Follow the Leader

The Project...

The purpose of this project was to test what I had learnt in C++ and was also just for a bit of fun! I was introduced to the openFrameworks toolkit at university, and after some experimentation and research it was discovered that it is a good foundation for creating simple games.

The game I created is based off the flash game Cats. In Cats, there are a number of the animals walking back and forth across the screen. For a random period of time, one of the cats will be elected 'leader' and the user will have to click on the cats to ensure they are all copying the leader, and if they are, the users points will increase. There are only two states the cat can have; sitting or walking. My game is very similar, but instead of cats it simply has boxes going back and forth across the screen. The user has to rack up as many points as possible in a certain amount of time!
