Nigel - Hello + MULTIPLAYER SQAURE SURVIVAL ADVENTURE 3036

I'm Nigel Munoz, a computer science sophomore at Williams College. I enjoy attempting to create neat things. I'll be flailing my arms while attempting the Hardcore48 format.

Attached is the only photo I think I have.

My project for this thingamajig:

Title: MULTIPLAYER SQAURE SURVIVAL ADVENTURE 3036 (Working Title)

Description: You run around on a server trying to explore, kill things, and not die.

Goal: My primary goal is to experience Java as a game programming language. I'm used to programming within the C family, so I expect it to be a change of pace. Because of this, I've decided to go with a less than creative project.

-Game Mockup-

Survival against the circles.

Plan:

1. Be able to control a square on a blank map.
2. Be able to have a friend connect to a server and control another square on the same map.
3. Create simple circle AI and enemy generation code.
4. Create an actual map. (Possibly random if time allows.)
5. Add things like health, inventory, ect.
6. Add a few goals. (Maybe a giant circle boss?)
7. Other things that I probably don't have time for.
8. Hope that nothing explodes. 

I'll reveal more in a separate post.
