Characters

SprayLaptopL.png Spray Play will uses XO character design (X below an O) for human players, and a laptop icon for computer players. The XO Person/Laptop are rotate-able gameplay elements. The XO character will eventually utilize the user's preferred colors from Sugar.

<lincolnquirk> bjordan, you should be able to use the sugar API directly, and there's probably a method for getting the colors
<kentquirk> bjordan: it's in /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config <cjb> bjordan: hi, you asked about the two XO colors
<cjb> bjordan: they're stored in /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config
<cjb> bjordan: you're supposed to use an activity API to get them, and the username
<cjb> bjordan: but I don't remember what API that is :)
<MurielGodoi> bjordan: I remember..... profile.get_color() :D from sugar.graphics.xocolor import XoColor profile.get_color().get_fill_color() http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surface.html Want surface_mapRGB

<MurielGodoi> to get the buddy color:
<MurielGodoi> 1) from sugar import profile
<MurielGodoi> 2) from sugar.graphics.xocolor import XoColor
<MurielGodoi> 3) profile.get_color().get_fill_color()
<MurielGodoi> 4) profile.get_color().get_stroke_color()
<MurielGodoi> 4) profile.get_nick_name()

Shootable Objects

Objects are not yet implemented, but will be regular and irregular polygons on the playing field.

Playing Field

Spray Play's playing field


The playing field is a PNG image representing a rounded-edge rectangle. It is metal-themed and has grass around the outside.

TO DO, i.e., Additions to this image that would be nice:

  • Dimensions
    • Geometry dimensions of gray field area for simulation purposes
  • Crowd
    • Bleachers in corners?
    • Heads lining the walls, leaning onto play field

Sound

With the XO laptop's built in speakers and headphone capabilities, sound is an important consideration for Spray Play.

Music

Music will be used to enhance the game's atmosphere.

Effects

Directionally-biased stereo sound files will be used to differentiate which side the sound is eminating from (the player on the XO's left side, player on the XO's right...).
