Alien Aerobics

Even aliens need a little exercise! Inspect the code real carefully on this one! There are a couple advanced math kinds of things going on involving trig functions. Although you will not be required to use trig functions in your project, you should at least be aware of how they are used in this sample project.

ASSIGNMENT:

Make a sprite that dances! Restrictions, guidelines, and requirements:

  • Your sprite will actually be composed of at least six sprites as follows: right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, body, head.
  • Choreography - Develop a little dance routine for your sprite. You should create at least four distinct moves for your sprite.
  • Although the term choreography typically is applied to dance moves, it can also apply to a sequence of movements in a fight scene. So instead of thinking of this as a dance routine, you could think of it as a martial arts sequence, if that makes you feel better.
  • Your arms and legs must bend at some point in your routine. This can be achieved by separting arms and legs into pairs of sprites or by simply switching costumes from a bent to a straight form. Either approach is fine.
