PrisonBreak

Information about the PrisonBreak project for the 3rd years at SintLucas

OOP - How unity works under the hood.

Learning goals:

Objects / classes / inheritance / Polimorphism

Assignment:

Development of a simple game based on a data model built in class. Prison break, Get items to escape a building.

Description & requirements:

• Create a abstract class Item with a name and a weight
• Create two types of items:
  • AccessItem: keeps an extra int that has the id of the door it opens.
  • BonusItem: keeps the amount of points you get for this item.
• Create a MonoBehaviour derived class Inventory that keeps a List and caches the total weight.
• The Inventory should only allow to add items if the total weight does not pass the MaximumWeight.
• Create a level where you need to find a key and optionally some hidden objects to get points.
• Do not create a way to open the last door. That's for the next assignment.

Data models, working with data. (reiteration of Classes that do not inherit from MonoBehaviour) and Collections

Learning goals:

Arrays, Lists, Dictionaries, Generic classes Writing/reading files/data to and from online sources. Using the SimpleJSON library for C#.

Assignment:

Create a visualization for external data within the prison. Use the data as a way to open the door.

For example:

• Create a room on the prison where there is a projector displaying data from an API for example:
  • http://api.icndb.com/jokes/random?limitTo=[nerdy] => Chuck Norris Jokes.
  • [Any API with 500+ public API's of all types] (https://any-api.com/)
  • Collective list of public API's for many things
  • Awesome comic XKCD API to get all the comics

Module 3

Generative algorithms. Seed controlled generation. Generating terrains.

Working with random seeds, generative techniques, working with terrains.

Assignment:

After getting out of jail escape the island. So generate an island.

• Generate the terrain
• Create a new inventory item RaftPart
• Spread RaftParts through the terrain (Randomly/generatively gives extra points but could also be manually).
