BSc IT Project Guide: Idle Clicker Game
1. Introduction
The Idle Clicker Game is a casual game project where players click to collect resources and use those resources to upgrade systems, improving their collection rate over time. This project will demonstrate skills in game logic development, user interface design, and resource management systems.
2. Objectives
- Design and implement a user-friendly idle clicker game.
- Implement incremental resource collection logic.
- Allow upgrades that affect click efficiency and passive resource generation.
- Include persistent data storage to maintain user progress.
3. Tools and Technologies
- Unity / Godot / HTML5 + JavaScript (Game Development)
- C# / GDScript / JavaScript (Programming Languages)
- SQLite / LocalStorage (Data Persistence)
- Photoshop / GIMP (Graphics Design)
