Game Ideas

For the assignment we will implement a 2-D bumper-spaceship game with some sort of forces acting on your ships, and with movement done by applying a force from the thruster to your spaceship.

• n-number of players
• When you hit a wall it absorbs some energy[user defined].
• Need at least 2 forces - engine, and other force (gravity).
• Random very simple AI for other ships.
• We will write ui stuff(keyboard), and graphics stuff.
• You write updatePos(t) & colission detection.
• You define how walls react. We'll provide a super-class for an interface.
• You define forces. - Once again we'll define the super-class.

• Euler integrate rotations.
• Put a stick on your players that when hit makes them spin appropriately (torque).
• Add more complex forces - Vortices, etc.
• Write a game that bends space/time and causes the universe to implode.
