Putting it all together


For our final game, we will take what we have learned from previous chapters and combine it with the concepts that we have just learned in this chapter to create a game similar to Doodle Jump. We will then see how to deploy our game. The following is the entire activity:

  • We will create a platform game called Space Buddy

  • Space Buddy is also the name of our main character, who is an alien

  • Our alien, Space Buddy, will be jumping around the galaxy from one space platform to another trying to reach the top

  • In this galaxy, gravity exists similar to our planet Earth, and should Space Buddy miss a platform, he will fall to his death into the lava, and the game will end

  • However, his objective is to reach the UFO beam at the top of the level so that he can be transported to another galaxy

  • Should he reach the beam successfully, then he will complete the first level successfully and go on to the next level

  • Each time Space Buddy...
