CAB202 Topic 3, Exercise 3: Shooting Star
Requirements:
Complete the implementation of the shooting_star program. This program simulates the flight of an object along a straight line between two points. The hash-tags for this exercise are: #cab202 and #cab202ShootingStar.
This exercise will give you further practice with collision detection and help you learn how to direct an object along a path between two points in a two-dimensional space.
In this program, you will use a sprite to represent the location of a bomb which, after launching from position (10,5) , flies straight toward a star which is located at (53,10) at a speed of 0.1 screen units per time-step. To complete the program, follow the instructions detailed in the in-line comments in the setup() and process() functions.
Notes
The supplied test driver produces output similar to that shown below.
The sample image and movie were generated with the settings listed in the “Movie V alue” column in the table below. The settings you should use in your submission are listed in the “Y our Value” column.
| Parameter | Movie Value | Your Value |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal width | 79 | n/a – set by AMS |
| Terminal height | 29 | n/a – set by AMS |
| Initial bomb x | 17 | 10 |
| Initial bomb y | 13 | 5 |
| Star x | 58 | 53 |
| Star y | 22 | 10 |
| Bomb speed | 0.15 units per time step | 0.1 units per time step |
If you would like to record your own ZDK Movie to compare the frames against the reference movie, add the following option to your gcc command:
-DAUTO_SAVE_SCREEN
This will enable the auto-save function in the test driver, causing it to produce a text file containing your movie. The file will be created in your present working directory. Each time the program runs, a new file is generated.
Use this test driver to implement and test your function prior to submission.
