About
O'Tapper is a clone of the original Tapper that was found in Arcades, and Bars across America. I created this project on my own as a part of the classic game project for my game programming and development class.
Programs Used
- Unity
- C#
-Adobe Audition
Project Overview
This project posed a couple of unique problems that I couldn't easily get help on. Primarily was the movement system, instead of being able to use a gravity based or standard grid system I created a series of points that the player was locked on the X axis to. Additionally ensuring the ways the player moved up and down, and snapped back to the keg when pouring beer were movements I had to take into account.
Another mechanic I would like to highlight is the instantiation, and destruction of the beer and glass objects (represented by cream and neon green rectangles). In working on this mechanic I also learned about, and used co-routines. I then continued to use co-routines throghout the project in the patrons, start screens, and event system.
The Burndown Chart
As a part of this project I was introduced to a burndown chart and scrum. I really enjoyed the way these tools help me stay on track and think they are a valuble asset to production timelines, and am excited ot use them in the future.
Where I Succeeded
This project helped me learn a lot more about a production timline. I had to use burndown charts, and scrums in order to keep myself on track. I also learned a lot more about coding for unity in 2D.
Where I Can Improve
I hope in the future to be able to implement sprites and animations from the original game. From the start I began with the understanding that I would likely not treat art as a priority as it was for a coding class, but being able to code an animation switcher is an important skill to have.
(The Controls use the arrow keys to move, X to pull the tap, and Enter to start)
