CIS 487/587 Assignment 6

Fall 2023

This assignment will give you the opportunity to experience the entire process implementing your 3D computer game from your design document. You may create any type of game you wish and implement it using the Unity Game Engine. Your game will need to be available for peer review by Tuesday, December 12th at midnight to allow peer reviews to be completed by midnight on Wednesday, December 13th.

You will be expected to turn in a game design document modeled after the Tricks template

and this level design template

http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~bmaxim/cis487/LevelDesignTemplate.doc

You will also be expected to upload a zip to Canvas containing your complete Unity program executable, revised design document, and all assets required to run your game. If you use code written by someone else in your program, you will need to attribute the source. Each team is to submit a set of timecards quantifying the effort of each team member using this spreadsheet:
