Safari Adventure!
Introduction
Safari Adventure is a 2D sprite-based1 video game (a sprite is a small image which may be moved) in which you move a character through the African savanna using keyboard controls. In Safari Adventure you have the option of playing one of three player types:- Tourist - tourists take photographs of animals. They receive points if they hit the 'A' (for action) key while near a wild animal.
- Veterinarian - Veterinarians receive points for darting animals and tagging them. The 'A' key causes the veterinarian to fire a dart which then travels in a straight line in the direction that the character is facing. If the dart hits an animal, the vet has 30 seconds to reach the animal and place a tracking collar on it by pressing the 'T' key. The vet receives points for every animal he or she tags.
- Guide - The guide is followed by several computer-controlled tourists. The guide receives points whenever a tourist successfully takes a picture of an animal and loses points whenever a tourist is injured by an animal.
- Lion - Lions wander the savanna randomly until they end up close to a human. When they are close to humans they chase the nearest human. If a lion reaches the human, the human is injured.
- Elephant - Elephants wander the savanna randomly. If they accidentally collide with a human, the human is injured. Elephants do not chase humans.
- Antelope - Antelopes wander randomly until they end up close to a human. When they end up near to a human they run away quickly.
