Bomber Man Remake

The Bomber Man Remake was a final assignment project for an AI class done by myself and Cory (a fellow programmer) in two weeks. We had many tasks we had to cover. I was in charge of the Map Editor as well as AI steering, state behavior, and an A* Pathing Algorithm.

The project was a bit tricky as we made much of it from scratch specifically the editor and collision system.

Editor Snippets

Lines 70-73: Must get the key and mouse events every step with allegro to use for inputs.

Lines 75-80: Set the value at the grid position which will change to the designated sprite when drawn.

Lines 83-86: Cycle through sprites set in loader.

Lines 89-94: Cycle through levels loaded through loader.

Lines 97-98: Save the current level.

Loader Snippet

Lines 38-39: Separates editor and level assets by setting the count assets to 0.

Line 57: Gets the type of the asset/ differentiates between level and editor assets.

Lines 42-44: Gets sprite info, the string for the path, the collision type of the object, and the name.

Line 45: Loads the sprite into the game.

Line 46: Sets the use of the asset in the editor.

Lines 47-48: increments the asset id that will be added to the editor list of sprites. Then increments all assets to be used.

Lines 52-55: Loads Level info to be used in editor and game.

A* Snippets

Line 39: Gets the player position to be used for dist calculation.

Line 41: Checks distance to player, or if the path is greater than 0.

Lines 44-48: Switches to Seek Behavior when player is close enough.

Lines 50-54: Get path if there is no created path.

Line 56: Set the direction the AI should move in.

Line 58: Movement behavior calculation.

Direction Snippet

Lines 81-83: Get AI position and the grid, then use both to get the AI's position on the grid.

Line 87: Get next node in list if there is no current node or the current node is arrived at

Line 91: Get the direction vector to the next node.

Line 92: Debug for the direction.
