More Game Over Options? Specifically "Player X Wins!"

Open kiki-lee opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

At the moment, we only have 2 game over options:

  1. Game Over Loss Screenshot by Dropbox Capture

  2. Game Over Win Screenshot by Dropbox Capture

These leave out some common game options:

A) Game Over Notification - Neither a loss, nor a win…just a notification that the game has finished and you have the score you have (Useful for clicker games or games where the goal is to see how many points you get before you die)

B) Game Over Time Elapsed - Neither a loss, nor a win, but you managed to stay alive for X amount of time (high) or you completed in a record of X time (low)

C) Game Over Player X Wins - Win state, but not showcasing the "score" variable. Instead, showcasing the largest of the player scores and declaring that player a winner

Current State

As near as I can figure, none of these are possible given what we have now unless we want to do some logic checking on game update and quickly swap time/player scores to the score variable before throwing the game over screen?

First Step

We'll use the heck out of these for carnival games, so if they can't go in the Games category right away, I'm fine adding them to the Carnival extension for Hour of Code.
