Overview

Cluck Cluck Moo is an infinitely scrolling vertical jumping game, inspired by classics like PapiJump and the amazing Winterbells.

Cluck Cluck Moo is easy to learn but hard to master: the controls are as simple as moving the mouse, but will still easily eat up hours of your time as you try to reach a new high score.

Libraries and Technologies used

• JavaScript
  • All core game logic
• Easel.js
  • Animate sprites, load files, play sounds, and track framerate
• jQuery
  • Simple DOM manipulation
• Firebase
  • Track high scores globally
• Cookies.js
  • Track personal high scores

Implementation Details

Uses a promise object to check global high score before resolving the promise and drawing high scores on screen.

  let highScore;
  getScore().then((score) => {
    highScore = score;
    let newHighScore = false;
    if (chicken.score > highScore) {
      updateScore(chicken.score);
      highScore = chicken.score;
      newHighScore = true;
    }
    drawScoreBox(chicken, highScore, newHighScore);
  });

Additionally checks local high score by reading from a cookie.

  const getPersonalHighScore = (chicken) => {
    const highScore = docCookies
      .getItem('highScore') || chicken.score;
    if (chicken.score > highScore) {
      docCookies.setItem('highScore', `${chicken.score}`);
    }
    return highScore;
  };

Future Features

• Global Leaderboard stored in firebase.

cluck-cluck-moo's Issues

Difficulty

The game is way too easy right now, should get harder intelligently.

High Scores aren't kept track of

Either make a rails server on heroku or just store it in a cookie

Instructions and dialogs

Should show score etc when you lose and also instructions when you start

Collision detection for trampolines not quite right

Seems like it's detecting a collision starting a bunch of pixels above the actual trampoline.
