Mandatory Assignment in Advanced Software Construction

Idea:

To define a Library with classes that together form a mini framework for turn based 2D game by using different tools and techniques from the course.
But you should not support any GUI.

To be inspired look at Greenfoot see main page or the API refrences they are working with a world and with actors,
but also GUI (which in this assignment is out of scope).

In this library you are to focused on creating a world with different creatures (of your flavour), which could have different protection (shield, magic etc)
and different attack possibilities (weapon, magic, army etc).

Deadlines and Delivery:

You must work individual - but it is allowed to talk and be inspired by each other.

Date 17^th March to 21^st April

Work with the assignment in the period 17^th March to 21^th April

Date 21^st April

Demonstration of the libraries in class between 0:30 PM and 3 PM.

And make a demo - see plan for demos

Detailed description:

(Changes and precessions may occur during working period)

You must create a Library with classes that together form a mini framework for turn based 2D game where you have a world, creatures and objects (e.g. obsticles).
You do not need to make any report.

In your solution, you must have following element presents:

• A world ( some 2D playground)
   
• Creatures (which have a posistion in the world)
   
• Objects (with a fixed posistion)
            some should be removable from the world and some could hold bonus or drawbacks (new weapon, new shield, hitpoints, some anti protection or ... )
   
• Attack objects (weapon, magic, ...)
   
• Defence objects (Shield, boots, .... )
    
• Creatures can hit other creatures
   
• Creatures can pick objects (if the object can be picked), whereby the creature kan get weapon, shield, magic, hitpoints, or like.
   
• Creature can die if life-point are zero or below
   
• The framework must follow the principles of SOLID
   
• The framework make use of iterations and LINQ
   
• At least three of following Design Pattern
  1. Template
  2. State
  3. Composite
  4. Observer
  5. Decorator
  6. Stategy
  7. Factory (Abstract Factory)
     

I think you should have following classes (develope appropriated interfaces according to SOLID principles)

• World (ideas to properties size in x,y + list of creatures/objects)
• Creature (ideas to properties list of attack/defence, methods Hit, ReceiveHit, Pick)
• GameObject (placed in world, can be removeable)
• Attack Object (Placed at Creature, a possibillity also in bonus boxes; ideas to properties hitpoint, range, description)
• Defence Object (Placed at Creature, a possibillity also in bonus boxes; ideas to properties reduceHitPoint, description)

Consider if hit is the sum of hitpoint in attack objects or only an individual object, a like for defence just the sum of reduceHitPoint
Consider if any state can give general super power or special weakness. (like Mario)
Consider if any AbstractClasses with template method
Consider if all objects and creatures should have an id

Some Hints : see Hints.pdf

For more investigation (If you like)

• A game loop, where in each loop all creatures do a move and possibly a hit or pick a an object
• Creatures can move, the movement in one turn is always shortest way e.g. X=3 steps Y= -10 steps, it is possible to check if any objects / obsticals are in a way.
