Hype for beta version of the app

Hello Everyone! We are closing in to the due date for the beta version of the app. The last hurdle of the app is the shop features and design. One of our member, Evan finished creating the images for the power-ups features and a brand new image design for the shop. Here's what it looks like:

If you read our blog from a week ago, we have placed temporary pictures for the power-ups. Now the shop is finally finalized and descriptions (unique and funny) are added next to the power-up icons so that the player would know what they are buying. When the player clicks on the power-up icon, a confirmation pops up asking if he or she really want to buy the power-up feature. Here's what the newly designed shop looks like:

And the confirmation pop-up:

As you may noticed, we also changed the background color to pale green. We have implemented all the power-up functions so when the player purchases the stun tiger power up, the tiger will stops moving. Likewise for all the other power-ups. Probably after cleaning up the codes a bit and a few more touches on the app tonight and tomorrow, we are going to be ready to present our beta version of the Tiger Trap game.

The presentation of the beta version of our app will be on February 14 Tuesday from 3 to 5pm in Olin 202. Everybody is welcome to attend our presentation.

We implemented Shop function!

For week 9, we made a lot of progress. 

Last week, we created the player inventory class and shop class, and this week we actually made them work in games.

After each level of game or during pause, players can choose to spend currency to buy power up items to make the game easier. For example, if they do not have much time left and really want to win the game, they can purchase the power to stun the tiger. Also if they just want to become rich, they can buy the double currency power. 

I believe the game is more fun and playable after those power up implemented. Moreover, everyone is contributing very hard on the game. I feel lucky to have you guys as teammates :D

Here is how the shop look like: later Evan will change the shop icon so it will look better. Change some icons and make some adjustments to the interface.

Good job everyone!
