CodingMania-Game

The goal of this group project is to design, implement, test, and evaluate an arcade-style 2D game managed and built in Apache Maven. The player controls the main character from the start point to the end point through barriers and the enemies on the board.

The main character should collect the rewards that are placed at various places on the map. The score of the player, which is the accumulation of all rewards, and the playtime are shown on the screen. The player wins by reaching the "exit" cell after collecting all "regular" rewards on the board. The player loses if the main character encounters or is caught by a moving enemy, or the overall score becomes negative. Each moving character can move at most one cell at each \tick" of the game, as described below.

See Project-Phase1,2,3, and 4 for more detail.
