Introduction

the “The super swing.” The character‘s name is Link. This is game that

will basically demonstrate some basic laws of physics such as parabolic

motion and gravity. It will also include animation as well as some

artificial intelligence.

Technology

DirextX will be used for rendering images. The artwork will be done using paint.

Objective

The object of the game is for Link to successfully swing

throughout the stage without falling onto the spikes or without his rope

being burned. He will have the chance to obtain several power-ups along

the way. However, there are some bad items which will make it difficult

for the character to get through.

Gameplay

Link has the ability to jump. He will obtain several powerups

along the way such as invincibility or the ability to fly. These powerups

are not indefinite since they will be on a time limit. He may also get

something that may make it harder for him to complete the stage. He also

has to be careful about some enemies who throw fire at his rope. If his

rope is 100% burned, he will have to start from the beginning of the

level.
