Project Proposal

Introduction:

My project is going to be a game similar to tank trouble. Tank trouble is an online game where two people each control a tank and fight each other using the cannnons on the tank. There is a maze where the players have to navigate through and go to the other player. In addition to the regular cannon there will be a bunch of power ups which spawn across the map which players can pick up. In the online game these power ups give the player other weapons. I plan on adding powerups which change different aspects of the tank such as its movement speed. The game will also include sound. Some background that I have that will help me in this project will be the past MP’s and working on the OpenFrameworks snake game.

Libraries:

In order to help complete my project I have found two libraries in addition to openFrameworks. One library called ofSoundPlayer is an OpenFrameworks Audio Library which I will use for all the sounds in the game. The other library is called box2d and specifically I plan on using ofxBox2d which is an OpenFramworks wrapper for box2d. Box2d is a 2d physics engine for games and has many feature such as collision detection which should be helpful for my game.
