ADVANCED PROGRAMMING PROJECT

COLOR SWITCH
Abhishek Chaturvedi (2019401) || Naval Kumar Shukla (2019065)
FEATURES
• Infinite mode with different levels of increasing difficulty.
• 7 different types of obstacles with some obstacles having their own animation effects.
• Collect stars to increase the score.
• Color Switcher changes the ball color randomly.
• Save Game and Restart Game options: User can save multiple game states, and reload them.
• Cool background music.

IMPLEMENTATION
• Navigation is via FXML files.
• Load Game menu is used to load multiple saved states of the game. Every time a user saves a game, the game state is given an id, which is the name of the
player and game’s score, ball color, ball coordinates, obstacle type and orientation are saved.
• Pause Menu can be used for starting a new game or saving the current game or going back to main menu.
• Game Over Menu can be used to revive the player if there are enough points available to the player or the game can be restarted or the player can go back
to main menu.
• Exit Game saves all the progress and exits the game.
• In Game Menu: Allows the user to save the game, restart the game or exit to main menu.
• Stars increase the score and the level.
• Stars in enough numbers can be used to revive the current player.
• After revival the score of the player decreases and level also lowers accordingly.
• Level becomes harder as the user progresses through the game. Difficult and complicated obstacles unlock and the game speed increases and stars required
for revival also increase.
• Background music has been added which can be muted and unmuted to enhance the experience.

BONUS COMPONENTS
◦ LEADEROARD to keep track of the players with highest scores who have played the game.
◦ OBSTACLE ANIMATIONS

Some obstacles have the feature to zoom in and out to enhance experience and difficulty of the game.
◦ EXCEPTION HANDLING

When a player with not enough score tries to revive a player and when a player tries to open a saved game which does not exist. A pop-up
screen opens with an appropriate message.
◦ LEVEL WISE DIFFICULTY

According to the increasing level, the falling speed of the ball increases, the obstacle rotation speed and the points required for revival
also increases.
◦ BACKGROUND MUSIC has been added with the feature to mute and unmute it.
◦ HELP MENU which contains the description of the game and a guide on how to play it. It also contains the different game elements
and their description.
◦ SHARE MENU which contains links to share your progress on social media websites like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and
Twitter.
