Please read this file for instructions on how to play, along -with a pointer about technical issues. - -I'm adding the entire assignment_2022_master folder to the gitlab repo, just so I don't miss anything that -the assignment is dependent on. +Here's the READ_ME for this updated version of the assignment. (Completed 18/07/22) # TECHNICAL ISSUES AND BUGS -I couldn't get the batch files to compile everything to run the program. Sorry! If you went ahead and built -the batch file, it should work, in theory. I think it's some sort of dependency issue on my side, so running -the batch file should work fine for you (in theory). +Unsurprisingly, I *still* can't get the files to compile properly. Feel free to let me know if you can +figure out where it's going wrong. The program itself *should* compile properly, and for all intents and +purposes, be a functional program. According to Visual Studio, there's no errors in the code itself (besides the include errors that come from not being able to compile the program properly, but those would be fixed if I just knew how to figure out the build process.) -Also, the system for collecting the red cubes is extremely wonky. You have to be exactly on the right spot, -or else it won't register. +While I haven't been able to test the game yet, there shouldn't be any obvious bugs I can think of. # HOW TO PLAY -You are the blue cube. Collect red cubes to increase your score, which is displayed in the top left corner -of the window. Collect as many cubes as possible within the sixty second time limit, at which point your -score is reset. To collect a cube, simply move your character over it, so that your co-ordinates are the same. -When a red cube is collected, a new red cube is placed at a random point in the frame, between specific points. \ No newline at end of file +Upon starting the program, you should be greeted with the title screen. Press A or D to begin gameplay. + +Press A to move your paddle left, press D to move your paddle to the right. Prevent the ball from hitting the bottom of the boundaries for as long as possible by hitting it with the top of your paddle. The ball will increase its speed every 60 frames (1 second). + +When the ball inevitably hits the bottom of the screen, you'll be greeted with a game over screen, along with your time score. Press A or D to restart gameplay. + + -- GitLab
