The plot:
You are under attack by the military, and you must shoot them to defend youself. The enemies maneuver around walls and try to shoot back at you. Survive as long as you can. This game uses a physical replica gun to shoot with in the game using openCV libraries. The replica gun is composed of a simple RG LED along with some resistors connect to a 4-pin button. The gun has a blue marker on it that serves as the color tracked for the motion of the target, while the ON/OFF stage of the LED signals the shooting.
====================================================================================
The program:
This final project consists of an integration between python OOP and OpenCV libraries. The player has a given health indicated by a health bar. That health decreases as enemies shoot at you, or reach the end of the display window. An interesting algorithm was implemented that allows the GIFs enemies to scale and become larger as they approach you. Enemies can hide behind walls and protect themselves, while your goal is to stay alive!
