Proof of Concept To Do List

[RobDavenport]

These are the steps we need to take in order to complete a proof of concept for the game.

Main Topics

• Characters can move left/right
• Characters can jump
• Characters can bonk
• Characters can respawn
• Characters are drawn using art assets

Characters can move left/right

• Add the characters to the physics system & store their handles in components
• Add a ground plane or other surface.
• Add ability for ground plane to block characters.
• Players positions are affected by input velocity.

Characters can Jump

• Create a player state enum, for tracking grounded, jumping, etc
• Inside of check input_system if the user presses a button & they are grounded,
• If ok, give them some vertical velocity.
• Update the enum to the jumping state.

Characters can bonk

• Check for collisions between players
• If a player is above (self.y > other.y) another & their velocity is downards, bonk em

Characters can respawn

• Any player who is bonk'ed is respawned at a random position within the play area.
• Reset any related physics things.

Characters are drawn using art assets

• Import the art assets, generate palettes, as necessary
• Convert them to the Gamercade sprite format using the editor
• Set player images to these sprites & draw them
