Road The Game

Why did the chicken cross the road?

ToDo

• Create the game [Mads|Tim]
• Better achievements [Mads|Tim]
• Rewrite to use rAF [Mads|Tim]

The Game (& ideas)

• You earn scores for every shit you do (hit special cars, die fast (like a mupliplicator or something))
• Stupid sounds like MMOOOOONSTER KILL from Quake3
• Intro screen with basic howto
• Favicon
• A "storm"/lot of cars after x minutes (random), but with a x second countdown so that the player will see that he is dying soon
• Show current game difficulty (based on how fast the cars are)
• Motor cycles in between the cars (on every side) with half the width of a car and a max height
• Random bombs, hurricanes, Tsunami -> Connected to the "Storm"-Countdown so that a random SHIT FUCK will happen to the player
• Cooldown "display" for power-ups
• Use requestAnimationFrame so that the game pauses if the window is not active
• Spawn more power ups the faster the cars get
• Make the game scalable
• optimize for mobile -> touch control and bigger board
• Change the volume of the audio
• Check if audio is available in the current browser and disable it if its not
• Fade power-ups smoothly in
• Max amount of power-ups
• Max amount of speed
• Don't create car-colors that are too dark (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/596216/formula-to-determine-brightness-of-rgb-color)
• Steal sound from http://www.cappel-nord.de/webaudio/ (I already asked him if we can use it :D)

Completed

• You control a minion
• You run from left to right and right to left
• In the middle of the canvas is a road
• On the road are different type of cars (size and color and shit)
• If you get hit by a car you are dead
• If you consume power up, you get special abbilities (more minions at the same time, bonus points for a limited time)
• Add a trail for power up speed
• Get crowded on power up minion
• Achievements
• Cars getting faster the longer you play
• Multiplier for each minion you have
• Death-Counter
• Power-ups spawn if you get one point (or if you reached the other side + every minion [maybe])
• Make cars wobble from side to side
• The player should have "human" colors (like on the classic "road: the game: bloodpath") and the color should be random after every death
• Turn audio on / off
• Reset the difficulty after you die (everything to default -> # of cars, speed, power-ups)
• Use localStorage to save game stats (like "best"-score, deaths)
• Gulp to create endresult
• Make sounds

Modes for the future

• Die fast, as much as possible

Bugs

• Doesn't work in SF 26 on Ubuntu
• Minions don't die after being run over
• Cars are overlapping
• Power up bomb destroys all other power ups (Even the the ones to come)
• If you have x minions and move from one lane to the other you just get 1 score instead of 1 + x
• Minions overlap (after x + 1 minion power-ups you don't see the other minions anymore) -> Maybe only when you have the invincible power up -> nope, it's random
• The trail after the speed power up is not added if you are invincible
• Power up timer is not reset after taking a new power up
• Can't grap any power-up if you have the invincible power-up picked up once

Development on c9

• SCSS -> sass --watch assets/scss:assets/css in the console
