Contributions

Ryan

Made base game
Added bullet projectile feature
Added screens (Home page, Controls page, Credits page, Game Page)
Added screen transitions
Made game turn based (Player 1 goes first, then Player 2 and vice versa)
Start screen background image
Bug fixes + minor QOL features

William

Ensured clean code by moving utility functions into the classes that used them instead of just hanging around the main code
Optimized bullet physics for correctness and performance
Created system to rotate an image around its center
Used system to have active sprites follow cursor
Expanded Player class and Bullet class attributes for further functionality
Optimized game loop logic to be cleaner and less verbose (less conditionals using the active_player and dormant_player system)
Added fuel consumption feature
Logic for intelligent image import and process based on player1/player2

Janaarthana

Background images and sound.
Player hit animation.
Screen transition after the game ends, continue to play again or quit.
Health bar created for both players.
Snowfall map created.

Premchand

Added the collision detection feature to detect collision between the object and projectile
Used the collision detection to reduce the hp to reduce the player's health.
Added multiple model images for the player and made the model random at the start of the game.

Summary

This project uses the pygame library to create dynamic images and interactions between each other. The code used are all python code.

Our project is a multiplayer turn based shooting game where 2 players try to hit each other with a physics projectile. This idea came about due to the recent EOLing of adobe flash player. Many of us had grown up playing adobe flash games with very similar premises - and with Flash's EOL just passed, we wanted to create a tribute to those somewhat crude 2D physics games of our childhoods. With that in mind, we included many hallmarks of that particular genre of game - stock art backgrounds, inconsistent sprite choices, and simplistic gameplay mechanics. While perhaps not as involved as we had originally intended, we believe our project reflects that experience rather well.

With regards to the physics: the projectile's movement speed and direction depends on the location of the mouse, the further away the mouse is from the player, the faster it will go. Players have a set amount of distance they can travel (energy) in a turn and uses the a and d key on the keyboard to move left and right respectively. The goal of this is to make it harder for the enemy to use the same shot on you two turns in a row. Players would take turns shooting the projectile and when their respective hp goes down to 0, the opponent will win the game. The game will then restart after a few moments.
