SSB Algorithm

SSB Algorithm

1. Algorithm constructs

   • Has to be in a logical order, not some random order
   • Pseudocode has to have the main words in capital letters and in bold.
   • There is no right way to any pseudocode, but multiple ways to do the same algorithm.

2. Pseudocode

   • It is not actually a type of code that a computer uses but a way for humans to understand the process like an algorithm
     • It uses statements like IF and ELSE and WHILE and ENDWHILE and many more.
   • It has 4 different sections, the sequence, assignment, selection and conditioning, and iteration
     • Sequence is making sure the code is in correct order
     • Assignment is storing a value in a variable.
     • Selection and Conditioning is when Selection is the process in which it should take next, while conditioning is to determine what to do next.
     • Iteration is the process of repetition and how long it should repeat for.
   • Pseudocode only uses English but all the steps are typically concise with simple (not too complex steps)

3. Nintendo Switch

   • Uses separate controllers called ‘Joy cons’
   • It is a portable game console
   • The previous version of the Nintendo was the Wii U
   • Nintendo was made by a Japanese person called Yamauchi Nintendo
   • Launched in 2017
   • The game cartridges taste bitter
     • Babies when trying to eat it will immediately spit it out

4. Super smash bros game

   • It is a Nintendo published multiplayer game. You can play with friends, family or anyone, and there are multiple characters to choose from, whom which have different abilities and powers to fight with.
   • I selected this game because it is a multiplayer game which can be played with anybody, it is quite an interesting and fun to play game.
   • Super smash bros was originally published in 1999

5. Chosen character

   • Bowser
     • My chosen one
     • Bowser was originally seen in the 1985 super mario bros game as the antagonist
     • Bowser is mainly an offensive character
     • Bowser has a multiple move sets like the fire breath, fly slam, whirling fortress, bowser bomb and as the final smash, the giga bowser punch
   • Little Mac
     • Little mac was first seen in Mike tyson’s Punch Out!!! as the protagonist
     • Little Mac is an unlockable character
       • Can’t be my character
     • Little Mac’s moveset includes the straight lunge, jolt haymaker, rising uppercut, slip counter, and for the Final Smash, the Giga Mac Rush
   • Donkey Kong
     • Donkey Kong was first seen in the 1981 arcade game
     • DK’s move set includes a giant punch, a headbutt, spinning Kong, Hand slap and for the final smash, the Jungle rush. These are all attackive moves

6. Prescribed Criteria

   • Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
     • I have to use pseudocode conventions like terminators, selection and conditioning, iterations, keywords.
   • o Develop an ultimate high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate the opponent
     • Use only damaging offensive moves.
   • o Use at least five different attack moves (Side Special Move, Final Smash, Down Special Move, etc)
     • I have to use all the special moves.
       • These moves for bowser are the fire breath, flying slam, bowser bomb, whirling fortress and giga bowser punch.
