[micro]MANAGER is a turn - based game where you control a cyan square. This little square is going to be in the middle of a 17 * 17 dot field, and it is going to be surrounded by orange triangles. These orange triangles are very simple AI that will dash by one unit towards the closest end of the field to escape the player 67% of the time, or make a random move 33% of the time, every time a "turn" has passed. The cyan square, cannot allow this. You must control the cyan square to run over the triangles, set up barriers, and manage each escapee, preventing them from escaping the field. If you are successful, you will be sent to the next level, where one more runaway will be added. You will play until a triangle escapes from you, and when one does, you will be sent back to the title screen. Have fun scouting out the field, catching up to intercept runaways, launching yourself across the screen, and propping up barriers to keep control as long as possible. If you are new to this game, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO AT THIS LINK: https://youtu.be/_hWeHDHPoE8 It will be very helpful to know how to play the game. This is my AP final for Computer Science Principles, so have fun!
