Dino Christmas Game

Inspiration

Google Chrome Dino Run Game

• (The one that appears when you search on Google Chrome with no wifi)

What It Does

Play as a dinosaur and hop over Christmas trees and limbo under clouds.

How We Built It

Programmed with Java, creating classes, event listeners, objects, methods, and much more.

Challenges I Ran Into

• Getting the dino to jump up and down smoothly
• Colliding the trees with the dino
• The constant moving of the trees/moving background

Accomplishments That I'm Proud of

• Getting a cute dino that jumps smoothly when the user clicks the space bar
• A moving background that enhances the running effect and creates a real ambiance
• The game over situation

What We Learned

We learned so much about Java Graphics and painting in Java. How to upload and use an image as an object in the class and getting objects to move smoothly across a screen and repeat. We also learned much more about event and key listeners; we were total beginners to them at first but are now familiarized.

What's Next for Dino Christmas Game

• Photoshop the trees so that they are cropped closer and don't have a white border
• Delay the dino falling so that he can jump over the trees completely
• Add a Collision Event Listener that will end the game when the dino hits a tree
• Add a score counter and an end of game screen that displays your score when the dino dies Dino New Years Game!!!
• And more seasonal Dino Christmas Game versions!
