System Design
As the team leader, the group brainstormed and finalised a way for the train to escape the maze within a time limit, avoiding damage.
​
I designed the logical settings for the behavior of the small train.
​
Logic - Small Train
-
3 compartments at birth, 1 for the head and 2 for the body.
-
Move one frame forward in the direction of the locomotive movement when in motion.
-
No turnaround when length is greater than 1 frame; when length is 1 frame (i.e. when only the front end is available), you can move in 4 frame directions (up, down, left, right).
-
Train length equals life, 1 cell is 1 blood, i.e. 3 blood at birth.
-
When discovered by the enemy, a carriage is removed and its blood is reduced by 1. This carriage disappears after the explosion animation.
-
Game fails when blood level is 0.
