C# Windows Forms Game

• Applicatie- en mediaontwikkelaar
• MBO
• Studiejaar 1

Now that you are familiar with working in Forms, we're going to create a sidescroller platform game!

 For this assignment we will follow a tutorial from: Mooict.

You will also have to do some research, adhere to certain
criteria for your game, and write a GDD.

Otherwise you won't be able to take part in the play-session at the end!

COMMIT YOUR CODE TO GITHUB! 

If it's pink, it's a link!

1. Create a side scrolling platform game in visual studio with C#
   
2. Use several picture boxes and control them using timers
   
3. Use Loops to easily identify the platforms, coins, keys and doors
   
4. Create gravity and jump force in visual studio
   
5. Using Key down and Key up events to control the character
   
6. Smoothly scrolling the background, items and platforms as the player moves between left or right
7. The game consists out of 3 different levels (in the same form)
8. You will write a Game Design document about your game

"It’s a document that should be thorough enough and specific enough to let a team of people build a cohesive, consistent game. It is the kind of document that will inform every decision your team makes. It takes out most of the guesswork."
- gamedesigning.org

• What does that mean?        ►  In theory it means that someone else should be able to
                                                          build your game by looking at your document.
  
  
• What do you have to do?    ►  You won't have to write a complete game design
                                                          document because you are not building everything from
                                                          scratch.
  
  
• Why do you have to do it?  ► You will see this document a lot if you want to do a follow-
                                                         up education on gamedesign for example, this is a mere
                                                         introduction.

• Note: This is a complete GDD, not all of these aspects are required for your assignment.

You've got the entire (third) period to work on this game.
We will organise a play-session at the end of the period so you can play each other's games.
(If Covid is still a thing, it will be a virtual play-session in Teams.)

During the review you will present your game and reflect on your choices.

Don't forget to mention Mooict and sources for your images/music/sound in your code
