Canyon Rescue is a one button target game programmed using Java and Processing during my last year of University.
Canyon Rescue was programmed in processing using the fsica physics engine. Other then the mechanics provided by the physics engine all other systems have been programmed from the ground up.
The player's objective is to deliver the crates to the isolated hut by releasing the swinging to launch it across the screen. As the player progresses through the levels,the hut moves further from the delivery shuttle,the stone structures around the hut increase in numbers and height to increase difficulty. The position of the obstacles are randomised within specific parameters, this makes the gaming experience unpredictable. At times the levels can be almost impossible, or the complete opposite depending on how lucky the player is with the levels.
