COMP 1671 , Fall 2009

Assignment 4

Due November 5, 2009

You are to create a game or simulation using an array of moving objects. Your final product must manage 10 or more moving objects using arrays. The objects must interact with each other and the mouse in some logical manner. One or more of your moving objects must be based on a loaded image. Others can be also be based on loaded images, or can be drawn with basic processing commands. In addition, your assignment must use a timer in someway.

Again, this assignment is rather open-ended. If you have doubts about the suitabilty of your assignment ask us. Possible examples include simple games such as duck hunt, whack-a-mole, freeze-tag, or space invaders. Other examples include a simulation of pool balls on a pool table (note this can become very complex, but if you limit it to two balls and the cue being mouse controlled this is very approachable). Or, a simulation of particles emmitted from a source into a wind. Or, just a bunch of beautiful/ugly moving objects that playfully change when you click on them or when the run into each other.
