Lesson 6 - Animating Part 2 Classes

What to Do?

1 - Open up your program from Animation Part 1.  We will be starting from here.  If you don't have a complete working version, here is a solution to it:

2 - Complete the tutorial Animation and Classes.

• Text version, video version or follow along in class.

  • • Youtube Link:

• GitHub program solution:

3 - Complete the Your Tasks section of the tutorial.  See the tutorial for more detail.

• Add at least 3 more tribbles to your program by declaring and constructing more Tribble objects.

• Use random numbers to initialize their speeds, sizes and textures.

• Add a sound so when a tribble hits a wall it plays a 'coo'.  The sound file tribble_coo.mp3 can be found in the 'Files' section.

  • • You may play the sound in the Game.cs file, or incorporate the sound into your Tribble class.

 4 - Complete optional challenges if you can.

• Add a second constructor to your Tribble class that creates  a tribble at a random location that travels at a random speed.  It should only take in a Texture2D as  parameter.  Everything else can be initialized in the constructor.

• Move the collision detection with the wall from your Game1.cs file and put it in the Move() method.  

  • • Your Tribble class will need access to the dimensions of your game window.  Either make it a field in the Tribble class, or pass it as a parameter to the Move() method.

• Instead of having a tribble bounce off the wall, have it appear on the other side of the window.  Similar to the challenge from Lesson 3 - Animation.

• Make a list of tribbles and animate them with loops.

  • • This is covered in the video.
