Spiders

[CastielM]

Description

The main purpose of this pull request was to add enemy functionality to the game, however there have also been some bug fixes and design tweaks during this process. Please refer to commit bff6059 (May 12th) onwards as this is where the branch deviates from main/pull request 187. I plan to created a another PR shortly to create documentation to assist with future work on this game.

A summary of most significant changes is as follows

• Added enemy functionality

  • Player can now collide with enemies. Lives and respawn functionally added
  • Enemies can now move. Left/right only
  • Functions added to prevent boxes being pushed over enemies (future mechanic idea could be to have boxes able to
    destroy enemies)
  • Damage sound effect added
  • Game over message and sound effect added. Returns player to start screen

• Design/aesthetic changes

  • Changed staircase to a campfire that lights up when all gems are collected
  • Added sound effect for campfire
  • Changed gems to ruby variant
  • Added a new level (see level 3, old level 3 has become level 4)
  • Added basic win message at end of game. Returns player to start screen

• Other fixes

  • Boxes now cannot be pushed onto campfire but player can still walk over it
  • Segmentation fault in 'remove_gem' method fixed
  • Gave program.cpp ownership over lives. Worth nothing that program.cpp acts as an overarching 'game' that keeps track
    of the level count and win conditions, while game.cpp controls (primarily) individual levels. Refactor would be useful in
    future
  • Gave game.cpp full ownership over gem count instead of player.cpp
  • Added a 'debugeasymode' variable to allow easier level completion when testing
  • Mitigated issue with spiders occasionally getting stuck in boxes
  • Fixed bug where box would get stranded between tiles on death
  • Other minor tweaks throughout

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested individually by myself. Have played the game in full and attempted numerous scenarios to test for issues. I may create a recommendation report as part of my documentation PR as there's a few things I that could be improved on, but nothing I can find that is game-breaking. Tested on Windows.

Checklist

• My code follows the style guidelines of this project
• I have performed a self-review of my own code
• I have commented my code in hard-to-understand areas
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
  - This will be forthcoming in a new PR. There is very little existing documentation so this will be a larger job.
• My changes generate no new warnings
  - Game generates a "libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile". Not sure if this is device specific or if it existed
  before but does not appear to impact game.
• I will request a review from Adv Games Dev Team via Teams and Trello
