Alley_Cat_Ascent by Peter Crockettl

Alley cats love heights! Use cannons to blast the alley cat into the sky.

AIMING If you move the mouse to the left side of the screen, the cannons point left. If you move the mouse to the right, the cannons point right. The dotted line will give you an idea of your cannon's firing trajectory. Merely hitting a cannon with the alley cat will not put him in. He must enter through the mouth of a cannon.

FIRING When the alley cat is in a cannon, hold the mouse button to start the power meter. This meter determines how hard the cannon will fire. Let go of the mouse button to fire at the shown power level. When the meter turns green, the power level is maxed out.

SCORING You get more points every time you fire a cannon, hit a cannon, or bounce off a wall. Play for points, or just for height.

Good luck -- the alley cat is counting on you!

Starship by Ben Kaplan

This game is a classic shooter. The basic story is that Earth was invaded by an unknown army. You are a soldier who is tasked with holding them back. After the story, you have the option of using the keyboard (w,a,s,d) to control the ship, or have it follow the mouse. The gameplay begins with you fighting a group of 11 enemies. Defeat them to advance to the next wave. As each enemy dies, it has a chance of dropping either a shield (represented by the Greek letter Theta) or money (represented by the dollar sign). Touch these with your ship to collect them. At the same time, the enemy ships will by shooting small circles at you. If these touch you, you will get hurt. Once both waves and a boss are defeated on each level, you will go to the store. At the store, you have a chance of purchasing upgrades, such as an increased number of lasers or more powerful weapons. After leaving the store, you will move on to the next level.

Dunk_Contest by Mike Reed and Adam Lanka

The game starts by first selecting a difficulty to play; easy (Pres. Brodhead), medium (Prof. Ramm), and hard (Julius Erving aka Dr. J). After selecting a difficulty, a dunk combination of arrow directions will show on the screen, you have a limited time to look and try to remember this combination for use in the future. When the time is up, you move to the beginning of what we call the 'dunk phase.' In the first phase, you are prompted to click the mouse on the power bar and stop the power ball in one of the different colored areas before the timer expires, or you lose. Next you move to the phase where you click the directional arrow buttons; the best dunk will be the combination of directions that was shown, and is more difficult to perform. After this, you move to the final phase where you click the mouse on the slam bar to stop the slam ball in the central region of the bar. With the dunk phase now complete, the animation is performed after receiving the input from the power bar, directional arrow buttons, and the slam bar. Score is then generated based on the power, difficulty and success of the dunk, then compared to a randomly generated opponent's score (as levels increase, chance to generate higher numbers more frequently). If you receive a higher score than your opponent, you win, and the game ends.
