MyGame

The name of game is "escaping from virus and exploring the world". The game is written by Kyle Sun (kanghons), a CMU graduate student @INI for the weekly assignment of 15-466 Game Programming in Fall 2009.

Goal

The main character in the game is the cell, which is controlled by user. The world is full of viruses. The cell is very weak, its radius would be reduced by half when it was hit by a virus. And the cell need power from user pressing space key. If the cell has zero radius, it is dead. The goal of the cell is to explore the world, which is a picture at the background. As the cell moves, the picture is explored. While the full picture is explored, the user wins. Use keyboard to play the game, four arrows to move the cell, and space to aggregate power.

Method

I use SDL and nest library to create virus balls and cell ball. The collision between virus and cell is determined by the distance between virus and cells.

Novelty

This is not an only escaping game. It adds the difficulty by not only escaping but also need to aggregate power meanwhile exploring the world.

Results

There is some issue with the functionality of exploring the world. But escaping and aggregating power are implemented successfully.
