Shapeman Assignment

Sprites

All Sprites were made using Game Maker.

Pentagon (spr_me) (spr_pentagon)(spr_pentagon2) (spr_enemy)

Diamond (spr_diamond) (spr_diamond)2

Arrow (spr_arrow) (spr_arrow)2

Circle (spr_circle) (spr_arrow)2

Curved Square (spr_curvedsquare) (spr_curvedsquare)2

Wall (spr_wall)

Objects

All sprites in the game are the same as the objects

 (obj_me) (obj_pentagon) (obj_pentagon) 2 (obj_enemy)

 (obj_diamond) (obj_diamond)2

 (obj_arrow) (obj_arrow)2

 (obj_circle) (obj_circle)2

 (obj_curvedsquare) (obj_curvedsquare)2

 (obj_wall)

Rooms

Rooms were also made using Game Maker.

Turns you into that shape =

Enemies =

Process

Object: obj_me (create: Execute a piece of code) (create: set the friction)

This is to control the variables                                     To be able to stop the character moving

Object: obj_me (begin step: Execute a piece of code)

A ground check

Object: obj_me (collision with: obj_diamond, obj_circle, obj_arrow, obj_curvedsquare and obj_pentagon)

So when obj_me touches any of those objects, they will turn into the objects duplicate.

Object: obj_me (left, right, up, down: Set moving in direction)

So that when you, for example, press the left arrow key, your character moves left.

Object: obj_enemy (create: execute a piece of code)

To make the enemy wander about in a random direction

Object: obj_enemy (alarm 0: execute a piece of code)

Another code to make the enemy change direction.

Object: obj_enemy (Step: Execute a piece of code)

The speed that the enemy should be moving in.

Object: obj_enemy (Collision with obj_me: execute a piece of code)

To make sure that when the playable shape touches an enemy of the same shape, the enemy dies.

Object: obj_enemy (collision with obj_wall: bounce against solid objects)

To make sure that the enemies aren’t able to fall out of the game.

Object: obj_enemy (draw: execute a piece of code)

So that the code to make sure shapes kill each other know which shapes are meant to die or kill.

Object: obj_controller (create: execute a piece of code (x2) and draw the value of score)

To be able to set the score when you earn one

Object: obj_controller (Step: Execute a piece of code (x2))

To set the countdown for when the enemies change shape.

Object: obj_controller (Draw: Execute a piece of code)

To set the font and font colour of the score.

Improvements I would make are to have better coding, better looking sprites, being able to search for the right thing to be able to get the game working.
