Voxos is a 2D side scrolling game developed in Racket. It uses the Lux, Mode-Lambda, and Rsound libraries. It's a fun way to explore a real world project using Racket, functional programming, and data abstraction. I learned real-world applications of the lessons learned in class.
- Data abstraction was used for the environment, player, enemies, and sound
- Recursion was used in graphics, events, sound and music rendering, sound processing, and other events
- Filter was used primarily with enemy, and environmental objects to process effects, and game events
- State modification was used with to manage the player and enemy states
- I interacted with a graphics database that stores sprites
- I generated and processing sound effects and music
- I created all new art source material
- I created all new sound effects source material
- I used externally sourced music
- All existing data I need was easily converted using web based tools
- At the end of the project I have a playable level with graphics, sound effects, and music
- The game is interactive and playable
- I am successful in creating a functional game
- The functional game includes player movement, and player interaction
- EVERYTHING
- all environment interaction
- all player movement
- all player interaction
- all collision detection
- all artwork - backgrounds, player, enemies, effects
- all sound effects - sound effects, sound processing
- all music - music, music processing, streaming objects
