Assignment (the game)
You need to add as many of the essential missing features for the game Block Breaker in order to fulfill most player expectations. Use the list of User Stories to identify the features with the most value and incorporate them in your game. You don’t have to do them all, but the stories you choose must met the MVP (Minimum viable product) requirements, to get the approval of the teacher (Product Owner).
Assignment (the presentation document)
Your assignment also requires a written document. You need to include the following:
1) A list of all the user stories and/or tasks included in the game.
2) A list of all the external resources/references and credits for libraries, assets or fonts you
haven’t created by yourself.
3) A user manual, with the default controls layout and supported input devices (keyboard, mouse,
gamepad, touchscreen…)
User Stories document
The User Stories document contain 14 User Stories, already sorted from the most valuable to the least. Theses User Stories are divided into recommended tasks, so you can evaluate the amount of job ahead.
You can change theses tasks if you think you have a different understanding of the workload.
The most valuable story isn’t necessary the longest and the least valuable isn’t necessary the shortest to do. You might choose to work on a short story, before a longer one, if it better suits your preferences or schedule.
All the Acceptance Criteria for the MVP must be met. If they are incomplete or broken, penalties will be added. Remove incomplete features.
