Game Overview

• For our game we are going to create a dunk
  contest. The premise is that you are an aspiring
  young kid who dreams of making it top the NBA all
  star basketball Weekend Dunk Contest. But first,
  you have to build you way up. Youll start off at
  your local playground and work your way up to the
  big time. The object will be to pull of more and
  more impressive dunks as your career
  progressesAlthough the tipgame engine isnt
  designed for rapid user interaction, we will
  attempt to make the game effective through the
  use of an animation canvas and perhaps systematic
  pauses.

Collisions

• Collisions in our basketball game are mainly
  concerning the collision with the ball and goal.
  If the ball successfully hits within a square
  area of the goal, it will be read as a successful
  dunk. If the ball hits the rim or misses the
  area, it will be registered as a missed dunk.

• When the player clicks, we will have to determine
  what section of the jump or finish bar that the
  ball icon is colliding with.

10
Scoring

• Scoring The longer the dunk combo, and the
  closer to the sweet spot the player dunks, the
  higher their score will be.
  
• Different combinations of buttons also yields
  more points.

11
Levels

• When you first start the game, you will start at
  the playground level.
  
• As you progress in the game, you will move to the
  high school course, And1 Tournament, and finally
  NBA All-Start weekend

• Game Introduction
• As you progress to each new level, each
  progression will be accompanied with a new splash
  screen.

Ending Harr!!

• The game will end (hopefully) with you winning
  the Dunk Contest Trophy. If you lose one dunk
  contest, you go back down a level. If you lose at
  the playground, you go home (Game Over).

Basic Game

• Each dunk will have 3 distinct parts. The first
  will be the jump power meter there will be a bar
  that has a miniature basketball oscillating back
  and forth in it. The meter be made of different
  numbered, colored sections that get progressively
  smaller. The player will want to click when the
  ball is at the furthest right section, as this
  will result in the most jump power. Then, based
  on the number they landed on in the jump meter,
  the player will input directions (up, down, left,
  or right) in order to create a dunk. Different
  combinations make different types of dunks, and
  the longer the combo the better the dunk. Lastly,
  there will be another meter with another
  oscillating ball, but on it is a sweet spot
  that the player will have to stop the ball in.
  The closes to they sweet spot they are, the
  strong the dunk finishes. The more complex the
  dunk and the closer to the sweet spot you finish
  will determine your score (out of 10, goes by
  increments of 0.5)
