Dr. X intends to use the virus to take over the world by causing all of the world's computers to crash, thereby destroying all financial, governmental, and personal records. You must help Scott save the world by defeating Dr. X's henchmen, retrieving the virus, and saving his wife.1.3 Game Play and AppearanceScottFu is a traditional "side-scroller" fighting style game. It resembles such classics as Kung Fu (Nintendo), Ninja-Gaiden (Super Nintendo), Streets of Rage (Sega), as well as many other classic video games.[Kung Fu for NES]Your role is to walk the hero through the city, encountering enemies along the way. You must fight the enemies by kicking, punching, and maneuvering. Eventually, with some luck and skill, you will destroy all of the bad guys trying to thwart your advances. You will eventually locate your wife, the disk, and the infamous Dr. X. You must defeat Dr. X to claim victory and live happily ever after.1.4 Development SpecificationBasic keyboard movement:Left key - move hero to the leftRight key - move her to the rightCtrl - punchShift - kickHealth:All characters hold their health in alterable value AHero: A=8Thug: A=3Boss: A=10Upon picking up a health pack,Hero gains 1 health pointUpon health of hero reaching 0 or less, Hero will die; game restarts (defeat)Upon health of thug reaching 0 or less,Thug will collapse for increasing periods of timeCollapse 1 = 300Collapse 2 = 300 + 200Collapse 3 = 300 + 200 + 200 …Upon health of boss reaching 0 or less,Boss will collapse; game restarts (victory)Damage:HeroPunch: 1 hit pointKick: 2 hit pointsThugPunch: 1 hit pointKick: 2 hit pointsBossPunch: 2 hit pointsInflicting Damage:Be performing a punch or kick animationThe animation must be in the correct frameThe attacker must be facing the defenderThe attacker must be overlapping the defenderThe defender must not be falling down, getting hit, or in the process of standing upSound and Graphics:Suitable action music should be played in the backgroundPropeller Heads – Spybreak!

Scott developed the game as well as all of the artwork and animations. Scott's wife Malgosia helped with photographing the animation sequences and play testing.The following actors were used in producing the game (with my many thanks!):Scott Scott StellaThug Brian StellaDr. X Jim HappellMalgosia Malgosia Stella2.2 Production ToolsThe following tools were used extensively to develop ScottFu:The Games Factory (TGF) by ClickTeam: A visual game engine and IDE that can be used to create games of almost any type or genre (side scrollers, racing games, shooting games, RTS games, etc). TGF focuses on defining various object types, and then the events/interactions between those object types. TGF takes a very different approach to coding style: instead of writing hundreds of lines of code, the developer essentially fills out what amounts to be a glorified spreadsheet. Across the top row are all of the game objects. Running down the first column are the events and triggers. The major advantage to The Games Factory is that it handles many of the common functions needed to create most games suchas animation, sprite movement, and collision detection. It allows developers to focus on game content, and not the tedious task of implementing all the low-level functions required to play the game. Another advantage is that gamescreated by TGF can be embedded as executables in web pages. Therefore, anyone visiting your web page can play your game in their web browser. Of course, games can also be saved as straight exe's as well.Paint Shop Pro 5 by JASC: A
