First project of my Full-Stack Web Development bootcamp at Ironhack. We needed to develop a game, any game, in a week's time. Dystopia was built in 5 days.

I really enjoyed playing video games when I was a child. Mostly side-scrolling beat 'em up or platform games. Dystopia was made so that I would have fun while programming and playing it. It's a nostalgic, quick and fun game, designed to last less than 3 minutes to complete.

The game is set in a dystopian, post-apocalypse society. The main character, Jack, needs to survive 4 levels of the game to reach the final boss - his enemy Lucy.

The code reflects my level of knowledge by the time it was built (during the third week of the 9-week bootcamp) and hasn't been updated since.

• Node.js
• p5.js
• Various graphic assets and sound effects coming from multiple free sources

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/alexandreoliv/dystopia.git

2. Make any changes if necessary and host the website in a local web server or somewhere on the internet (for instance 000webhost.com) because it won't load the assets locally in the browser (CORS policy)

1. There are four initial levels, each lasting 30 seconds. The goal on each level is to survive until the time is over.

2. Controls:

   jump: space bar | move: ⬅/➡
   music on/off: s | reset: r | pause: p
   

3. On top of the screen the most important information is displayed: level | lives | health | score | time

4. Level: Goes from LEVEL 1 to LEVEL 4.

5. Lives: Starts with 3. Increases by 1 when Jack finds hearts ❤️ during the game. Decreases by 1 when Jack health decreases to 0 or when he gets smashed by a barrel 🛢️ in the left corner. If Jack loses his last life, the game is over.

6. Health: Starts with 100. Decreases by 50 when Jack is hit by the falling saws 🪚. The falling saws appear in random positions and the amount of saws increases at each new level. Health level increases when Jack gets pizzas 🍕 (+15), chicken legs 🍗 (+10) or coffees ☕ (+5), but never exceeding 100. These food items appear in random positions and the most valuable ones are also rarer.

7. Score: Starts with 0. Increases when Jack finds AK-47s 🔫 (+30), pistols 🔫 (+15) or knives 🔪 (+5). These items appear in random positions and the most valuable items are also rarer. It's important to collect as many weapons as possible to get better scores.

8. Time: Starts with 30 (seconds) and decreases until 0. By then, a level-up sound indicates that Jack has reached a new level, and time starts again with 30.

1. If Jack survives all four levels, he reaches the Final Stage. No more falling saws, no more food items or weapons. No more time counting. It becomes a shooting game and only one person will survive.

2. Controls: The only difference is that Jack can shoot now.

   shoot: ctrl | jump: space bar | move: ⬅/➡
   music on/off: s | reset: r | pause: p
   

3. On top of the screen the most important information is displayed: level | lives | health | score | boss

4. Level: Shows FINAL STAGE.

5. Lives: Decreases by 1 when Jack health decreases to 0. If Jack loses his last life, the game is over.

6. Health: Decreases by 50 when Jack is hit by Lucy. Lucy shoots at random times.

7. Score: Increases by 5 every time Jack hits Lucy.

8. Boss: Decreases by 1 every time Lucy gets hit. She's quite strong and Jack needs to successfully hit her 100 times to kill her. Jack can shoot faster, though.

1. Either shows GAME OVER or YOU WIN.

2. In case of losing, the final score is (points x levels), for instance 100 x 3 = 300 if the game was lost in the third level.

3. In case of winning, the final score is (points x levels) + health + (lives x 100), "health" and "lives" meaning the remaining value of both by the end of the game. For instance, (100 x 5) + 50 + (3 x 100) = 500 + 50 + 300 = 850.
