GD Ruby’s 2D Adventure P2

Ruby #1
Ruby #2
Ruby #3
Ruby #4

Project Description

Follow the online Unity tutorial to create a game using the Ruby’s Adventure. The tutorials covered include

  1. Game Environment and Physics
    1. Implement object collisions for your 2D game
    2. Set up tilemap collision
  2. Health System
    1. Set up a basic health system
    2. Create a health collectible using triggers
    3. Check character health before destroying collectibles
    4. Add damage zones to decrease health

Your game must include all of the the things from Ruby Rubric #1 plus the following:

  1. Main Character – Ruby
    1. Moves in front of and behind objects properly.
    2. Can be blocked by certain tiles.
    3. Has a health variable that can be decreased by damage areas and increased by health pickups.
    4. Can become invincible for a short while after taking damage. 
  2. Decorations that Block Movement
    1. At least one decoration collides with Ruby properly.
    2. Rigidbody and box colliders are set and resized properly.
    3. Ruby moves in front of and behind objects properly without rotating or jittering.
  3. Tiles that Block Movement
    1. At least one tile blocks movement, like a water block.
    2. The tilemap collider has been adjusted so that all of those tiles block movement.  
  4. Collectibles
    1. At least one block can increase Ruby’s health.
    2. The box collider, trigger, and code of the collectible have been set properly. 
  5. Damage Zones
    1. At least one damage zone can decrease Ruby’s health.
    2.  Ruby has an invincible time so that when she takes damage, she becomes invincible for a short period to avoid losing all her health too fast. 
  6. Enemies
    1. At least one Robot enemy has been created. 
    2. The robot can move smoothly back and forth. 
    3. The robot will damage Ruby’s health if it collides with her. 
  7. Game Mechanics
    1. Ruby and the enemies move in a logical and easy to understand way.
    2. The tiles and decorations create a world that is easy to move around.
  8. Game Dynamics
    1. Interactions between Ruby and the world (tiles, enemies, and decorations) are logical and easy to follow. 
    2. Ruby moves in front of and behind objects appropriately.
  9. Game Aesthetics
    1. The level is a more of a tutorial on how to work the game mechanics.
    2. The game has a medium to low difficulty level.
    3. Playing the game is enjoyable and you want to see what comes next.
