Special Attack

I built the special attack. It consists in the character jumping backwards and throwing a fireball to the enemy. Special attack is activated by using a combo of inputs.

• Player 1:
• PC: C + D + (D + S) + S
• Xbox controller: X + Joystick Right + (Joystick Right + Joystick Down) + Joystick Down
• Player 2:
• PC: H + Right Arrow + (Right Arrow + Down Arrow) + Down Arrow
• Xbox controller: X + Joystick Right + (Joystick Right + Joystick Down) + Joystick Down

I coded the input system that detects if the combo of inputs has been made in the correct order to activate the special attack.

State Machine

I built a part of the state machine that controls the states and animations of the 2 characters.
A state machine is the core of a fighting game, as it ensures that the characters move as they are expected.

• Movement (5)
• Idle
• Walk
• Jump
• Crouch
• Dash
• Attacks (11)
• Kick, jump kick, crouch kick, heavy kick & jump heavy kick
• Punch, jump punch, crouch punch, heavy punch & jump heavy punch
• Special Attack
• Others (2)
• Get hit (Receive Damage)
• En Garde (Initial Cinematic)

A state machine is vital in that kind of game as it allows the characters to perform actions in the best way possible.
