Angry Birds Game - AP Edition

By Pranshu (2023385) & Animish Yadav (2023089)

This project is a clone of the classic Angry Birds game, built using the LibGDX framework as part of the CSE201 (Advanced Programming) course. The game demonstrates object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, design patterns, and serialization concepts.

Overview

Angry Birds Game - AP Edition challenges players to use a slingshot to defeat pigs hidden within structures. The game incorporates physics-based gameplay, OOP principles, and clean design practices. It also supports saving and restoring progress through serialization.

---

Features

Core Gameplay

• Slingshot mechanics: drag to aim and launch birds.
• Birds with different speeds and impacts.
• Pigs with varying durability and size.
• Structures with blocks made of wood, glass, and steel.

Levels

• Three unique levels, each with varying difficulties and setups.

Serialization

• Save and restore game progress, including:
  • Remaining birds.
  • Hits dealt to pigs and structures.
  • Collapsed structures.

Bonus Features (if implemented):

• Multiple user profiles.
• Sound effects and background music.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure the following are installed:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher.
• Gradle (optional, if you don't use the Gradle wrapper).

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Pranshu-iiitd/Angry_Birds.git
   cd Angry_Birds

2. Build the project using Gradle:

   ./gradlew build

3. Run the game:

   ./gradlew run

---

Controls

• Drag: Aim the slingshot.
• Release: Launch the bird.
• Menu Options:
  • Save: Save current game state.
  • Load: Restore a saved game state.

---

Gameplay

• Launch birds at structures to destroy pigs.
• Win by defeating all pigs within the available birds.
• Lose if all birds are used without defeating all pigs.
• Each bird, pig, and block type has unique properties:
  • Birds vary in speed and damage.
  • Pigs and blocks vary in durability.

---

Design Highlights

1. OOP Principles:
   • Inheritance: Birds and pigs are derived from base classes.
   • Polymorphism: Special abilities for different birds.
   • Interfaces: Game mechanics and event handling.
2. Design Patterns:
   • Composite: Used in materials and it's derived classes.
   • State: Used in switching between different menus and screens.
   • Strategy: Used in bird movement and collision detection.
   • Observer: Used in event handling and notifications.
3. Serialization:
   • Saves and restores gameplay progress.

Testing

JUnit tests are implemented to ensure game components work as expected:

• Physics calculations.
• Serialization and deserialization.
• Level completion checks.
• A total of 23 tests are implemented.
