Main Game Loop

Description: Apache is a 2D multiplayer game programmed using C# and Managed Direct X. The game was designed and implemented by a team of two. On the project I worked mainly with sprite animation, sounds, user input, and GUI programming. Both players attempt to shoot the other out of the sky while dodging opposing attacks. Apache was one of my earlier projects.

GUI - I designed and programmed the individual pieces of the GUI including: the health bars, the help Screen, and the winner screens. The health bars were adjusted using a sprite sheet which was incrimented everytime damge was taken. At the time I drew the help and status screens out of the game window, the moved them in when certain conditions were met. For a future modification I plan to adjust these and only have them render when conditions are met rather than move them out of the game window.

User Input - Designed the code to test for user input using directX libraries. Set up initial control system for the helicopter. Control system was later re-designed and tweaked by both members of the project.

Audio - Set up the audio system using DirectX libraries.

Game Logic - Designed and implemented portions of game logic such as: damage, victory conditions, etc.

Sprite Class Contributions - Made required changes to the Sprite class which was initially designed by my teammate Jasen Moloy. These changes included: limiting player movement to viewable screen area. Modified animated sprite function allowing for animations to run once or be looped. This was actually achived by adding an aditional function to the current class. Limited the speed at which the helicopter can move, to accomplish this I simply limited the maximum length of the vectors the helicopters used for movement.
