Super Smash Bros. Algorithim

Super Smash Bros. Algorithim

1. Prescribed Criteria

   • 1. Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
     • Develop an algorithm for one of the games – Super Smash Bros.
     • Pseudocode Conventions must be used in the algorithm. Such as all key words must be written in bold and capital, use indication when a code belongs to a particular block of code, START or END should be at the should be at the beginning and end of the algorithm
     • Example keywords for pseudocode-IF/IF ELSE, IS EQUAL TO, START, END, THEN, WHILE
   • 2. Super Smash Bros
     • Develop an ultimate high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate the opponent
       • Create a high damaging strategy
       • The strategy should be offensive which means that we do not need to create defensive moves
       • The moves should be ultimately eliminate the opponent
     • Use five (5) conditions (IF/IF ELSE, ELSE)
       • The pseudocode must include 5 unique moves to damage the opponent using IF, ELIF and ELSE
       • Example offensive moves: Back throw - 9% damage Forward Tilt – 10% damage Forward Smash – 20% dmg Volt Tackle – 12% damage Skull Bash – 21.4% dmg

2. Algorithmic Constructs

   • Sequence
     • A set of instructions, in the order of when to do it
       • START. INPUT: Click on character choice OUTPUT: Let’s Brawl!
         • Example
       • Defenition
   • Assignment
     • "Assigning" a value to a variable
       • DECLARE: “CharacterName” SET “CharactetName” to Ryu OUTPUT “Let’s go, Ryu!”
   • Selection
     • A selection statement that guides the program on what to do next
       • INPUT fight results IF Ryu won THEN OUTPUT MESSAGE: “Ryu is the winner”
   • Condition
     • A sort of question that aids with the selection part of an Algorithmic Construct
       • In Selection: IF Ryu won THEN
   • Iteration
     • When something is repeated over and over again. Repetition is also used for this definition. Words to direct the loop are: WHILE, FOR, and REPEAT. For example, FOR is used when knowing to amount of time the function is repeated.
       • START FOR 7 steps INPUT Jump up and forward ENDFOR END

3. Chosen Character Name

   • Ryu (Street Fighter)

4. Chosen Character moves (RYU)

   • FIreball (Ranged attack)
   • Focus attack (Can break shields)

5. Hardware

   • Screen
     • The screen, in this case, is a TV. The base screen is the Nintendo Switch Console
   • Joy-Con (Mini Controller)
     • The Joy Cons are a pair of controllers that still work when detached from the base console, using BlueTooth and WiFi. They can be separated and be used as their own controller
   • Nintendo Switch (Only Console)
     • This is the base module of the Nintendo Switch, with a pre-built screen for handheld mode. When put in the dock, the Nintendo Switch will emit signals to the TV, and display the screen there
   • Game Card (SSB or MarioKart 8 dlx)
     • A game card is a mini-cartridge that, when put into a Nintendo Switch, will download a software for the cartridge you plugged in (E.G. Super Smash Bros. card will download Super Smash Bros.

6. Super Smash Bros. Game
