Advanced Game Design & Development

To give students the experience of integrating and using a professional quality physics engine in a game.

Core Requirements:

1. You must use your current or updated level from Homework #3 (which built upon Homework #1 and #2).
2. Using the Bullet Physics Engine, integrate physics based collision detection between your player character, world geometry, and the NPCs.
3. Implement (1) physics-based phenomenon in which the player or NPC takes an action that results in an object moving on the game where the motion is solely controlled by the physics engine.
4. You must demonstrate your physics in Irrlicht 1.7.1 (the render target).
5. Create a project directory called {YourLastName}-AGDD2010-HW-4 and include all art asset source files, all source code files, and the executable Irrlicht base used to show your physics in motion.
6. Check in your directory under your tags directory in SVN.
7. Note: You should be working in SVN under your trunk directory as you create this level.
8. Demonstrations will be on my machine from your repository—I sync through SVN update when you come to demo during my office hours. All paths shall be relative, a local copy of the Irrlicht libraries should be checked in, and the program should be able to be compiled

Design Document Requirements:

1. Utilizing the Game Design Documents Template complete the following sections:
1. Gameplay
2. Story
2. The updated version of the document should be in your SVN/trunk.

4/20: TM, AF, GG, KD, SY
4/22: MA, JG, TF, EP, MM, any others

To give students the experience of creating AI-driven Non-Player Characters (NPCs) in a game.

Core Requirements:

1. You must use your current or updated level from Homework #2 (which built upon Homework #1).
2. Create a HFSM-based behavior tree (BT) class that implements at least 2 prioritized lists (each with at least 3 behaviors) and one sequence (with at least 3 behaviors). This BT shall allow the character to navigate the world and interact with objects and other characters (player and non-player).
3. Create another HFSM-based behavior tree (BT) class that implements at least 2 prioritized lists (each with at least 3 behaviors) and one sequence (with at least 3 behaviors). This BT shall allow the character to interact with objects and other characters (player and non-player) in a different manner than the first BT.
4. Both BTs shall solely drive two non-player characters.
5. Each NPC shall have a unique model.
6. All actions in the BT for the NPC shall have a corresponding animation.
7. A diagram for each BT shall be included in the documentation for the homework. Without these diagrams (2 of them) the homework will not be graded.
8. You must demonstrate your characters in Irrlicht 1.7.1 (the render target).
9. Create a project directory called {YourLastName}-AGDD2010-HW-3 and include all art asset source files, all source code files, and the executable Irrlicht base used to show your character in motion. Don’t forget yout license file.
10. Check in your directory under your tags directory in SVN.
11. Note: You should be working in SVN under your trunk directory as you create this level.
12. Demonstrations will be on my machine from your repository—I sync through SVN update when you come to demo during my office hours. All paths shall be relative, a local copy of the Irrlicht libraries should be checked in, and the program should be able to be compiled

Design Document Requirements:

1. Utilizing the Game Design Documents Template complete the following sections:
1. Vision Statement
2. Marketing Information
3. Legal Analysis
4. Game Characters
5. The Game World
2. The updated version of the document should be in your SVN/trunk.
