Roadmap

• Test Map
• Vehicles
• Swimming
• Oxygen-Meter
• ordentliches HUD bauen
  • Elemente müssen variable und optional sein.
• Global Progress Object
• One-Time Pickups (für z.B. Powerups die nicht respawned werden)
• Menus & Textboxes
• Save & Load
• Mobile Controls
• Collision Boxes (nicht identisch mit der Sprite-Größe)
• Spores (?? tbd)
• Webhosting
• Boss Battles

Absolute Minimum to Finished

• Swimming with depleting oxygen
• 1 vehicle
• Winning condition (Item X einsammeln und zu Punkt Y bringen. Damit kann ich auch alle möglichen anderen conditions abbilden, z.B. verschlossene Türen öffnen, Raumschiff mit Ersatzteilen reparieren etc.)

Biomes & Levelsetups

• above sealevel

  • islands with different biomes (desert (with pyramid), forest/jungle, mysterious swamp, crystal)
  • islands are connected via underwater cave system

• below sealevel

  • caves (regular, ice, colorful underground mushroom forest (game should never feel gloomy but fun!), deep sea alien?)

• boss-levels

General Control Scheme

• D-Pad: ArrowKeys
• Buttons (A, B): X, Y
• Start: Enter
• Select: Space

Player Controls

• X = Jump
• Y = Attack
• ArrowUp = Enter Door/Use (das funktioniert so noch nicht wirklich. ArrowUp ist zu allgemein, das brauche ich ja auch für Vehicle Controls.)
• Space = Select Weapon

Vehicle Controls

• X = Engine Acceleration (in 0.5er Steps von 0 bis +2)
• Y = Weapon/Tool
• ArrowKeys für Richtungen
• Space = Select Weapon/Tool

HUD

• Hitpoints = Text "HP" + Boxes
• Collected Crystals = Icon + Number
• active Weapon + Ammo = Icon + Number
• Oxygen (nur wenn diving) = Icon + Bar
• Extralifes = Icon + Number
• möglicherweise Depth = Number + Text "m"

Anordnung: HP OOOOOOO (W)25 (C)36 (L)3 O2 =========
