<h3>Selected Judges Remarks:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Did you find that mobile application game a bit frustrating?
|
||||
Well you can adjust the makefile parameters to make life a
|
||||
bit easier for you:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>make clobber all DW=199999 DW=22 DH=16 DA=50 DI=-150
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From the makefile:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code># Game parameters
|
||||
#
|
||||
DU=99999 # Time between steps in microseconds.
|
||||
# Make it larger if the game is too fast for you.
|
||||
|
||||
DW=28 # Pipe-to-pipe spacing, in columns.
|
||||
# Farther apart is easier.
|
||||
|
||||
DD=20 # Space between pipes.
|
||||
# The difference between DD and DW is the width of a pipe.
|
||||
# Narrow pipes are easier to fly though.
|
||||
|
||||
DH=8 # Height of gap in pipe.
|
||||
# Make this larger to make the game easier.
|
||||
|
||||
DA=100 # Acceleration due to gravity (scaled by 256).
|
||||
# Smaller values make you glide slower.
|
||||
|
||||
DI=-200 # Impulse velocity of a flap (scaled by 256).
|
||||
# Make larger if you want an less intense tapping experience!
|
||||
|
||||
DB='"<o^="' # Sprite for player when gliding.
|
||||
# HINT: Try using various emoji.
|
||||
# NOTE: The string MUST be enclosed inside double quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
DF='"<ov="' # Sprite for player when flapping.
|
||||
# HINT: Try using various emoji.
|
||||
# NOTE: The string MUST be enclosed inside double quotes.
|
||||
|
||||
DG='"Tap to Flap!"' # Instruction text.
|
||||
# Change to your native tongue.
|
||||
# NOTE: The string MUST be enclosed inside double quotes.

|

|

<p>Enjoy!</p>

<h1>The Program</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Better late than never to jump on the bandwagon of 2014’s most successful
|
||||
mobile game. The game is called Tappy Bird, and has all the sophisticated
|
||||
gameplay of the original, except with an exciting twist! (you get to fly to
|
||||
the right instead of to the left).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition, the game features exciting new customization options! Too hard?
|
||||
Ran into that damn wall too many times? Now you can change physics! Change
|
||||
any of a number of parameters (speed, gravity, etc.) of the game to suit your
|
||||
gameplay!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can even make the game more challenging – resize the terminal window to
|
||||
make the world taller or shorter. You’ll never be able to get through the
|
||||
pipes when they are four times as tall!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Instructions</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The instructions are printed at the start of the game: Tap to Flap!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hit any key to make your bird fly. Navigate her between the gaps in the pipes.
|
||||
Your score is shown in the upper left, along with your current high-score.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Customization options</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To customize the gameplay, change any of the following options on the compile
|
||||
command line:</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><code>-DU</code>: Time between steps in microseconds. Make it larger if the game
|
||||
is too fast for you.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DW</code>: Pipe-to-pipe spacing, in columns. Farther apart is easier.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DD</code>: Space between pipes. The difference between <code>D</code> and <code>W</code> is the
|
||||
width of the pipe. Narrow pipes are easier to fly though.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DH</code>: Height of gap in pipe. Make this larger to reduce the challenge.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DA</code>: Acceleration due to gravity (scaled by 256). Smaller values
|
||||
make you glide slower.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DI</code>: Impulse velocity of a flap (scaled by 256). Make this smaller
|
||||
if you want an intense tapping experience!</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DB</code>: Sprite for player when gliding.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DF</code>: Sprite for player when flapping.</li>
|
||||
<li><code>-DG</code>: Instruction text. Change to your native tongue.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Feel free to try out physics or playfield options to make the game more
|
||||
interesting. Try setting the player sprites to change the game completely –
|
||||
maybe you can be a fish, or a pig – the options are limitless! Try using
|
||||
emoji – you can be a flying beer mug!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that since the <code>curses</code> library on POSIX doesn’t natively support wide
|
||||
characters (needed for UTF-8 support, which is needed for emoji), you may need
|
||||
to make some changes to the <code>Makefile</code> to get emoji to work on your system.
|
||||
To help you get started, I’ve included some example substitutions for emoji
|
||||
sprites and instruction text; for example, type</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>make EMOJI=beer LANGUAGE=spanish
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>or</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<pre><code>make EMOJI=globe
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>for some examples (the full list of options is in the <code>Makefile</code>). Don’t
|
||||
forget to <code>make clean</code> first. If the output doesn’t look right, you may need
|
||||
to link with the “wide” version of <code>ncurses</code>. On MacOSX 10.11, it should work
|
||||
with the current <code>-lcurses</code>; on Linux, you probably need <code>-lncursesw</code>.
|
||||
See the <code>Makefile</code> to make this change if you need to. Or buy a Mac.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You will also need a UTF-8 compatible terminal and an emoji font installed,
|
||||
and you will need to have your <code>LANG</code> environment variable set to use UTF-8.
|
||||
Again, if this is too complicated, maybe just go and get that Mac.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Future additions</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Future versions of the game will include monitization via the freemium model
|
||||
with micropayments for customization options, play-to-win and of course
|
||||
live-streamed targeted video advertising.</p>
