A 2D platform game written in Java about the character: Stickman. Play stickman as he defeats enemies and gain power ups while traversing through different levels until reaching the end goal.
Go to your terminal and type in the path of the program so that you will go to the local project directory and type "gradle run" to run the program in gradle. Use 'gradle build' to build the program. The program can also be run using gradle run and gradle build within Intellij.
The JSON file is located in "file:src/main/java/stickman/model/StickmanModel.json"
The JSON file is broken down into several sections while contains the levels of the game that can be loaded in GameConfiguration. Each level also contains information about the entities of the game. Each Entity is further divided into subsections such as "XVelocity","YVelocity","Height" ,"Width","XPos" and "YPos" which are the X-axis velocities, Y-axis velocities, Height ,Width, X-axis Position of the Entity as well as the Y-axis Position of the entity. The file can be configured and edited and the java class that parses the information in GameConfiguration.
Click the left arrow button to make the player move left and click the right arrow button to make the player more right. Player can collide with the blocks and can land on it. However, if the player makes contact with the enemy (slimes) on the left or right side then it will reset to its original, if the player jumps on it then it disappears. The player wins by reaching the door at the end of the level, ending the game.
