List of Implemented Features

Core Functionality (all levels)
3	Ball Shooting	When mouse button is pressed, ball shoots towards mouse
3	Ball aiming constraints	Shooter can only be aimed within the 120 degree range pointing toward the bottom of the screen . If the shooter is aimed outside of this range, it clamps to the edge of the range and shoots at the clamped angle.
1	Ball movement	Ball follows a ballistic trajectory.
1	Ball collisions	Balls collide with the buckets and the environment/side of the screen.
5	Peg collision	Pegs disappear after a collision with a ball. Pegs that have collided with a ball only disappear once the ball has come to rest in a bucket. Pegs that have collided with a ball visually show that they have been hit and can still be collided with, until the turn is over, or if 3 seconds have elapsed since it has been hit.
2	Next turn	The next ball can be shot only once the previous ball has come to rest in a bucket.
2	Ammo	The player starts each level with 5 balls. Each shot reduces the ball count by one.
3	Level completion / game over	The level ends in two ways: when the player has run out of balls (and some of the pegs remain), and when all the pegs have been destroyed.
4	Scoring	The final score for a level is calculated and displayed correctly: the sum of destroyed pegs plus the sum of the value of the buckets each ball is resting in at the end of the level plus any bonus awarded for a level.
Extra Functionality (all levels)		16%
4	Visual style and feel	Game is aesthetically pleasing, and levels play well.
1	Trail	Ball has a trail.
4	Improved Score Display	Score is updated as each peg is hit. As score increases, the number "animates" to the next number. A in-world popup of score is shown for each individual peg, and for when a ball rests in a bucket.
2	Lindslay-Mode	Pressing L teleports the current ball to the current mouse position. Ball velocity is reset.
3	Sound Effects	Audio when ball is shot. Audio when ball hits a peg. Audio when a ball collides with a bucket.
2	Music	Music plays throughout whole game. Music doesn't stop or restart when level is changed.

3	Start of level text	Display a message for 2 seconds: level number and title, brief description of that level's mechanics.
4	End of level success text	Displays a congratulations screen for 3 seconds after a level is completed. Message is from a random set of messages stored in an array.
1	End of level failure text	Displays a failure screen for 3 seconds after all ammo is used without destroying all pegs.
2	Cumulative Score	Displays the total running score across all levels and is "Animated" like the per-level score display.

2	Functionality	Level contains a button, which when hit by the ball opens up a secret area that contains a bonus pickup.
2	Bonus Pickup	Bonus pickup displays an onscreen bonus message including the bonus amount upon collision with the ball.
Level 4 – Checkpoint Bonus		5%
4	Functionality	Level contains at least 3 checkpoints, which when hit in order by the ball result in a bonus which appears on-screen after the final peg is destroyed. Checkpoints can be passed through by the ball rather than a normal collision.
1	Visual Feedback	Pegs visually show which number in the checkpoint sequence they are (i.e. have a number on them), and correctly show when the checkpoint has been activated.
Level 5 – Moving Pegs		3%
2	Functionality	Moving pegs follow a predetermined path and cause balls to bounce of them appropriately.
1	Correctly resetting	Pegs only reset when level is reloaded, not after each shot.
Level 6 – Homing Missiles		4%
2	Spawns	Missiles spawn from the sides of the screen every second when there is an in-flight ball. Missiles only collide with the ball, and not the pegs.
2	Functionality	Missiles seek the currently in-flight ball (and ignore the ball once it is in the bucket area) and destroy when they collide with it.
