Create methods which make it easier to generate levels and enemies

[erodriguez4620]

• Currently as is, there is a single source file which acts as the class which represents the first level. Everything in there is hard coded (the enemies, the graphics, etc.). If methods that would assist in the generation of levels were introduced, it would make it a lot easier for beginners to create their own levels and enemies.
• Ways to do this:
  • Introduce methods that can create levels. The method can take enemies, the main character, and images as arguments and build the level based on the information it was given.
  • Introduce methods that allow you to introduce new enemies (currently as is, the program will only allow you to choose from 3 hardcoded enemies). The method can take an image, damage, health, and other information to create an enemy and display them
  • The main thing that needs to be changed is to move away from having the hard-coded class file for the first level and instead make it dynamic.

I like this one, but add to it to make it even more dynamic, such that maybe you start setting up the framework so that someone else could come in and modify the enemy or level without having to edit the code. Add that in and you are good to go!

Do you mean creating a UI that allows the user to create enemies and levels? So that someone without any coding experience can create something?

no it doesn't have to be a UI, it can be simple text files that you have that would allow them to change something about the level without having to change it via the code
