The following is a list of all the features that have been attempted:

Core Functionality (all levels)		14%
4	Projectile shooting	Shoot towards mouse (1 mark). Shot strength depends on how long you hold down the mouse button for (1 mark). Projectile is shot once button released (1 mark). Projectile follows a ballistic trajectory, i.e. like a ball thrown through the air (1 mark).
2	Projectile aiming line	Line shows direction of shot (1 mark). Line length represents shot strength (1 mark).
2	Projectile collisions	Projectiles collide with the terrain, obstacles, and the enemy (1 mark). Projectiles create an explosion at a predefined radius (1 mark).
2	Projectile damage / enemy health	Projectiles do damage based on the distance between the collision point and the enemy. A direct hit should kill the enemy (1 mark) and the enemy should not be damaged if outside the explosion radius (1 mark).
2	Ammo	The player should start each level with 10 ammo (1 mark). Each shot should reduce the ammo count by one (1 mark).
2	Level completion / game over	The level ends in two ways: when the player has run out of ammo (and the enemy is still alive) (1 mark), and when the enemy's health has been depleted (1 mark).

Extra Functionality (all levels)		7%
4	Visual style and feel	Game is aesthetically pleasing, and levels play well.
1	Trail	Projectile has a trail (1 mark).
2	Post processing	Effect (or effects) matches overall visual style of game (2 marks).

User Interface (all levels)		15%
5	Title screen with level select	Can be same or separate scenes (note that if using separate scenes, SceneSwitcherKeys script will need to be modified -- see exam lecture).
2	In-game UI	The enemy's health is visually shown (1 mark). The amount of ammo remaining is visually shown (1 mark).
3	Start of level text	Display a message for 2 seconds: level number and title (1 mark), brief description of that level's mechanics (1 mark). Animated (1 mark).
3	End of level text	Display a congratulations screen for 3 seconds after a level is completed (1 mark). Message should be from a random set of messages of your choosing (1 mark). Shows statistics about how many shots were needed to finish the level (1 mark).
2	Game mechanics locked	Can't aim (1 mark) or shoot (1 mark) while the start or end level text is being shown.

Level 1 – Default		2%
2	Functionality	Simple level with no modifications.

Level 2 – Black Hole		2%
2	Functionality	Sucks projectiles towards it (1 mark), and is fun to play (1 mark).

Level 3 – Homing Missiles		5%
4	Functionality	Projectiles move on normal (i.e. ballistic) trajectory for one second (1) and then starts homing towards the enemy (1 mark). Turning towards the enemy should be gradual (1 mark) and homing missiles should not exceed original projectile's initial speed (1 mark) -- this isn't realistic, but is more fun to watch.
1	Visual Feedback	Homing missile should have a visual representation of the change from ballistic movement to homing movement (1 mark).

Level 4 – Shield		4%
2	Shield	Enemy has a shield that must be hit three times (1 mark) before enemy can be destroyed (1 mark).
2	Visual feedback	Shield shows a different visual representation for EACH level of "health" (2 marks) OR Shield displays in text how much health it has remaining (2 marks).

Level 5 – Moving Bouncy Barriers		3%
2	Moving bouncy barriers	Moving barriers follow a predetermined path (1 mark) and cause projectiles to bounce of them appropriately (1 mark).
1	Correctly resetting	Barriers only reset when level is reloaded, not after each shot (1 mark).

Level 6 – Cluster Bomb		6%
2	Functionality	When projectile hits the terrain (or the enemy), it explodes as normal (1 mark), but releases five extra projectiles in random directions and velocities (1 mark).
2	Spawning Action	Extra projectiles always move generally away from the surface that the main projectile hit (2 mark). For example, if hitting a horizontal surface while moving downwards, they all go somewhat upwards, if hitting a vertical surface while moving left, they all go somewhat right. More technically: spawned projectiles are created with velocities whose angles are no more than 90 degrees away from the contact normal.
2	Extra projectile functionality	Each extra projectile functions just like a smaller version of the main projectile both visually (1 mark) and in functionality, i.e. smaller projectile and smaller explosion radius and damage (1 mark).
