Project Notes
Project: Art Gallery Baby
Author: Brion Scheidel
Instructions:
Game play is extremely simple - use the mouse to move your character left and
right to catch the art pieces and the baby before they hit the floor. Each art
piece has a color-coded price tag affixed to it - Red = $1,000; Yellow = $500;
Green = $100. You begin with $10,000. Your score is the number of art pieces
you save before running out of money (to pay for the ones you don't catch) or
failing to catch the baby when she jumps off a shelf. After clearing one wall
of shelves, the baby jumps off a shelf, wriggles out of your arms with even more
energy and heads for the next wall of shelves (i.e., the next screen). Each
successive screen contains more red-tagged items than the previous screen, and
the baby moves faster and drops art pieces at a faster rate.
Click the left mouse button to pause/resume the game.
Art Gallery Baby
Things to do...
- Animate baby crawling
- Animate pieces spinning as falling
- More background music pieces
- Bonus screen after each 4 walls cleared (art work flying around randomly; earn money for each piece you catch before it hits the floor; sort of like bonus
screens in Galaga)
- Have broken pieces collect on floor - shop keeper comes out and sweeps up
periodically.
