DARKWAR POOL 3.6.2022






This is a game written in JAVA.
You have to destroy the enemies coming from the upper side of the gamefield in this 2D-game. You move your player object with mouseclicks and quit the game with the key ESC. You play for ten minutes and try to get as much points as possible. There are three modes for playing the game.

diving:
Click on the gamefield to select the position of the player object. You start with a second click. The player object moves to the position of the second click. If the player object stops, you can make it move again with another click. If the player object moves, it damages the enemies, if it his them. If it doesn't move and hits an enemy, you get minus points. The enemies with less arrows drawn on them are easier to eliminate.

shooting:
Click on the gamefield to select the position of the player object. You start with a second click. The player object moves to the position of the second click. Then you can shoot in the direction of the next clicks three times. The fourth click selects a position, where the player object moves to. Then you switch between shooting and moving in a loop until you quit with the ESC key or you played longer than ten minutes.
The player object doesn't damage the enemies, if it hits them while it is moving. It is damaged by them, if it doesn't move and is hit by them. The player object can't be damaged, if it moves. If a shot hits its target, it causes one point energy damage. The number of the arrows drawn on the enemies is equal to the initial energy value.
