Irritating Crusader ("The game") is a two-player, top-down, shooter game where the player "disrupt" the opponent by shooting the "effect bullets", eventually causing the other player to "confuse" and get killed by the "traps".
This report describe the game's gameplay for the players ("Game Manual") and also the game's technical overview for developers ("Technical Description").
Irritating Crusader is a simple game where there's only one goal, To kill all other player.
The best way to get introduced to this game is to actually start playing it. Invite your friend (or find one) and follows Quick Start guide.
If you played it and somehow got confused, We also provides documentations on bullets, control, etc. below.

Have one player be the host and

The game's engine is designed to be a general purpose, multiplayer shooter engine.
The game engine is divided into serveral components and implemented using external
libraries whenever possible.
The following section describes its components and its implementation detail.
The most complex functionality in the game's engine is the multiplayer client-server functionality. so the source code's structure is built around it.
The game consist of two major component. The server and the client.
package: com.progmethgame.server
The server is a component that processes the player's input and simulate the game's law including
- Physic law
- Entity interaction rules
- Entity status reporting.
The server then send the resulting calculation (graphic, sound) through the network
package: com.progmethgame.network
The networking is a component that tranparently provides the client-server communication.
It provides
- Transparent networking system
- Interface for event source and sink.
- Data serialization
The networking component then transfer server's data to the client
package: com.progmethgame.client
The client is a component that
- Render graphic.
- Play the sound and music
- Send user's keyboard input.
The server and the client are both initialized by the launcher
package: com.progmethgame.launcher
The launcher is a component that provides GUI for creation and disposal of the client and the server.
The game engine is implemented using various library.
LibGDX provides graphic, sound and controller library. We choose this over JavaFX because it
- Provides GL acceleration
- Have many useful utils (eg. Vector arithmetic, Asset management, TMX Map loading)
- Comes with boiler plate (eg. Game-loop, Screen management)
KryoNet provides object serialization and networking system.
Every classes are documented using javadoc. please open javadoc/index.html with your browser or if you prefer PDF files
