HOCKEY2D A C++ Videogame Using the SDL 2.0 Library By PaintedLady

What is the SDL Library? Commonly used to write high-performance video games and other multimedia Offers a wrapper around the OS-specific functions the game engine needs to access Allows us to focus on the game, not the integration

What is Hockey2D? It’s a competitive 1 v 1 sports video game on Windows A Hockey Game: - Players skate on the ice (ice physics) - Players try to score goals, and prevent the opponent from scoring - Players control one skater each. A Platformer: - Platforms add & balance gameplay - Simple movements - Easily picked up by new players

Quick Prototype Demo

Iterative Development Keep playing & readjusting existing build to: - tweak & perfect existing gameplay elements - iteratively add new features & assets (such as nets, scoreboard, etc) - ensure gameplay feels smooth and natural - Make game fun Elements of the game we can tweak through iterative development: - Physics elements (how the puck feels, player acceleration) - Player actions (shooting, body-checking…) - Speed of moving nets…

What makes Hockey2D fun? Read & React Gameplay Easy to pickup, hard to master Organic sports-like experience

Read & React Gameplay See opponent’s moves Execute your counter move successfully Use ingenuity and timing to beat opponents mid ice

See & React: Skill elements Win Faceoff (Randomly timed puck drops in the middle) Beat the defenseman mid-ice Time & Aim shot against a moving net to score goal Use good positioning and player actions to stop the opponent On Offense On Defense

Easy to pickup, hard to master Basic actions such as skating, moving the puck around is simple More complex actions: Successfully performing a deke move to counter opponent’s body checks Flipping the puck up to an upper platform to obtain a free line of shooting towards the opponent’s net Should you gamble on defense to try and get a breakaway after you steal the puck, or should you play passive and try to protect your net?

Organic Sports-Like Experience Highly Replayable Play versus your friends Hockey is fast-paced & has many elements that translate well into a videogame.
