Scorched Earth video game
For our design project, we decided to replicate the video game known as “Scorched Earth: The Mother of All Games” where two tanks fire missiles at one another by adjusting angles and power while adjusting for variable wind.
The objective of Scorched Earth is to destroy the enemy tank before your tank is destroyed. Two tanks are randomly positioned on their respective sides on a randomly chosen terrain. Through a trial and error process of adjusting angles and the strength of the tank’s turret, each user can manipulate the trajectory of the bullets to eventually target the enemy tank. With three different weapons of different blast radii and three unique difficulty levels that incorporate variable wind speeds, the users can test their abilities as the most accurately firing tank. We wanted to recreate this game to allow players to relive childhood memories.
