zombie-survival's Issues

Basic Zombie Class

Create a basic zombie class to build new enemies from.

Create platform

Create a POC platform for player to jump to.

This can double as a test for zombies walking off edges.

P2 registration

Solution a physics registration process

Weather cycle

Register Colliders with world

Let the world control the colliders. As objects are added they can be registered with World so that their collisions are detected on update().

Register new movements

Register desired movements for an object to the Move controller.
Have the Move controller register animations to the Animation controller for those movements when they are available.

Related to #22

Create generic spawn points.

Have the ability to place generic spawn points.

Implement unit testing

Sky

Once we have ground, we can add a sky to complete a basic environment.

Healthbar slowly losing health over time

We want the health bar to slowly lose health over time while the user is playing.

Import/Export

At some point we can use a Gulp plugin that utilizes es6 modules.

Character movement

Character should move left and right with keyboard input with a basic animation.

Danger zones while absent from game

Leaving game in an unsafe place will increase chances of death while absent.

Related to #3

Enemy danger zones/sight lines

Spawns

Random spawn points within non-safe zones. Also account for how dangerous a zone is by having higher spawn density.

Safe Zones

Assign ranges within the environment where zombies won't go or will have trouble going. Zombies will not spawn in these areas.

Create item specific spawn point from generic spawn.

Extend generic spawn to register new item spawn points.

Figure out World relationship

Set up collisions

Set up collisions with new atlases

Create enemy specific spawn point from generic spawn.

Extend generic spawn to register new enemy spawn points.

Handle extending bitmaps for environment and ui

Sprite controller

Ability to register sprite sheets for reference throughout the game so they can be pre-loaded.

Demo 1

Initial concept demo

• Player object
• Zombie object
• Health bar
• Single platform to jump to for safety
• Health item, with zombie between player and item
• Objects will be simple shapes for now

Camera

Set up camera for side scrolling

Spritesheet for Zombie

Health bar maxing out at 100 not the max health.

When adding health the player health bar is hitting a max of 100 health despite the max health parameter. (which can be > 100)

Concat transpiled code before bundling

Review/Establish object relationships

Decide the hierarchy of major objects.

Zombie AI for movement

Set a zombie to wander or patrol an area on its own

Convert spritesheets to atlases

Pass Player to World

Ability to pass existing player to newWorld object.

Allowing loading of players into new worlds or back from a save.

Implement JSDoc

Movement class

Make movement class based on whiteboard session

Remake sprite in Piskel

Ability for permanent Health increase

A way to have a permanent increase to the max health.

Current Health decrease on action

The ability to adjust the health bar negatively when the player takes damage.

Collider box for Zombie alert

Health Bar to adjust based on time absent from game

On return the Health Bar should adjust based on the length of time the user has been away.

Environment layer

Figure out why gravity is not universally applied

Ground tiles

Need a tile for grass and a tile for dirt.

Zone/Map defaults for enemies

A zone should pass defaults which are appropriate to the difficulty when a new class is instantiated.

Animate class

An animated class is needed. Movement class will use this only of an animation is passed in.

Zombie sprite

Initial design for a zombie

Day cycle

Set up a day cycle

Sky color based on real time

Time of day the game is loaded can be reflected by the color of the sky, including sunrise and sunset.

Current health increase on certain activities.

The Health Bar should be able to gain health during certain activities. (eating, drinking. etc)

Sprite sheets for running left and right

Character needs to have animations when moving left and right. There also needs to be a sprite for standing after running left and running right.

Review lint rules

Currently using the same rules we've used in the past. Not sure if they are all relevant.

Register animations with animator method

It would be helpful to register animations as they are created in each character's object.
