What is Goose on the Loose?

Goose on the loose is a 2-D platform game where you play a cheeky thief with a penchant for goose

eggs.

Collect good eggs to raise your score, but be careful not to collect the bad eggs or your hard work

will all be for nothing! Oh, and watch out for the stumps and the overhead geese dropping lethal ### poops. Avoid trips and poops to reach the highest score.

Move your thief with the left and right arrows and jump over obstacles with space.

How we built it

First we made a prototype to test some of the functionality and see how the game would come

together. Then we took elements from the prototype and implemented them into C# where we

added more complex elements and functions based on what we designed.

Challenges we ran into

As none of us have coded a platform game before, we initially experienced difficulties with

movement and the jump motion (particularly getting the character back down after a jump/

simulating gravity. We also experienced a challenge generating random numbers for functions.

We also had issues with enemy game mechanics such as pooping from the Geese.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

 We are happy with the game mechanics we have implemented. We worked well as a team together

and all played to our strengths in different roles. Our team was made up of 4 first-time hackers, who

arrived not knowing anybody and not knowing what to expect, and managed to successfully

develop a working game. We were persistent despite challenges and repeated failures and we also

 had a safety through making backup plans and solutions.

What we learned

We learned how to make a platform game in C#. We learned to play to everyone's strengths. We

have learnt to be respectful and resilient. We have learnt to be patient with each other. Finally we

have learnt communicate effectively.

What's next for Goose on the Loose

With more time and effort we aspire to make more levels with increasing difficulty. For example the

stumps we used could be made bigger and the distance between them could be shortened to

increase the challenge. We could also increase the speed the obstacles move towards the player.

The next iteration of Goose on the Loose will also include animated characters.
