.
3. Arrays to hold the squares/tiles (to create the patterns), 2 dimensional arrays that hold one's and zero's
4. Variables, width, height, state of the game, bricks, hit, score, level, etc
5. Functions to start game
6. Code to make the squares/tiles to come down
7. Hit test, to figure out when the squares/tiles have hit the ground
8. Code to make the row that has been completed to be removed
9. Move left and right functions, to move the squares/tiles around
10. Change state function, to get the squares/tiles to rotate
11. Controls - Key up, Key down, Key Left, Key Right
12. Codes for leveling up, scoring and game over.

Flashback : Midterm Project Paper Dollies
Midterm Project. I decided to combine two of the Paper Doll games I did into one. Each of the clothing has it's own target, so if you tried to drag the wrong outfit to the wrong doll...it just won't stick. Have fun playing with the dolls!!!
