Super Smash Bros

1. Prescribed Criteria

   • 1. Develop an Algorithm using Pseudocode conventions
     • Develop an algorithm for one of the Nintendo games – Super Smash Bros
     • Pseudocode conventions must be used in algorithm. All keywords must be in BOLD and CAPITAL. Also must be indented like START & END. These two keyword must be at the beginning at end of the algorithm.
     • Keywords for pseudocode include, IF, ELSE, IS EQUAL TO, WHILE etc.
   • 2. Super Smash Bros
     • o Develop an ultimate high damage finishing offensive strategy to eliminate the opponent
     • o Use at least five different attack moves (Side Special Move, Final Smash, Down Special Move, etc)
     • 3. Use five (5) conditions (IF, ELSEIF, ELSE) in your pseudocode
       • The pseudocode must include 5 unique moves to damage opponent using IF, ELSEIF, and ELSE
       • Examples of offensive moves Neutral Attack (Jab Combo): Deals 7.9% • Forward Smash (Fire Palm): can 20% when fully charged. • Up Smash (Headbutt): Deals 14% damage
     • For Super Smash Bros develop a high damage strategy
     • Strategy must be offensive, zero defence moves
     • Moves must full eliminate opponent

2. Algorithm Constructs

   • Sequence
     • Sequence is a piece of coding where instructions are done by the computer one at a time. The code runs in a practical order top to bottom.
       • START SET STANDARD SPECIAL MOVE DAMAGE TO 80 END
   • Assignment
     • Assignment means initializing a variable and storing a specific data value inside its bank. This ensures the algorithm to save or update its information.
       • START EXECUTE FIREBALL EXECUTE SuperJumpPunch END
   • Selection
     • Selection is a piece of coding that tells the program which path to choose based on the Condition.
       • START IF OpponentIsFar EQUAL TO TRUE THEN EXECUTE FIREBALL ELSE EXECUTE UP SuperJumpPunch ENDIF END
   • Condition
     • Condition is a statement or question that a program uses to see if it is true or false. The program then uses the evaluation to work out the next step in the algorithm.
       • OpponentDamage IS GREATER THAN 80
   • Iteration
     • Iteration is utilised when something is repeated over and over, so the program runs the same thing every time
       • START WHILE OpponentDamage IS LESS THAN 80 EXECUTE FIREBALL SET OpponentDamage IS HIGHER THAN 80 ENDWHILE END

3. Chosen Character Moves

   • Mario
     • UP SMASH
       • A super-fast up facing move that takes opponents to the top of the arena.
     • DOWN SMASH
       • A fast sweep kick that traps opponents and knocks them away.
     • FORWARD AERIAL
       • A mid-air punch that takes opponents downward.
     • MARIO TORNADO
       • A spinning attack that traps opponents to build higher damage.
     • Forward Smash
       • A heavy fire punch that deals high damage and forces opponents to fall of the stage.

4. Character Choices

   • Mario
     • Pros
       • He has excellent air and ground speed.

   • Luigi
     • Pros
