Overview

Game Maker & Player

I created a game maker engine that allows the user to create basic arcade games. The game maker window is divided into three sections. First, there is a properties pane that can be used to edit Sprite properties including color, height, key press events, display text, and collision behaviors between sprites. Next, a game control pane is dedicated to housing buttons such as load/save game, new level, and play the game. Finally, a game preview pane is dedicated to see the preview of created Sprite objects with the applied properties. When the game is played, the game design is copied into a new scene that contains all the Sprites and their user-defined behaviors.

Video Demo

In the following assignment, we swapped codebases with another team to simulate reviewing legacy code.
Then, we expanded it to offer 4 games. Here, I show how to build Space Invaders with our application.

Features

Game Maker

• Design classic arcade games including Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Centipede, and Frogger
• Create sprites (game objects) and assign them properties
• Assign event handlers at runtime to control how the sprite behaves for:
• Key events
• Mouse events
• Collision events
• Time events
• Set up conditional events
• Ex: If the other sprite is a 'wall' then 'reflect' when colliding with it

Game Player

• Can play the game without affecting the game design
• Saves the game design to be loaded back at any time
• Has support for geometric sprites as well as displays (text, stopwatches, clocks)
