Part 1) The main play engine in Pseudocode.

My Little Pony learning game in VB.NET Here is what we will create first, the main play engine in pseudo code:

• a) pony can move around animated on the screen. (walking using arrow keys on the keyboard)
  • but not off the left or right edge.
  • and every move animates the clouds to move as well.
  • if clouds fall off the edge of the screens then realign them accordingly.
• b) pony can jump. (can jump and move at the same time)
  • jumping and moving at the same time allow the pony to move faster than walking.
  • pony cannot jump off the screen
• c) pony can fly around (can fly around the screen in flite mode or follow the mouse for autopilot)
  • F to toggle flight mode on or off.
  • M to toggle autopilot mode once in flight mode to follow the mouse and rainbow spinner
• c) pony can fire a magic fireball.
  • pony can only fire 1 magic fireball at a time
  • fireball can be used to collect coins if you fire at a coin
• d) background music (my little pony theme song) and SFX sounds for the jump, coin collection flying etc…
  • ability to change background music volume
  • ability to mute SFX sounds. (jump, coin collect, flying, etc…)
• e) ability to collect coins.
  • coins randomly appear on screen if it’s not on screen already.
  • coins will be awarded for simply entering a game mode for participation.
• f) Learning Modules
  • A user selects from many interactive GUIs (based on academic level)
  • The user plays selected topic game
  • The user watches selected topic video
