Rat Race: On to the Finishing Touches!

Since our last blog post we have made a few revisions to our game. We removed the option to choose a maze generation algorithm, so the game now only uses a Recursive Backtracker maze generation algorithm. Before we also had the level up functionality working, but it was a bit extreme. The maze would get considerable larger with each level up; we now have it working so that the size will only increase slightly.

We've also gotten some power-ups working! Currently we have two power-ups: a block of cheese and a sandwich. They are each worth 1000 points.

We've also added a scoreboard which will display the top ten highest scores along with the initials of the player.

In the next week, we will be adding a directions page to explain how the game works, replace the IntroActivity with a splash screen, and add functionality to the settings menu.
