Installation

Prerequisites: Make sure that the following dependencies are installed on your machine:

• Git
• Java JDK 21
• JavaFX21

Install Game: Navigate to your local game directory and add necessary packages (set up JDK and JavaFX)

Motivation

We are working with this game as our project lab of Object Oriented Programming is a 4-credit course. During our investigation into how to create 2D games with Java, we remembered the Chicken Invaders game which was popular in our childhood.

Specifications

• JDK 21
• Javafx
• Scene Builder
• Aesprite
• Apache Maven

Features

• Tutorials:

  • Try to survive as long as you can and eliminate chickens to get the highest score
  • You only have 3 lives to sustain throughout the entirety of the game
  • For each chicken get destroyed you will earn 2 points, however, if one of them get passed, you will lose 4 points. You lose the game when either your score is 0 or you lost all 3 lives
  • When reaching to certain points, your bullet will level up with bigger and faster bullet
  • Use mouse to move; A, S or Mouse click to shoot

• General:

  • START: start the game
  • TUTORIAL: introduce instructions on how to play the game
  • CREDITS: introduce the authors and developers who made this game
  • EXIT: exit the game

• Design

• UML

Challenges

• Working with Existing Code: It was difficult to understand and develop for the existing codebase, sometimes it was hard to develop new features as all classes and packages are fixed
• Balancing Difficulty: Finding the right balance to make the game challenging but not too hard for gamers was a tough task.
• Using JavaFX Framework: As we were not familiar with the JavaFX framework, it was challenging to use it effectively.

Acknowledgments

• We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the success of our OOP game project. This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the contribution of each member.
• We’re grateful for the feedback and suggestions from our friends. Their insights have significantly improved the game experience. Thank you to our beta testers who volunteered their time to help us refine our game.

Important

This project utilizes several open-source tools, OpenAI, and libraries, and we extend our gratitude to the developers and maintainers of these resources. Your work has been vital in bringing our game to life.
