Programming Homework Help

In this project you will be making a game:

• Target objects will move from the top of the screen to the bottom
  • the objects must be stored in parallel arrays
  • the objects must be drawn by the same function
  • there must be at least two visually different types of object
  • the objects will be released according to a timer
  • if the object reaches the bottom of the screen, the object will be removed and the score updated
• There must be a shooter at the bottom of the screen
  • it will fire “attack objects” (i.e. bullets, missiles, arrows, hearts, whatever) in the direction the shooter is facing
  • the shooter will not move but will change facing using arrow keys
  • the shooter will be drawn by a function
  • the shooter will not fire an attack object if there are too many on the screen
• Attack objects will move from the shooter in the direction the shooter is facing
  • no more than 5 objects at one time on the screen
  • the objects must be stored in parallel arrays
  • the objects must be drawn by the same function
  • if the object intersects with a target object, both objects are removed and the score is updated
  • if the object moves off of the screen, the object is removed
• There must be a score visible on the screen
  • the score should start at zero
  • the score will always be visible (i.e. top of the z-order)
  • the score will be updated as needed by other objects
• There must be a “reset” button on the screen
  • the button must be clickable by the mouse
  • clicking the button will restart the game to its initial state including the score

For this game I referred to the “top” and the “bottom” of the screen. You do not have to use the top or the bottom, just use two opposite sides of the screen .
