Motherload

Gather resources and buy upgrades to dig as far as you can. You have to dig ores and sell them to earn cash which you use to buy fuel, digger upgrades, explosives, and other supplies. You can only sell ore and buy items at the surface. If you run out of fuel, your digger explodes and you die (game over). There are more valuable (and heavier) ores as you go deeper into the mine. There are several types of alien artifacts which are of considerable value and appear randomly throughout the mine (below 950 feet).

## About The Project ![screenshot.jpg](Assets%2Fscreenshot.jpg) Here's why: * It's a classic game that I played when I was younger. * It's a game that I can make in a reasonable amount of time.

## My version This section gives a clear and detailed overview of which parts of the original game I planned to make. ### The minimum I will most certainly develop: * Player movement * Resource Collection * Random Generated world * The fuel and sell building ### What I will probably make as well: * Dying * Working Lava ### What I plan to create if I have enough time left: * Main Menu, Options Screen * Boss fight

## Class structure ### Object composition #### Player The player has a bunch of objects in the Player class, These are - Animations - Particles - SoundEffects #### WorldLevel The world level contains all the objects for the "Main" Game. These are - Player - GridManager - Background Music - MainScreen (Game UI) - The Sun and Moon ### Inheritance Here are a couple examples on how i used Inheritance throughout the project. #### Screens The Screen class is the base class for all the screens in the game.
This Class manages all the GuiElements inside of it.
Also all the subscreens, eg. FuelScreen, SellScreen, even the Main Game ui is a subclass of the Screen type. #### GuiElement The whole Screen system is based on the GuiElement. This class has a Draw and Update Function.
This is because the Screen class calls these for each of the subclasses of a GuiElement.
For Example, the Button class is a subclass of GuiElement.
The Button class has a Draw and Update function that the Screen class calls. The screen does not know what type of
update it's calling, it just knows that it's calling the update function of a GuiElement.
