Shapeman

ShapeMan

Right its time to create a game

Create a 2D Maze game with a difference

This game is a pacman variant.

There are 5 basic shapes. Circle, cross, triangle, square and pentagon. 

The enemy characters move from shape to shape (all together at same time). The player can change shape as well. If the player is the same shape as the enemy he/she can kill them. However if they are different the player dies.

As above we see the player is a circle and the enemy are crosses. So the player would die if he is touched by them. However the enemy at some random time in the future changes shape. In the centre a 1 is shown, this shows that the next shape the enemy will take has one side (a circle). So the player needs to time changing shape (his does this by moving around the map to the corners where the 4 basic shapes are), also in the middle at the bottom is a circle.

The player (like pacman) can collect pills for extra score.

I want a funky background track and sound effects.

For a better game add …

More shapes the enemy and play can be

Walls that move and morf.

Theme for this game is abstract..

Hints:
Step 1: Create all sprites needed for game
step 2: Create all sounds / music for games (or get free samples)
step 3: figure out the coding (I will show another week how to do this)
step 4: test as you develop the game.
