Final Project: A Game

Summary: Implement 2 levels (or 4 levels for graduate students) of the old Atari game Berzerk(wikipedia link) (See gameplay on youtube)

Unpacking some details: 

• The player starts with 3 lives
• The player can move in 4 or 8 directions (diagonals possible but not required for undergrads)
• There should be (lets say for our purposes) 4+2*level number 'bad guys' randomly placed in legal spots on the level.
• The bad guys have a random chance for one bad guy to shoot at the player each second. That chance should be a function of the level (higher levels mean more shooting)
• if there is a shot, pick a random bad guy to shoot directly at the player.
• if the bad guy shot hits a wall it disappears
• if the bad guy shot hits the player the shot disappears and the player loses a life
• if the player loses a life,
• make a visual and audial  representation,
• remove the enemy shot (if any)
• re-spawn the player in  a random unoccupied location.
• the player should be able to shoot in the direction the player last moved.
• the player loses a life if the player runs into a wall.
• if the player managed to kill all the bad guys, the player has to leave the map through one of the openings to move on
• if there is another level, begin the next level at that point.
• if that is the last level tell the player they have won.
• The bad guys should move (directly) toward the player from time to time.
• bad guys that hit the wall die, the player does get points for this - a strategy is to get the bad guys to kill themselves chasing you.
• the player score should increase everytime a bad guy dies, either from the player shooting it or the bad guy hitting the wall.
• Have (unique) sounds for at least:
• player shooting
• bad guy shooting
• player loses a life
• bad guy dies
• player loses (loses last life) [there should be a visual cue too]
• player wins (completes 2 levels in undergrad or 4 for grads)

Have fun.
