Description: A game based off of feeding frenzy using processing

Instructions:

1. In terminal, type in "processing Main.pde" OR open file from a folder
2. Click Run (play symbol)

• Use your mouse to control the white fish. NOTE: There is acceleration!
• Eat smaller fish to grow bigger and score points.
• The bigger the fish you eat, the more points you get.
• If you are eaten by a fish larger than you, you lose a life.
• Certain events make you invulnerable, and you glow when you are.
• Lose all three lives and game over.
• Eat the powerups to gain a random booster
• When you reach a certain size, you move on to the next level.
• Eat enough fish in a short period and you go into a frenzy! You temporarily speed up and get a score bonus.

What works:

• Random fish loading onto screen
• Fish run away / chase you depending on size
• Transition animations between levels
• Display that shows what you can and cannot eat
• Frenzy bar
• Life "bar"
• New life animations
• Invulnerability : after death/new level/etc, you will be invulnerable for a limited time.
• Score and high score counts
• Start screen
• Restart level, restart game options
• Powerups!
  • The flashing dots are powerups and can always be eaten, though they are harder to catch. They give a random effect, in order of most common to least...
    1. +1 health (nothing happens if you have 3 lives)
    2. temporary invulnerability
    3. temporary speed boost
    4. score multiplier

What doesn't:

• Screen occasionally flashes when you eat something and there are too many fish on the screen
