WharfManu

WharfManu is a simple and fun diving game where the goal is to perform the best "manu" off the wharf! You'll be judged on your entry into the water – aim for the BIGGEST splash! Somersaults will also impress the judges!

How to Play

Download https://github.com/AmbiguousError/WharfManu/blob/main/dist/WharfManu.exe The game is all about timing your jump and controlling your diver in the air.

Controls:

• Space Bar:
  • Press once when the diver is on the platform to start the jump timing bar.
  • Press again to jump. The accuracy of this press determines your jump power.
  • Press to advance to the next manu or restart the competition after it ends.
• Left/Right Arrow Keys: Control the diver's rotation (somersaults) while in the air.
• Up/Down Arrow Keys: Control the diver's pike or tuck position while in the air.

Gameplay:

1. Starting the Jump: When your diver is on the wharf, press the SPACE BAR to activate the jump timing bar.
2. Jumping: A marker will move along the timing bar. Press SPACE BAR again to make the diver jump.
   • Hitting the green zone gives you maximum jump power.
   • Hitting the yellow zone gives you a good jump.
   • Missing these zones results in a weaker jump.
3. Diving:
   • Once in the air, use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW KEYS to make your diver rotate and perform somersaults.
   • Use the UP and DOWN ARROW KEYS to adjust your diver's pike (how much they are bent at the hips).
4. Entry: The angle and form of your diver as they enter the water determine your score. A dramatic, horizontal entry with maximum splash (a large "entry width") is best!
5. Scoring:
   • You get scores from 5 judges for each manu. The highest and lowest scores are dropped, and the remaining three are summed up.
   • The main factor for your score is the "entry width" – a larger width (more splash) means a higher score!
   • The number of somersaults completed is also displayed.
6. Competition:
   • You have 3 attempts per competition.
   • Your total score for the competition is the sum of your scores from the 3 manus.
   • After the competition, your total score will be displayed, and you'll see if you made it onto the high scores list!
