GameBoi is the final group project for CSC207 Software Design course. The assignment was to create a game with multiple levels, a scoring system, and allow users to sign in and resume previous games. It requires a minimum of 3 levels, with each level being structurally different, and user statistics that need to be tracked and allow for user customizations.
The goal of the project was the implement Clean Architecture design principles and Design Patterns, with proper Packaging of files. The course taught object-oriented programming using Java and version control with Git.
The project was split into two phases. Phase 1 was to have a base version of the game with basic levels to have a base structure finished with file saving. Phase 2 is the final version of the game, with all levels fully implemented with a working scoreboard, with design principles and patterns enforced.
- Level 1: Math Game
- Level 2: Flashing Colours Game
- Level 3: Rock Paper Scissors Game
- Bonus Rounds: Bonus Multiplier Spinner
See list at bottom of README.md for more information on each game level.
The game starts at a login screen that shows 3 users that are in the file. If no users have been created, you will need to create a new user. where you will be taken to a new screen that lets you pick your 3 customizations for your user. The customizations are icon, background colour and number of lives.
After the customizations are complete you will begin playing the Math Game, then Flash Colours, and lastly the user plays the Rock Paper Scissors game, with a Bonus Multiplier game after each. Finally, the player visits the final screen, which is a leader board screen that displays the top three scorers that have played Gameboi. The leaderboard can also be sorted by other player stats such as current score, high score, multiplier, lives.

The player reaches this round after every level where they are given the opportunity to increase their multiplier. The multiplier can be increased by 1x, 2x, 3x., with different probabilities of landing on each section.
The player would press the SPIN button to have the wheel rotate. Whichever section of the Bonus Wheel that it lands on, denoted by the arrow pointer at the top, is then multiplied by the User's current multiplier to get their new multiplier. The spinnerwheel.png and pointer.png were made from scratch using Figma to draw the images.

This level asks the player a series of math questions. If the player answers 3 incorrectly they lose a life and the game ends. Every question they answer correct, adds 1 point to their score. There are a total of 10 possible rounds. After the player completes the Math game with at least 1 life remaining, they can move on to next level.

This levels starts once the player presses the 'start' button, at which point a button will flash a series of colours at random. The player must remember the pattern and click the colours corresponding to the pattern they saw. If they correctly match the pattern, they will earn a point. If they lose two rounds, they lose this level. There are a total of 4 rounds before the player can continue the game.
There is a hidden feature of this level where if the player enters a particular combination based on their chosen difficulty, their multiplier is increased by a factor of 2.
Normal: Blue, Red, Green Yellow
Hard: Blue, White, Red, Green, Yellow, Black

This level lets the player play a game of rock paper scissors against the computer. If the player loses 2 rounds first then they lose the rock paper scissors game. If the player wins 3 rounds before losing two, then they win the rock paper scissors game. In the hard mode of this game, there are two more options to play which increases the difficulty of winning.
Hidden Feature: In the easy round the player needs to select Scissors and the computer needs to randomly choose Rock. This combo "Scissors", "Rock" increases the player's multiplier.
