Super Smash Bros Algorithm

Super Smash Bros Algorithm

1. Prescribed Criteria

   • 1. Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
   • 2. Super Smash Bros
     • Develop an ultimate high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate the opponent
     • Use at least five different attack moves (Side Special Move, Final Smash, Down Special Move, etc)

2. Algorithm Construct

   • Sequence
     • a set of instructions designed in a particular way to ensure related things follow each other one step at a time.
       • E.G 1. DEMOLISH EFFECT 2. SKYSCRAPER SMASH 3. KICK FrENZY
   • Assignment
     • In this context an assignment refers to saving a specific value into a variable. This variable consists of something like a name or label that stores information.
       • An example of an assignment is favouriteSport = “Basketball”. In this specific example, favouriteSport is a constituent of the algorithm that stores the value “Basketball”.
   • Selection
     • A selection is another constituent of the pseudocode algorithm which helps a program choose what to complete next based on a condition. This enables the program to determine which instructions should be completed next.
       • A sophisticated example of a selection is an IF statement. If Kirby beats Pikachu, then display "Kirby Wins" otherwise, display "Pikachu Wins".
   • Condition
     • A condition is a true or false question that determines whether an action should be performed.
       • If the selection statement was IF Kirby beats Pikachu, then display “Kirby Wins!” otherwise display “Pikachu Wins”. The condition is whether Kirby beats Pikachu.
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is an algorithm construct that repeats a set of instructions (Sequence) until a condition is met.
       • An example is if an attack move is is repeated continuously while Pikachu is not defeated. Once Pikachu is defeated the Iteration stops.

3. Chosen Character Moves Kirby

   • Move 1
   • Move 2
   • Move 3
   • Move 4
   • Move 5

4. Game Options

   • Super Smash Bros
     • History
       • Super Smash Bros. began in 1999 as a secret Nintendo 64 prototype created by Masahiro Sakurai. It evolved from a simple crossover into a massive five-game franchise, culminating in 2018's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
     • Gameplay
       • Instead of using traditional health bars, players fight to knock opponents off the stage. Characters fly farther as their damage percentages increase, blending competitive fighting with chaotic platforming elements.
   • Mario Kart
     • History
       • Super Mario Kart debuted in 1992 on the SNES, pioneering the mascot kart-racing genre. The series evolved across every Nintendo console, introducing 3D tracks, bikes, and anti-gravity, culminating in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the best-selling racing game of all time.
     • Gameplay
       • Gameplay focuses on fast-paced racing where players use randomised items like Blue Shells and Mushrooms to disrupt opponents or gain speed. Driving mechanics rely heavily on drifting and mini-turbos to maintain momentum across obstacle-filled tracks.

5. HardWare

   • screen
     • Casual TV used for entertainment purposes and in this context Super Smash Bros.
   • Joy Con (Mini Controller)
     • The primary controllers for the Nintendo Switch Family. They attach to the console sides, work wirelessly, support motion controls, HD rumble, and can be used individually or as a pair for multiplayer.
   • Nintendo Switch (Only Console)
     • The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid gaming system that functions as both a handheld device and a home console permitting playable games on the TV, and on the go.
   • Game Card SSB

6. Character Choices

   • Kirby
     • Pros
       • Excellent combo game with fast frame data and multi-hit aerials.
     • Cons
       • Abysmal air speed makes it incredibly difficult to approach or chase opponents.
   • Bowser
     • Pros
       • Massive power and high survivability.
     • Cons
       • • Huge hurtbox and poor disadvantage.
