My task is to create a simple incremental game. It will take the form of one
large button – each click of this button will award the player with a point. My game
should show me how many points the player has earned this way.
I will also need to provide a ‘shop’ from which players can buy upgrades. These will
increase the number of points gained by clicks, or give some ‘passive’ point generation.
Each time an upgrade is purchased, the cost goes up. The two types of upgrade I must
provide are:
1. Click Enhancement, which increases the number of points gained per click by one
for each time the upgrade has been purchased.
2. Passive Click Generation, which generates X point(s) per Y second(s), every time
the upgrade has been purchased.
When the player has gained 20 points, they can buy a Super Click upgrade, which will
then give them two points every time the button is clicked. The next Super Click upgrade
will cost 22 points, and give them 3 points per click.
Upon getting 100 points, they can buy a click factory which gives them one point every ten
seconds. The second click factory will cost them 150 points. The third will cost them 225
points (1.5 x 150).
Your program will need to perform the following
operations:
• Set up the GUI;
• Set up a program loop to handle each of the passive click upgrades;
• Create a ‘shop’ interface that allows for upgrades to be purchased;
• Handle game state for the number of points a player has gained, and how many of
each upgrade they have purchased;
• Provide a shop through which power-ups can be purchased;
• Correctly calculate number of points gained based on all existing purchased
upgrades;
• Correctly calculate the cost of upgrades based on base cost and cost increment.
