[Team 2] Towers and Engineers Feature Ticket

[Mohamad11Dab]

Description

In this sprint, the focus is on implementing new features to make the game more dynamic and engaging. We are introducing 'Engineer Entities', which will add a new layer to the defense mechanism of the game. The engineers will actively participate in attacking the mobs after a lane is cleared of towers. Additionally, different types of towers will be introduced, each with their unique strengths and weaknesses in terms of armor and projectile effectiveness. The third feature will focus on enabling players to upgrade existing towers in different aspects such as fire rate, health, and/or the effectiveness of the tower's projectiles.

SubFeature

This feature is broken up into the following subfeatures:

Engineer Entities - 2 members

Responsible for the creation, destruction, and action mechanics (shooting at mobs) of the engineer entities. The objective is that once all engineers are dead, the game is over.

Different Types of Towers - 2 members

Involves the development of 4 distinct types of towers, each having its special strengths and weaknesses in terms of armor and projectile efficacy.

Upgrading Towers - 1 member

Responsible for implementing the upgrade functionality for towers. Players can upgrade towers in terms of health, fire rate, and/or projectile piercing.

Examples (optional)

Engineer Entities

Once all towers are removed from a lane, the engineers should automatically start attacking the mobs until they die, or the mobs are cleared. If all engineers die, the game ends.

Different Types of Towers

Players can select between four types of towers to place on the map. Each will have unique animations and specific strengths and weaknesses.

Upgrade Towers

Players can select an existing tower and choose to upgrade it by spending in-game currency. Upgrade options can be armor, health, or effectiveness of its projectiles.

Dependencies

-Engineer Entities team will need to coordinate with the Mobs team for implementing the shooting and game-over mechanics (#xx).
-Different Types of Towers will have dependencies with the Interface and Map teams for placement and grid interactions (#84).
