Spelunker is a game designed by Andreu Sacasas and Marc Torres as a project for Videogame Development, a subject from UPC university.

It was made with the objective of fullfill 3 basic requisites from the subject:
1 - Creating two different levels for a platformer with different layers in tiled.
2 - Having enemies in game that use pathfinding to reach the player or to interact with the map.
3 - Having a user interface functional, with buttons, main menu and everithing necessary to make the game look good.

As for the work of each member:

Andreu Sacasas:

• Design of the two maps
• Extracted sprites for the game
• Animations for the player and enemies
• UI Polish

Marc Torres:

• Pathfinding Implementation
• Entity Management (Controls, Movement, Collisions)
• UI Structurization and base integration
• Collision Optimization (tiled object load and active object check)

Both:

-Player physics
-Delta time for animations/physics
-Load infromation from tiled to the game

Innovation:

• Collision Optimization through active object checking:

  Only object with need of collision management will actively detect collisions. This allows for:

  • More collision search and have better position of these objects.
  • Less iterations for collision detection.

Instructions:

• A - Move left
• D - Move right
• Space - Jump

If you press the jump button when you are already jumping and next to a wall you will perform a walljump (it only works if you are going up from the previous jump, if you are falling you cannot use it. It will give you an extra boost to jump higher.

• F1 - Start from the very first level
• F2 - Start from the beginning of the current level
• F5 - Save the current state
• F6 - Load the previous state
• F7 - Change Level
• F9 - View Colliders
• F10 - God Mode:

  -The player is able to move the camera with the arrows.
  -The player won’t be able to pass the level while in this mode, neither using the special keys nor finishing the level.
  -Enemies cannot damage the player, but they will knockback him/her anyways.
  -Using WASD in god mode allows it to fly around the map but the jump ability is disabled.

• F11 - Enable/Disable Fps cap to 30
• ”+” to increase volume
• ”-“ to decrease volume
