Death Wall Monster

Purpose

The purpose of this feature is to create a sense of pressure for the player to move forward and this is more in keeping with the escape theme of the game. In detail, when the game starts, a death wall monster will slowly move from the left edge of the map to the right edge of the map. When the player is overtaken by the death wall, the player will be killed instantly.

Functionality

Create Death Wall

Use the createDeathWall function in ObstacleFactory.java to create a death wall entity and use spawnDeathWall to generate it in the map. The location setting of the spawnDeathWall can be customized if required and will default to the far left of the map.

The insta-kill functionality was simple to implement. Within ObstacleFactory, a CombatStatsComponent was added to the deathWall and given a base attack of 100:

.addComponent(new CombatStatsComponent(config.health, 100))

a .atlas file was then used to add animations to the serpent
