You are a delivery driver aiming to do your round. Deliver to all the houses you can without falling victim to the dangers of suburbia.
If worse comes to worst, you can always borrow whatever happens to lie inside your parcels for a helping hand.
Just remember in the Gigabit Economy the deliveries you make (and the ones you don't) affect the score your company gives you at the end of the day.
- move using
W/A/S/Dor thearrow-keys - attack enemies/collect parcels with
spacebar - open parcels with

Avoid making commits directly to main branch.
- Commit to a feature branch (feature/[name]) and then open a pull request once functionality is complete
- Remember to make clear commit messages and add comments and updated to the GitHub issues when appropriate
- Do not independently push / merge to main without having your code reviewed
- Remember to interact with and update the issue pages. This helps keep a clear log of progress
- GigabitEconomy.java is used to control what's actually shown and active essentially and extends the Game LibGDX class. This is where we set the active screen etc.
- screens/LevelScreen.java is used as an abstract class for all level classes to inherit from (includes all the code shared between levels such as hit collision and adding background textures etc). screens/MenuScreen doesn't inherit from it as it is just a Scene2d UI screen
- screens/plotScreen is an abstract class that provides the template for plot screesn that the user views before entering the level providing story and additional information.
- sprites/tiled/MovingSprite.java is used as an abstract class for all moving sprite classes (currently Player and Enemy) to inherit from
- sprites/tiled/StaticSprite.java is used as a superclass for all static sprites, but unlike MovingSprite can be instantiated itself without any subclass
- sprites/GameObject.java is used as a superclass for any game objects using screen coordinates as opposed to tiles for placement; these are always static and cannot be moved once first placed
Each level should extend the LevelScreen class, passing the following arguments to super()'s constructor:
- director the instance of the game director (GigabitEconomy.java)
- player the player character for the level (Player)
- enemies an ArrayList containing all enemy characters for the level
- staticSprites an ArrayList containing all static sprites, including Houses, for the level
- backgroundTexture the background graphic (png texture) of the level
Each of these should be instantiated as constant properties in your subclass to LevelScreen.
The screen can then be added to the game director (GigabitEconomy.java) class's switchScreen() statement by adding it to the switch statement. To show the screen to the user, call switchScreen(), passing the name of the screen as defined in the switch statement.
