Lab 9: Intro to Object Oriented Programming and Emergent Systems
(November 5th, 2007)
(November 5th, 2007)
- In this lab / homework assignment, we will be creating a version of the game Lights Out, which we went over in class. Here is a playable version
online, called Disco Puzzle.
- Start with the last example from the code for today.
- Alter the graphics so the light MovieClip looks more like a spot on a grid (with a corresponding "on" and "off" state).
- On the first frame, instead of creating only one grid spot (or light in our previous example), create a grid of them using a 2D array. The user should be able to turn on and off grid spots (and make patterns) by clicking on them.
- Instead of just turning on and off just one grid spot, make it so that when the user clicks a spot, adjacent squares
switch states as well, using the cross pattern seen in Disco Puzzle.
hint: Have your click event handler in your class call a function on your main timeline. This function will then update all the other object in your grid. -
It should work something like this:
- When you are done, post both FLAs and SWFs to your website.
