running the game
You need the Chingu gem
gem install chingu
then you can just run:
You are Rubee, a young rails locomotive who is trying to overcome obstacles in life. Rubee's path to success is to destroy his enemies (XML, Java and others) by throwing in its enemies a powerful piece of rail. At the end of each phase Rubee learns an important lesson which can be for example: in IRB, you can use '_' to retrieve the last returned value.
When working on something please cut the task from TODO and add it here putting your name besides it.
on hold - (pedro)- we need some 'exploding' animation when hitting the enemies either by shotting them or by crashing into them
* create map - use vertical or horizontal navigation for the map (if horizontal it' s easier to to use a train(locomotive) as the main player) otherwise we need to find out a better main player than Ruby logo - preferably use text file to create an map - if using yml create a system to edit/save maps on the fly - use paralax effects in background * create game enemies - something that represents anti-ruby values like java, xml... - define at least 3 different enemies with different behaviors - they can be moving enemies or static enemies * game menu - create game states, like Menu, Pause, Game Over, and Playing * game music - add sound effects for explosions, gun shots, locomotive sounds - compose background song or find an open source one * main player - implement an energy bar or lifes concept - use sprites to emulate motion - implement space bar as action keys (fire rail) - when dying, present GameOver state - 10 rail's pieces as maximum ammo * gameplay - add 'extra life' or 'energy increase' concept - add game score concept - player can collect ammo to reload
