Ants vs. Some Bees

This is one of the projects assigned to students in cs61a of UC Berkeley. This project is fairly simple but is really fun to do, for source files check out: https://github.com/n0rea5on/CS61A-2020-Fall-Metarials-Mirror.

1.

Note that you can only access the game via terminal with the following command.

python gui.py [-h] [-d DIFFICULTY] [-w] [--food FOOD]

Optional argument:

[-h], [--help]: Display some default help message

[-d DIFFICULTY]: Sets difficulty of game (test/easy/medium/hard/extra-hard)

[-w], [--water]: Loads a full layout with water

[--food FOOD]: Number of food to start with when testing

There are all sorts of ants you can use to defend against the bees. And I'm going to give a brief introduction on each of theirs functions.

• The Harvest Ants

  

  Cost	Armor
  2	1

  Acuires one food per round. Deals absolutely zero damage.

• The Thrower Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  3	1	1

  Attacks the first bee in front of it in its line.

• The Short Thrower Ant (What a absolutely abomination of a name.)

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  2	1	1

  Attacks the first bee no farther than three blocks in front of it.

• The Long Thrower Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  2	1	1

  Attacks the first bee no nearer than five blocks in front of it.

• The Fire Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  5	3	Depends

  Reflects the damage it recieves to ALL of the bees in its 'Space'. Deals an additional 3 damage when it is destroyed.

• The Hungry Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  4	1	Infinity

  Eats the bee in its place, and then spend three rounds chewing.

• The Wall Ant

  

  Cost	Armor
  4	4

  Blocks the bees.

• The Scuba Thrower Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  6	1	1

  A special kind of Thrower Ant that can live in water(and also on land).

• The Queen Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  7	1	1

  This one is fairly complicated.

  Firstly, there can be at most one Queen ant. Any other queen ant will die immediately.

  Secondly, once the one real queen ant dies, the you lose the game.

  Thirdly, the queen ant can double the damage of all the ants behind it.

  Lastly, the queen ant can live on both land and water.

• The Ninja Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  5	--	1

  The Ninja Ant doesn't block the bees' path, but damages them as they pass by.

• The Bodyguard Ant

  

  Cost	Armor
  4	2

  The Bodyguard Ant is a type of Container Ant, which means it can be put in a 'place' that an ant already occpies.

• The Tank Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  6	2	1

  Also a type of Container Ant. Attacks ALL the bees in its place and deals 1 damage.

• The Laser Ant

  

  Cost	Armor	Damage
  10	1	Complicated

  This is a very special weapon, use it wisely.

  Its original damage is 2. But the damage decreases by distance at the rate of 0.25 per block. And each time the laser hits an insect, the damage decreases by 0.0625 permanantly.

  What's more, the laser can attack all the insects(bees and ants) in front of the laser ant.

There are also some special bees in the game, but they basically look the same, so there's no use describing them.

Good Luck!
