Factory Crane Game

GitHub: https://github.com/JosephBabel/Factory-Crane-Game itch.io: https://josephbabel.itch.io/factory-crane-game For my final submission of this pathway I wanted to go beyond the requirement and create something that would look good for my portfolio. Here is where you can find my implementation of the four pillars of object-oriented programming: GameManager.cs - Encapsulation with private setters for properties that influence difficulty. Also abstraction with methods such as PauseGame() and EndGame() can be found here. Item.cs and ItemFragile.cs - Inheritance with ItemFragile inheriting from Item, and polymorphism with an OnDrop() method that is overridden for ItemFragile. Base items will lose value when dropped, while fragile items will break when dropped.

Chicken Loop

I came to this part of course in Thursday and decided to participate in a game jam on upcoming weekend. So this project I made both for game jam and to submit it here. It was made for two days so code is not perfect but I think I have accomplished all requirements for this course task. I have Polymorphism, Inheritance, Encapsulation and Abstraction. I have marked this places in code with according comments. Source files can found here: https://github.com/MarkianovNikita/MiniJam92 And the playable build you can download from here: https://overlordnikita.itch.io/chicken-loop Here I describe some part of the code in Google document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h2AKl7lyNb0ecFQAEdgcxbqec4HgbxLJwiJQCmghtes/edit?usp=sharing
