Experience the thrill of a 2D fighting game, paying homage to the iconic Street Fighter series. Engage in intense combat between a user-controlled player and a challenging enemy AI. Unleash your combat skills and master the game controls!
The architecture of the game leverages the object-oriented programming paradigm offered by C#. It's neatly divided into modular classes to encapsulate functionalities:
GameLogic: The backbone of the game, orchestrating core mechanics such as movements, collision detections, and handling user actions like punches and fireballs.Player: Dedicated to the player's character, this class manages animations, actions, health, and movements.Enemy: Controls the enemy AI, its animations, actions, and health. The AI has a simple behavior: it detects proximity to the player and reacts by attacking.
The primary interface, Form1, built on .NET's Windows Forms, is responsible for rendering the game's graphics, capturing user inputs, and coordinating game events.
- Images: Inside Resources.
- Sounds: Inside Resources.
- Classes:
GameLogic.cs: Houses the game's engine.Player.cs: Manages player dynamics.Enemy.cs: Controls enemy behaviors.Form1.cs: The game's GUI and main event loop.
Utilizing Windows Forms Timer, the game refreshes via a consistent game loop (gameTimer), which ticks every 20 milliseconds, invoking the GameTimerEvent. This mechanism ensures smooth graphics rendering, character position updates, collision checks, and more.
The game's visual elements are drawn using the Graphics class in .NET's Windows Forms during the Paint event. The FormPaintEvent method is tasked with layering the game visuals such as backgrounds, characters, and action animations.
Harness the power of keyboard inputs to command the player:
- Arrow Left: Navigate left.
- Arrow Right: Navigate right.
- Z: Unleash a punch.
- X: Deliver a stronger punch.
- C: Shoot a fireball.
- M: Change the background.
Crafted with logic, the enemy character uses a rudimentary AI. It consistently evaluates its distance from the player, ensuring it remains within attack range. Furthermore, the AI smartly ensures the enemy doesn't wander off the screen.
