The player can move his cursor thanks to the arrows buttons. Information about the cell the cursor is on is provided in the bottom left corner. When the cursor is on an ally unit (colored in blue) the player can press ENTER to select the unit. A white area then appears on the screen which symbolises the range within which the unit can be moved. To chose where to move the unit, the player can move his cursor to the position within the range and then press ENTER, which initiates the move. A panel is then displayed in the top right corner where the available actions offered by the selected unit are displayed. The player can then press either A or W:

• By pressing the A button on the keyboard the player can make his selected unit attacks enemies. If the player wishes his unit to do another action instead, he can press tab. If he stills decide to attack, if no enemies are in an attackable range, the player can choose an action again. Else, a pointer is displayed next to the enemy unit to attack and the player can choose which enemy to attack with the arrows buttons. When the pointer is next to the enemy the player wants to attack, the ENTER button will trigger the attack. If the attacked enemy is dead, he disappears from the map. After the attack, the player can continue playing with other units.
• By pressing the W button, the selected unit does nothing and the player can continue playing with other units.

Units can only do one action per turn and units that were already used are transparent and can't be selected. If the player wants to stop his turn, he can press TAB and the opponent starts playing.

-the N button allows the player to change levels. If the player is in the last level and presses N, the game stops. -the R button allows the player to restart the game at the first level. -when the player moves a unit on a city, a new action is offered by the unit. The player can press and the selected unit takes the city, which becomes an ally. (Units that have taken a city during a turn receive HP at the end of the turn).

If the area appears with a dark filter, it is the night and the unit's range is reduced.

This is where we should plan:

• What to do;
• How to do it;
• Who should do what;
• etc...

Things we need to sort out:

• Game design
• Overall architecture
• JavaDoc comments
• This file documentation (this will probably move to CONCEPTION.md)

I can make diagrams and then export to .html or .pdf for the final hand in.

Date: ==Thursday 23 December at 09:00==

Hand in Format:

• Source code will be an archive (.zip)
• A README.md explaining how to use the program including:
  • How to start it;
  • The controls and what they do;
  • Any other game rules / objectives;
• A CONCEPTION.md file explaining the overarching design decisions such as:
  • Architectural changes (with justification);
  • Any added classes / interfaces and how they fit into the architecture;
  • What functionality each component adds (for any behavior divergent from the instructions and any added functionality)

They should be written succinctly and informally. In .md, .txt, or .pdf preferably.

Add JavaDoc comments for all the functions, similar to the given examples.

For any fundamental changes (i.e. to the graphical interface) you should ask for their opinion by sending an email to cs107.

You can add additional images that are copyright free (and reference their source in the README.md). They have to be small because the hand in size is limited. Any extension that makes the files too big email cs107.

Steps:

1. Basic components:
   • Have a player controlled cursor capable of moving and changing level;
   • Have units that can be used by the player.
2. Unit interactions:
   • Allow the cursor to have basic interaction with the units to move them.
3. Actions and AI:
   • Make the units have actions;
   • Have a basic "AI" that can act as an opponent;
   • Add a UI to display static information.
4. Extensions:
   • Add additional features and functionality.
