Game Interface

The controls we have used for our game is the key SPACE for jump, we chose this because it’s the closest key and the biggest key for you to be able to press it, also they are commonly used as a jump key in most computer games. The key ENTER is used to shoot, this is because with your other hand (right) and also is the right hand side of the keyboard so it is a natural position for your hand to be in. We decided to have these two keys as the player playing our game needs to have quick reactions due to it being a fast moving endless runner game with a lot of obstacles in the way to try and avoid such as ninja’s and ninja stars.

When the player collides with a ninja, ninja star or falling down from the platform, it will go to a ‘death’ page where if you would want to restart the game then you have to press space to restart again. We use this key because it is the easiest key to find and isn’t complicated to use this is why we decided to choose it from the others.

We decided to make it so it was for computer only, we decided this because it is easier for the controls to be used and also it is easier to play on a big screen and if we wanted to we could make it into an iphone format, but it would be harder to change from iphone to computer.

Once the secret agent has been hit the music stops, also there is a quite slashing noise to notify that the player has been hit by a ninja star or hit by the ninja, but when the player shoots a bullet, there is a bullet noise which is used to notify that the player has fired a bullet to destroy a ninja.
