CSC 102: Application Development for Beginners

Project 1

Learning Objectives:

 Apply problem solving techniques and programming structures to solve basic problems.

 Problem Details:

Log in to your code.org account. Using PlayLab, create a game project that has the following

specifications. You must name the file with your first and last name and your ID:

Project1_yourname_ID, for example Project1_AhmadMitairi_12345.

The game includes two levels.

In level 1:

a) Give a title to the game and show it on the screen once the game starts along with the

level number.

b) Create a main actor as knight or Princess (actor 1), a target actor (actor 2), and three

scary actors (actors 3-5).

c) Choose a background for this level.

d) Change the size of all actors to 0.5.

e) actor 2 should start from the lower right corner, whereas the main actor (actor 1) should

start from the upper left corner. The scary actors should start from the middle of the

screen.

f) The scary actors (actors 3-5) should move repeatedly in random directions each with

different number of pixels.

g) You (the user) should be able to move actor 1 in the four directions using the arrow keys.

h) The game should include a score.

i) When the main actor touches the target actor, the score should increase by 1, and the

target actor should disappear for 5 seconds then it should appear again on a random

position.

j) When the main actor touches any of the scary actors (actors 3-5), the score should be

deducted by one point, and the main actor should return back to the upper left corner.

k) If the score goes below zero, the game is over and “You lose” message should be

displayed on the middle of the screen and all actors should stop moving.

l) If the score reaches 10, the game is over and “You win” message should be displayed on

the middle of the screen and all actors should stop moving.

m) If the score becomes 5, the game should switch to another level (make it as a function).

Level 2 on next page

In Level 2:

This level has the exact same specifications of level I with the following differences:

a) Show the title of the game on the screen once the new level starts along with the level

number.

b) A new background is displayed.

c) The score starts from the same value scored at the end of level I.

d) Introduce a new scary actor (actor 6) that moves in a random direction with a certain

number of pixels, and a size of 0.5.

e) The same rules (of old scary actors) applies on the new scary actor whenever it touches

the main actor (actor 1).

General Instructions:
