Corridor Defence (Tower Defence game)

Note: All features are implemented; however, the actual parameters are not fine-tuned, leading to unbalanced gameplay. You may have to use the money cheat (press m) to be able to build enough defences to stop the enemies

Features:

3-panel store with radio-button-like interface and info panel

• click on an item in the store to see a description

Place and delete turrets and traps

• place turrets and traps by selecting an item in the store and clicking a grid spot in the playing field. Each spot can hold at most 1 turret and 1 trap. Items can also be placed by holding space and moving the mouse over the playing field (be careful - this can be expensive!)
• delete items by selecting the desired item on the field and clicking the Delete button or pressing d

Upgrades for the Door (castle)

• upgrade your door by selecting an upgrade from the Door menu and then clicking on the door

Speed controls

• the game can be paused indefinitely by clicking the || button or by pressing p. Items can still be placed while paused, however the Wave Timer will also continue to increase
• click the > button or press s to speed up the game (only speeds up movement - reload and wave timers are unaffected)

Scoring

• for every enemy you destroy before it reaches the final door, you get 1 point and some dollar value of money
• use money to buy upgrades and items
