Tappy Dudes

1.1 Update! Tappy Dudes received an update! For my Complex Games Systems assignment I was tasked with creating a complex system. I wanted to incorporate Tappy Dudes, so after clearing it with my teacher I decided to create an online scoreboard system. The system can technically be imported into any game, however I have integrated it into Tappy Dudes. I demonstrated the following skills while creating this:

• Created an API using Node.js on my own server hosted on Digital Ocean. The API is capable of tracking high scores across multiple games. User "login" is also supported.
• Used networking in Unity to send and receive data from the API. 

At the moment accounts are created manually - I need to work on creating a page on my site to create/manage accounts. Email me directly if you would like me to PERSONALLY set you up with one so you can live on in Tappy Dude history!

----------

This game was created as an assessment item for my Cross-Platform Development subject during my Advanced Diploma of Game Programming at AIE. The game is a clone of Crossy Road, the massively popular game by Hipster Whale.

This game demonstrates the following Unity/Programming principles:

• Game states - initialisation, main game loop, post-game
• Cross-Platform Development - The game was made and tested for PC and Android.
• Random/Procedural Generation - the play area consists of rows that are randomly chosen with random elements (such as rock placement, direction and speed of sharks). A controller class creates the play board, adds new rows as the player progresses, and tidies up/removes rows that move off-screen.
• Touch Inputs - Accepts touch input from a touch device (or mouse control in the PC version) to control the character. Both simple touch control to move forward or directional drag to move multi-directionally.
• Sound - implements sounds on events such as movement or player death.
• Linear Interpolation - The player character moves between movement points using a curve created by interpolating the start point, end point, and a generated point in the air between the two.

Controls:
PC: AWSD or Direction Arrows
Android/PC Mouse: Tap to move forward, tap and drag forwards, backwards, left and right to move the respective direction.
