Presentation

You will need to present your project for showcase and judged on the following criteria


Content Knowledge and Organization 

Presentation is exceptional.  Presenter presents information in a logical and interesting sequence.  Presenter has a strong understanding of subject matter.  Audience members can effortlessly understand important concepts presented.  Presenter answers all questions with impressive explanations. 


Presentation Skills 

Eye contact is held, with minimal return to notes or slides.  Presenter uses a clear voice, and pronunciation of terms is accurate.  Audience members can hear presenter with ease.  Presenter is confident and comfortable.  He/She makes necessary movements during the presentation, and hands are never in pockets.  Presenter is professionally dressed. 


Participation and Teamwork

Every team member actively participates in a well organized presentation.  Transitions are brief and smooth between topics and speakers. 


PowerPoint and/ or other Visual Aids 

Graphics explain and reinforce presentation.  The slides are without mechanical error.  Text is easy to read and compliments slide background.  Information on slides is clear and relevant.  Information adds to presentation to help clarify verbal points. 


Melee Attack

Create a platform and give it the platform behavior

 Add a new Object

Sprite

Name it Hero

Give it Platform Character Behavior

Name the first Hero Animation "Idle"

Create a second animation with your Hero swinging a sword

Name the animation Attack

Open your Attack Animation

Add a second colission mask for the sword.


DON'T GET ALL WILD WITH THE MASK! SIMPLE SQUARES!!!

Create an Enemy

Go to your events

Condition

Variable Value

 Create out scene variable

Copy the condition into a new event and change the variable to 1

For your action if condition variable is 0, you want to set your Idle Animation to 0

Change the animation on variable 1 to attack

We want to start the game off with the attack variable set to 0

In the event At the beginning of the scene, delete the action and add change variable value

Attack

Set to

0

Set the Hero to flip

Now set the opposite for the right key

This part feels kind of tricky but whatever

Create a new event 

What you want to happen is that after the melee attack animation plays once, it stops and changes the scene variable to 0

This is kind of like the blade we did earlier

 The action will be to change the scene variable of attack to 0

Time to add ther attack

Create a new event

We want two conditions

First condition: Key Pressed Z

Second Condition: The current animation of the Hero is not set to the attack (we will be using inverse)

The reason is that if the animation is already set to the attack, you don't need to change the animation

The action you want is to change the scene variable to 1 (from Idle to Attack)

Add a condition Hero in collision with bad guy and trigger once

Now you need to create a sub event so that it's only going to delete when you are in the attacking animation

If you don't, it will always delete them whenever you are in collision

Now add the action selete bag guy in the sub event
