Art Game - Spider Queen
This project was inspired by the desire to conquer my fear for spiders, and revolves around the theme of 'Spider Queen' Elise from the video game League of Legends. There are 2 variations of the animation that I have created using a single image of a spritesheet, which viewers can access by pressing either 1 or 2 on the keyboard. The custom function that I wrote allows the change of cursor icon to an image on any mouse click. The spiderweb background was made with photoshop by me, and the image of the cursor is a screenshot of an in-game item captured from the video game. (Which, in the game, grants player invincibility for 3 seconds.) The help screen can be accessed by press 'h' on the keyboard, and viewers may enjoy viewing a picture of Elise by pressing e/E. In order to exit the program, press '=' at any time. The library code that I have imported uses the Minim audio library, which plays Elise's theme sound track from the game.
