# Boole Bots Game
|
||||
|
||||
**Tier:** 3-Advanced
|
||||
|
||||
Boole Bots is a game that is not only fun, but also an aid in helping to
|
||||
understand basic Boolean logic. This game has an arena of 8x8 game tiles in
|
||||
which your bots move at random speeds and trajectories. The Bots are assigned
|
||||
boolean values of 0 or 1 and boolean operations - AND, OR, NOR, NOT.
|
||||
|
||||
When a bot collides with another bot its boolean operation is applied to both
|
||||
it and the other bots' boolean value to determine which one wins or looses, or
|
||||
if the collision results in a tie. Loosing bots disappear and winning bots
|
||||
continue moving about the arena until only one remains.
|
||||
|
||||
### Requirements & Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- Developers may use graphics and game physics libraries to build the game.
|
||||
|
||||
## User Stories
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the game window with these components
|
||||
- Game configuration input panel
|
||||
- Leaderboard showing bots ranked by their scores
|
||||
- Game controls
|
||||
- Arena of 8x8 game tiles where the bots battle
|
||||
|
||||
### Game Configuration Panel
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a game configuration panel with these subcomponents:
|
||||
- Four bot panels with controls to allow the user to input a unique bot
|

|
||||
- [ ] User can enter a unique name for each bot into an input text box
|
||||
- [ ] User can see an error message if the name entered is the same name
|
||||
assigned to another bot.
|
||||
- [ ] User can move the speed slider to set a bots speed
|
||||
- [ ] User can select a bots starting direction from the direction dropdown.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the bot randomly assigned to a tile in the arena once its
|
||||
name has been defined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Game Controls
|
||||
- [ ] User can a button in the game control panel to 'Battle!'
|
||||
- [ ] User can click the 'Battle!' button to start the bot battle in the arena.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see bots move based on the speed and direction assigned to them.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the 'Battle!' button text change to 'Stop!' once a battle
|
||||
is started.
|
||||
- [ ] User can click the 'Stop!' button to halt gameplay
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the 'Stop!' button text change back to 'Battle!' once a
|
||||
single bot wins the match.
|
||||
|
||||
### Arena
|
||||
- [ ] User can see bots bounce off the boundary walls of the arena in a new
|
||||
direction
|
||||
- [ ] User can see bots pause for an instant when they collide.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a bot disappear after colliding if the result of it's
|
||||
boolean operation appied to its boolean value and that of the bot is has
|
||||
collided with result in 0.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a bot that wins a collision resume its path at the same
|
||||
speed and direction.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see both colliding bots resume their paths at the same speed
|
||||
and direction in the event of a tie. In other words, when the collision resulted
|
||||
in the same boolean result (0 or 1) for both.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see gameplay stop when only one bot remains.
|
||||
|
||||
### Leaderboard
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the display of wins and losses for each bot on the
|
||||
leaderboard
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the tally of wins incremented for bots winning a collision.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see the tally of losses decremented for bots loosing a collision.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bonus features
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a log panel displaying the details of game milestones.
|
||||
Hint: This may be useful to the Developer during development and debugging.
|
||||
- [ ] User can see a game clock displaying current elapsed game time that is
|
||||
updated every second.
|
||||
- [ ] User may choose a bots starting direction as North, Northeast, Southeast,
