The game controls use the SPACE bar to jump and ENTER to shoot. These keys were chosen because they are in natural positions and commonly used for jumping and shooting in other games. When the player collides with an obstacle or falls, they are taken to a death page where they can press SPACE to restart. The game is designed for computer only since the controls are easier to use on a large screen compared to mobile devices. When hit, the music stops and a slashing sound plays, while a bullet sound notifies the player when they fire their shot.

1. Game Interface
The controls we have used for our game is the key SPACE for jump,
we chose this because it’s the closest key and the biggest key for you
to be able to press it, also they are commonly used as a jump key in
most computer games. The key ENTER is used to shoot, this is because
with your other hand (right) and also is the right hand side of the
keyboard so it is a natural position for your hand to be in. We
decided to have these two keys as the player playing our game
needs to have quick reactions due to it being a fast moving endless
runner game with a lot of obstacles in the way to try and avoid such
as ninja’s and ninja stars.
When the player collides with a ninja, ninja star or falling down from
the platform, it will go to a ‘death’ page where if you would want to
restart the game then you have to press space to restart again. We
use this key because it is the easiest key to find and isn’t complicated
to use this is why we decided to choose it from the others.
We decided to make it so it was for computer only, we decided this
because it is easier for the controls to be used and also it is easier to
play on a big screen and if we wanted to we could make it into an
iphone format, but it would be harder to change from iphone to
computer.
Once the secret agent has been hit the music stops, also there is a
quite slashing noise to notify that the player has been hit by a ninja
star or hit by the ninja, but when the player shoots a bullet, there is a
bullet noise which is used to notify that the player has fired a bullet
to destroy a ninja.
