Requirement 1: Mini Map

Requirement 2: Ability to Save

Requirement 11: Loading Screen

Requirement 19: Help Menu

MiniMap

We will use the coordinates that Coco has to place a red dot on a mini map of the entire world. This same system will be adapted for all 4 worlds of the game, and be open for any future worlds. Since Coco is always in the center of the map the mini map will never cover Coco.

Ability to Save

Generate an option to save the game. Possible to add in a 'save house' Create/modify a file to store all relevant data Multiple save files will be possible, up to 3.

Loading will take the structured save file and read it into a buffer before storing it. All data will be checked for “fairness” before loading so issues can be avoided

Loading Screen

User presses ‘a’ to access another land.

Goal: Provide players with feedback on system state/progress.Uses: Initial launch of the game, level transitions, minigames

Before:Trigger action (load game, minigame, etc.)Wait…“What’s going on?” [frustration]Oh!

After:Trigger action (load game, minigame, etc.)“OK, it’s loading.” [content]
