To begin, install the latest version of the Slime.vb and Slimeball.vb files. Find on the Portal or download and extract from here.

• Start a new Visual Studio project.
• Open the Project menu and select Add Existing Item...
• Find the Slime.vb file and click Add.
• Repeat the process and add the Slimeball.vb file.

Starter Code:

• As of 5-15-08

Code for keeping Score (include this around the existing CheckSlimeBounce command):

If sball1.CheckSlimeBounce(slime1) Then

score = score + 1

Label1.Text = score

End If

Requirements: Be sure you have the following features in your program:

• Ball moves and bounces
• Slime moves and jumps
• Keyboard controls the game (start game and move slime)
• Ball "bounces" off of slime
• Track score
• Add lives capability (or some other way that the game comes to an end)
• Ability to pause and resume the game
• Some way to start/restart the game
• Some form of difficulty levels (size of slime changes, size of ball changes, speed of ball changes, etc)
• Add help
• Add a nicely designed interface (something more than just a background color or background image)
• Add some additional feature(s) to your program (you choose). Something additional is needed in order to get an A.

Grading

• Download and print the evaluation form (get it here)
• Fill it out as the programmer.
• Have two others test your program and complete their part.
• Then have Mr. J do a final evaluation and grade.

Ideas for additional features:

• Add multiple players or multiple balls
• Add a "net" between sides
• Add cheat codes
