Spearman

My spearman project effectively turned out exactly how I described it. It's a 2D interactive game where you control a stickman that throws spears at computer-generated enemies. You must hit the enemy 5 times in order to kill them, and you die if they hit you 3 times. You also have the ability to control the path of the arrow by adjusting its angle and velocity, which more or less will be around the same for each shot. The enemies spawn in a controlled area at the top right of the stage and shoot arrows at the player. I didn't create a 2 player mode, but I'm thinking about adding it later on. Even though I reached my intended result, there were a lot of issues like animating characters, stepping time so that everything works in real-time and generating the sprites. It came out with some bugs, but overall, I'm proud of my work.

2D Scratch Game



 My scratch game is going to be a 2D player vs enemy game. The player stands on a platform at the bottom left of the stage, and enemies spawn on platforms anywhere on the right side of the stage. The player has a spear which they have to throw at the enemies, with the objective of killing them before the enemy can fire an arrow at the player. The enemies will fire arrows at the player, and will successfully kill the player if they hit them with 3 arrows. Simple physics will be used for the direction of the arrows, such as the parabolic arcs and power put into each shot. I'm considering whether to add a 2 player mode, as the mechanics will work the same, but with someone controlling the bow and arrows.
