To get across the arena in the shortest time possible, your player will need to jump
onto a moving platform over a river, get under a wall that moves up and down, and
avoid holes that randomly appear in the arena floor (see Figure 9-1).

Create the Crafty Crossing game.
There is a video of the complete Crafty Crossing game on the companion website
Creating a game is a major mission. You will need to build, test and finally put together
a lot of components before your challenging game is ready to go. To make this project
easier to follow, I have broken down the instructions into four parts, so you can develop
and test the program in sections:
•
Part 1: Create the main structure and framework of the program and building
the game arena where all the action will take place.
•
Part 2: Program the obstacles that will get in the player's way and try to slow him
down.
•
Part 3: Introduce the 'game play' to the program, creating levels of difficulty,
scoring and, of course, the inevitable “Game Over”.
