#PsychoHero A Java based 2D top-down shooter game demo for desktop. Developed for the course TDA367, "Objektorienterat programmeringsprojekt".
You play as the Hero, an office worker who one day had enough of his job and turned insane. Your goal is to help the Hero eliminate all his annoying co-workers and ultimately finish off his boss once and for all.
To help with the quest, the Hero brought all of his personal weapons;
- His mighty fists, stronger than steel, tougher than titanium.
- His magic axe, blessed by the mighty gods to provide health when stuck against another being.
- His trusty pistol, packed with bullets. Lots and lots of bullets.
The game features a time based score system, giving the player only a few minutes to successfully complete the game. After a successful attempt the user's score is also tracked on a local high score.
There are multiple rooms in the game, each packed with fearless workers that has to be disposed of. Experience the exiting world outside the office, the crowded cubical space and the dark dangers of the water closet!
Two all new stunning tracks composed by Erik Tholén will keep the user engaged throughout the entirety of the game. Highly authentic sound effects will also draw the user in to this exciting new world.
PsychoHero provides the user with various customization options including, but not limited to;
- Enabling disabling of both the music and sound effects
- Toggle displaying the game in full screen mode
- Fully rebindable keyboard keys.
Not only is the user presented with these options, but the application will also remember these settings between game sessions.
PsychoHero is written in Java 7. The goal of the project was to make a game built on the MVC-pattern. The primary IDE used was Eclipse, and Git was used for source control.
PsychoHero uses a couple of external libraries;
