Implementing modifications to the Rocket Patrol tutorial game created in class
Author: Marlene Lopez Duration: 43 hours (I really struggled but it was fun) Date: 20 April 2022
Assignment: Rocket Patrol Mods [~10–15 hours] Name of the Game: Roadkill
I chose to make it roadkill themed and color coordinated the point system display with the color of the car that represents the player the goal is to run over as many racoons as possible and the art I created for the game is meant to represent a road and cars crashing into racoons that in the explosion become casualties as shown with blood the sounds are also car sounds like starting the engine, screeching tires, and a thud when the body of the animal collides with the car. instead of sci-fi it is urban.
