2. ABOUT THE GAME

3. Game Objective • The goal of each player in the game is to discard all cards in his hand before every other player does, and try not to get hold of the “Monkey Card”

4. Game Play • Each turn, a player is to get one card from the next player and discard paired* cards in his hand. • Each turn, the non-AI player is allowed to use his cheats in his Cheat Phase. *Paired Cards: cards with the same rank, regardless of suit.

5. Game Phases • Each turn consists of four (4) phases, namely; • Discard Phase 1 • In this phase, a player could discard a paired card from his hand. • Cheat Phase • In this phase, the non-AI player could use his cheats to have advantage over AI players • Main Phase • In this phase, a player must take a card from the next player • Discard Phase 2 • Refer to Discard Phase 1.

6. ABOUT THE CLASSES

7. Classes • Card • This class is the “Card” of the game. Each card object has different properties with other objects. • Cards are implemented as a linear linked list. • Significant Attributes: • String rank – the rank of the card (king, ace, two…) • String suit – the suit of the card(hearts, spades…) • String name – the name of the card (<rank> of <suit>) • Card nextCard – reference to the next card on the list

8. Classes • Deck • This class contains all the information and methods used to manipulate the deck of the game • Acts as the “holder” of the cards. • Significant Attributes: • Card theCard – reference to the head card of the card list • Card monkeyCard – contains the monkey card of the game • IntdeckCardCount – counter for the number of cards in the deck (linked list of cards)

9. Classes • Hand • The player’s hand contains all the cards that he owns. And this class represents the player’s hand. • Similar to the class Deck. • Significant Attributes: • Card playerCard – reference to the head of the list of cards that the player has. • IntcardCount – counter for the number of cards in the players hand.

12. Manager Classes • These are the abstract classes that do not contain properties or items that are needed to play the game, but contain properties that are needed to run the game. • Called ‘manager classes’ because they are in charge of managing a specific task.

13. Classes – Manager Class • GameManager • This abstract class is the most significant class of the game, it contains maybe 1/3 of the methods that are needed to run the game. • Manages simple things such as the distribution of cards, setting of players , setting the monkey card, transferring of a card from a player to another, to more complex such as the algorithm for AI’s moves.

21. END of PRESENTATION

22. Why is the game named “Monkey Doo”? • In local terms, this game is called ‘onggoy-onggoy’ or ‘onggoy-onggoyan’. Translating that to English would be ‘Monkey-Monkey’, but that sounds funny right? • So why Doo? • Doo is a random word that entered my mind when I was thinking of a name for the game, thus the name ‘Monkey Doo’. COOL :P

23. In Game Cheats • Hand Peep* • It allows the player to SEE the hand of the opponent! • Card Peep • It selects a random card of from the opponents hand and shows it to the player. • Two Card Peep • Same as Card Peep, but twice the viewing! • Mkey Point • Tells the player who currently has the Monkey Card • Mkey You • Tells the player if he has the Monkey Card or not • Double or Nothing • At the end of the game, if this cheat is activated and the player Wins, he earns double the points. • 25% Boost • At the end of the game, the player earns 25% more point.

24. How to get Cheats? • At the end of every game, a player has a chance of receiving cheats, more chances if he has won. • A player may but cheats using his hard earned points at the Main Menu, before a game.
