New Java Game

[York]

I ned to create a game for my Java class as a final project.

I need suggestions. So far I have created the map selector screen and you can choose between a Lunar Level, A grassland level, and a desert level.

I want to make them all different difficulties in what ever you have to do.



Please keep in mind that I do not pay attention in class and I am not the greatest programmer. But I can do a decent amount of stuff. FPS, Adventure, RPG.

Just need some help

I would help, but York has muted me.

Tank wars type game with various powerups, multiplayer, single-player AI if you know how, different terrain, etc. Can't get much better than that IMO, unless it involves little cartoon planes!

If you want an example executable I made a super long time ago shoot me a PM. Can't help with Java since my coding experience is limited to very basic Python.

Edit: I'm sure others will have more creative ideas ^^

I like the enthusiasm, Pie.

Too bad this is an intro course with no experience beyond Alice (which makes my eyes hurt btw). At least the non-existent textures in Eclipse don't look like they were drawn by some guy with 20 mins of photoshop experience ._.

I also dislike Alice because it gives a false visual sense of object creation and whatnot. Even the simplest GUIs were impossible for me when writing actual code.

i suggest making a shmup (shoot-em-up)

make the 3 levels three different difficulties as you said, throw in more bullets, enemies, and a unique boss for each stage.

you could also seperate the 3 stages you mentioned (desert, grassland, lunar) into 3 substages.
for example desert would have levels 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3, where 1-3 would have the boss.

other thoughts are adding weapon powerups and a shopping system in between levels.

Whatever you end up making i'd love to play when your done.

I am doing a first person shooter.

First level is going to be super easy. This is just a school project so I can't make it bloody or anything like that. Lunar, you just gotta shoot up 3 floating in gravity astronauts.

Desert is against a tribe of indians. Here, you can pick up 1 extra power up, a tomahawk. The tomahawk can do something special, maybe break down a tent full of indians.


Then the grasslands will be against some fairies. (hell yes). You get your standard pistol as well as an electric bolt. The eletric bolt will lock on if you hit. So say you hit a fairy, it will bounce shot onto another fairy automatically.

i say you make a game with like plains that chute other plains. the could be called flippy, cow, whale, bipe, and minerva. they could all have special powerups called parks, and there could be powerups floating around in the levels, like a 'drywall' and 'lock on bullet' and 'frontal protecter'. id buy it

Sounds like fun! Please share with us when you finish. I love the fairies idea.
