This program is a basic cannon game that functions primarily through file I/O. You load custom environments through the settings menu, then play on them by pressing play from the main menu. You fire projectiles at the boss to win the level. Some levels contain destructible objects that can be destroyed, but don’t have to be to win the level. Each projectile has a blast radius proportionate to the cost to buy it in the shop. Because of this, even if you hit the ground or a destructible object, you may still damage the boss. When testing this game use the cheat codes Hossein, Graham, powder, and $$$ to gain money power and score(all capitalized as you see here). Try to use the super star of death from the shop for maximum fun.

Overview:

This is a basic overview of the structure of the class files:

Red: Frames
Green: Panels
Blue: Class files that are not visually seen

All Classes have comments at the top explaining what exactly they do. Since pnlPlay is the most complex and important, it has a comment explaining every method and sub class.

The third tier of panels (green) aren’t their own files, but are instead defined and created within their parent file
