Color Blocks

Inspiration

Inspired by basic games which still provide entertainment even though the game may be composed of simple shapes.

What it does

A game in which you control a block and try to match your block's color with those of the falling block.

How I built it

The project was built in java.

Challenges I ran into

When trying to implement a deltaTime to have more accurate movement that would be consistent on different frame rates, we ran into issues with the game and just decided to have game updates tied to framerate. We ran into issues when building the project.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Allowing the player to have set velocities an accelerations in order to move realistically.

What I learned

Java graphics with swing timer and user input.

What's next for Color Blocks

Fixing the build of the project. Adding a main menu and instructions. General polishing. The movement especially seems jittery.
