#Project 7 - jQuery Battle
##Do Now Begin this lesson by completing the Do Now activity.
##Scope You've just been hired as a game developer for Games Forever to create a web game using JavaScript. You've been given total creative control with a few tiny constraints. The game needs to be controlled using the left, up, down, and right keys (or if you prefer the WASD keys)
##Project Criteria The Manager has laid out the following requirements for the project.
- This game must use jQuery key bindings to move the character
- The user must be able to play the game using the WASD keys and the Up, Left, Down, Right keys
- It must have at least one player
- The character must have the ability to respond to other elements in the game (like an enemy or another player)
- There must be a win condition for players
##Learning Objectives By the end of this project, the employee will be able to create interactive pages and games using key binding events with jQuery and object-oriented JavaScript to manipulate a web page or create a game.

##Vocabulary
- Event Handler

##Instructions If you have not already seen a final product ask your instructor to show a working game.
You are not given any Starter Code for this project. However, your manager has provided you with some useful direction to complete this project. Follow the step-by-step instructions below.
Although these directions do not provide all the answers for this project, they do provide you with the guidance you will need to make this project.
###1) Create a GitHub repo and C9 workspace for this project
###2) Create a Game Board In order to create a gameboard you are going to need to use a tag new to HTML5. You will need to use the canvas tag
To learn more information about the canvas tag...... Google it! :P
###3) Create a character When creating a character you have a few options:
- Google "sprites"
- Use any of these
- Create your own Sprite. Consider holding off until later to complete this.
###4) Set up the collision feature This can be accomplished using the coordinates of the two objects.
##Bonus Criteria Your Manager has offered a stipend of $500 for each of the bonus requirements listed below:
- Have the sprite start in a random location on the canvas
- Make this a 2-player game
- Create your own Sprite
##Grading Criteria Your manager will be grading your capability on this project based on this rubric.
