ClashBots

Fun game involving robot fighting

Introduction

I love playing video games, especially ones involving action. And when I got a chance to make one for the competition, I knew I had to give it a try. So I combined my interest in gaming and coding to come up with ClashBots - a Robot fighting adventure, involving 2 robots- you and Freddy

Play Clashbots

Instructions

  1. Objective - Defeat Freddy by reducing his health down to 0 and defend yourself so your health does not go down to 0. 1 Round. Winner takes all! Also, the ropes will push you back into the field immediately if you get banged against it.

  2. Controls - Arrow keys - Up, Down, Right, Left - to move the bot. S to block and D to attack

An Insight Into The Game

The idea

  • A couple days before we started making our game, my dad told me about a reality TV show called Battle Bots

  • In Battle Bots, 2 real robots fight in an arena with dangerous weapons and tools

  • This is what inspired me to make Clashbots

The challenges

  • Designing the computer controlled player was extremely tricky because of the various combination of moves to be considered

  • Making a complete game in just 2 weeks along with school work and classes

  • Creating a game which is not too difficult or too easy, and fun for the player at the same time

What we used

  • To make our game, we used a website known as Scratch

  • Scratch is a completely free website where you can make your own games. However instead of the traditional text coding, it uses blocks as it's lines of code

  • These blocks can instantly be dragged and dropped into the editor to create programs

  • There are hundreds of different unique blocks to make your games complex

Future Scope / Next Steps

  • Add more levels / backgrounds / arenas

  • Add more difficulties

  • Option to choose robots

  • Introduce shields and super attacks in the field
