Dorothy’s Day Out: The Game (C++ and DirectX 10)
Thought I would share with you my final year project at the University of Plymouth.
In Dorothy’s Day Out a player controls Dorothy, an elderly granny who decides to take her rage out on the rest of the world after being tormented by her local neighbours for over twenty years.
As Dorothy, you must battle through various neighbourhoods to reach the local post office in order to collect the weekly pension – the quicker the destination is reached, the higher the score. However, in the process a number of angry neighbours will be trying to stop Dorothy by using their walking sticks, mobility scooters or by throwing objects into the road.
The player controls Dorothy’s mobility scooter from a third-person perspective, with the camera floating in the air just behind the scooter. As the player drives down the street, objects such as the houses and cars start to appear, and objects passed subsequently disappear.
