ROADMAP for the Capture the Flag Game

This is a rough roadmap for the game. It is subject to change as I go along.

Phase 1: Game Core and Basic Mechanics

• Create simple game character and bullet mechanics. For now use keyboard input to control the character.
• Create simple tilemap and use it to create a simple map. Remember to implement collisions.
• Create a base character class that has the following properties and connect these properties to the game mechanics:
  • Movement speed (MS)
  • Character rotation speed (RS)
  • Damage dealt (DMG)
  • Base spread (BS)
  • Spread multiplier (SM)
  • Spread recovery speed (RR)
  • Fire Rate (FR)
  • view distance (VD)
  • view angle (VA)
  • Bullet speed (BlS)
  • health (HP)
• use the base character class to create the following classes:
  • Assault (A)
  • Sniper (S)
  • Runner (R) worry about balancing later
• Implement the flag carrier role
• add buffs and debuffs of the flag carrier
• implement inner and outer circle damage
• implement the flag drop on death and flag pickup on touch
• implement the flag capture when the attacker flag carrier stays in the base for 10 seconds
• implement the timer for the round
• implement the win conditions for the round

Phase 2: AI and Game Logic

• Implement the CharacterStatus, BulletStatus and CharacterCommands classes
• use the python AST library to sanitize user code
• implement the init() and update() functions
• implement the fixed frame rate mechanic
