old-dyehard-todelete's Issues

Add artwork (sprites)

Add back in a hero color trail

Dye particle/impact effects

New enemy movement pattern

Add walls between pipes

Partially complete. Still need to implement gaps to allow transition between gateways.

Read Design Document

Optimize Performance for MSFT demo

Add new Debris artwork when available

Implement Powerups

Implement Space Debris

Weapon Modifications

• Fire rate (2 versions)
  • Limit how often can shoot
  • Have an overheat meter
• Stun gun
  • stun enemies for 2 seconds after hitting them

Implement Game-wide remove() methods

Hero collision timing

Fix hero collision timing bug.

Recycle star objects instead of destroying/remaking

Scoring system

Something really basic for now. See the design document.

Dye enemies with hero weapon

Add a User Code section

Potentially, the "User Code section" will be a class/interface that provides to the game the set of powerups and the set of enemies (that can then be randomly selected from when the game is generating powerups and enemies). This allows student users to inject in subtypes of powerups and enemies to be incorporated into the game.

This User Code section may, or may not be a subtype of the Game class... TBD.

This should be implemented after everything else is pretty much done.

Add momentum and gravity to hero.

Add deathwalls to Rainbow

Implement Preloading of Textures

Also, somewhat related, consider object "pools" which otherwise destroyed objects can be recycled into.

Convert object motion to use library velocity

Fix collision during high velocity hero movement

Power-ups

Implement 4 basic power-ups & associated power-up meters (no power-downs yet)

Implement Framework for Spaceship in Background

Crash!!!!!

Game crashes randomly. Heres the dump:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
  HResult=-2147467261
  Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Add Distance Traveled

I think this will need to be done with a square, with a label on it. I wonder if the square can have a transparent color...?

Multi-object collisions

Add hero gravity back

Add Enemies

Should be able to kill hero.

4/30/14 Small Changes Task List

• change game to 1080p
• smaller, more maze-like debris
• twice as many dye packs
• boundary at 5/6ths screen
