CIS 201 – Computer Science I
Assignment 6: Design a Video Game
Due Wednesday, May 13, at 11:55pm
Introduction
This assignment will give you a chance to exercise your programming skills, your knowledge of
FANG, and your creativity. You may use classes, methods, files, and array lists.
Phase 1: Game
Write a video game of your design. The definition is intentionally left very broad. You have artistic
freedom, with the following constraints:
•You must use Java and the FANG game engine to write your game.
•There must be at least two moving objects on the screen during the gameplaying portion of
the game.
•The user must provide input to the game that influences the behavior of one or more of the
objects on the screen. Input may be from the mouse or the keyboard.
•The game must have a goal that the user is expected to achieve.
•The game must have an ending (though “losing all of your lives” is a valid ending condition).
•When the game ends, the user must have the opportunity to play again or to advance to
another level without re-starting the game from scratch.
From a Java standpoint, you must include the following:
•You must have at least two classes – one will extend the
Game
class, and the other will
probably extend one of the
Sprite
classes.
•You must document your code according to the conventions we have been using in class.
•You should use methods appropriately. Each method should do one thing. If a method has
parameters or return values, the documentation should indicate the purpose of each parame-
ter and the resulting return value.
•You must do your own work. You can use any code examples given in class (in
/home/student/Classes/201/Misc
, for example), but of course you should go well be-
yond what is given in these examples.
