We made this game in fall, 2011 for the course called Introduction to Computer Games. This is the course which I meet game programming and love it. Obviously, this was my favourite course, I always looked forward to this course whole week. Other than those, another thing that I remember is how excited and enthusiastic I was. I hope these never ends.
Let's talk about the game now. It's side scrolling 2D platform game. We are trying to save Ali, who is the main character, from alien invasion. He is on the roof of the buildings during this escape. He shouldn't fall into the gaps between buildings and hit aliens. Also, there are four bonuses he can take. These are super jump, temporary protection, speed up and whistle. The goal of the game is finishing the levels faster.
We programmed this game in Java and used Slick2D library. This was a good and rough experience. I remember that we had trouble coding jumping. Because we wanted to simulate gravity in a right way. The character was shaking when he touches the ground. But we did some value changing and solved the problem.
And finally this game came out:
We made this "How to play" screen but some people didn't go there and they never used the bonuses.
