Overview
Red is a 2D platformer game where the player, as Red, a nice red square that can move, has to avoid the pursuers to reach the final door and get to the end.
We have used a tree hierarchy system to implement the user’s interface, using a cathegory designation to manage the functionalities of all the elements of the user’s interface.
Red is developed by a couple of CITM’s students for a Game Development subject

Work distribution
Oscar:
Player main core and physics with the map. Enemy pathfinding port from oriol’s base code. Game cycle and GUI cycle. Main menu, settings, pause menu and help gui and implementation. Level smooth transitions. Game adapting to make it adapt to fullscreen, except from camera. Polylines and walkability map (see innovation section). Coins and buttons parsing and reading. Logo.
Oriol:
Entities controller main core. Base code of enemies pathfinding. Main core of the GUI controller, functionalities assingment system of the elements of the GUI; game timer system, score system and life system among others. Animations in the GUI. All the stuff related to framerate control. Game music and sound fx, music and sound fx transitions using Oscar’s base code of game cycle. Parsing and reading enemies sprites. Testing and bug searching. Level desing and adjustments.
Innovation
-
A new system of collisions is made with the player, the map does not have any collider wrapping the walls neither the floor, player uses the same walkable map enemies use, so there’s an improvement in the number of colliders loaded.
(see Player.cpp, more accurately, Move() function)
-
Spikes collision are precisely done with a polyline collision mapping, no square colliders that overbounds them are used, there’s a triangle spike so it is the collision with it.
(see j1Map.cpp for line parsing, LoadColliders() function) (see j1Collision for line adding, collision checking and debug drawing. AddPolyline(), CheckRectLineCollision(), DrawPolyLines(), respectively)
