A Turing Game This   game   was   made   using   Turing    for Windows.     It’s     a     local     multiplayer game   where   players   try   to   survive   as long       as       possible       by       stopping asteroids   from   impacting   the   ground. It     was     coded     in     2014     as     a     final computer science summative.

Features Splash Screen The     program     launches     with     an     animated splash   screen   including   a   loading   bar   to   allow time   for   assets   to   load   in.   Music.PlayFileLoop   was   used   to   add   loopable   music   to   the   splash screen and game menu.

Menu The   interactive   menu   system   uses   pic.draw    to create    a    custom    graphical    interface.    Button presses        are        determined        using        the mousewhere     procedure    to    get    the    current location   of   the   mouse.   pic.free    is   used   to   clear memory     allocated     when     each     picture     is loaded    in.    This    function    is    crucial    as    Turing only   allows   a   limited   number   of   images   to   be stored in memory at any given time.

Game Classes The     game     consists     of     three     original classes;   characterClass,   fireClass   and   the asteroidClass.    The    character    class    allows players   to   move   left   or   right   and   changes the   direction   the   player   faces   depending on    which    key    is    being    pressed.    The    fire class    allows    players    to    shoot    a    fireball originating    from    the    characters    position moving     positive     along     the     y-Axis.     The asteroid   class   is   set   up   in   an   array   which spawns     asteroids     along     the     x-Axis     at random.   Asteroids   then   travel   downward along the y-Axis.

Collision Detection Collision     detection     was     built     using     a destruct    function    to    check    whether    two objects    intersect    each    other.    Depending on    which    objects    are    colliding,    different outcomes    occur.    For    instance,    asteroids destruct   when   intersecting   the   ground   or a     fireball,     and     fireballs     destruct     when touching an asteroid or going off screen.

Score System & End Screen The   score   system   incorporates   player   health and   score   using   basic   counters.   The   count   is triggered   by   the   collision   of   objects.   Once   the players    health    count    reaches    0    the    game enters    its    end    sequence.    Here    the    player’s scores      are      displayed      and      the      user      is presented with the option to play again.
