Core Functionality (all levels)		24%
3	Ball Shooting	When mouse button is pressed (1 mark), ball shoots towards mouse (2 marks).
3	Ball aiming constraints	Shooter can only be aimed within the 120 degree range pointing toward the bottom of the screen (2 marks). If the shooter is aimed outside of this range, it clamps to the edge of the range and shoots at the clamped angle (1 mark).
1	Ball movement	Ball follows a ballistic trajectory, i.e. like a ball thrown through the air (1 mark).
1	Ball collisions	Balls collide with the buckets and the environment/side of the screen (1 mark).
5	Peg collision	Pegs disappear after a collision with a ball (2 marks). Pegs that have collided with a ball only disappear once the ball has come to rest in a bucket (i.e. at the end of a "turn") (1.5 marks). Pegs that have collided with a ball visually show that they have been hit and can still be collided with, until the turn is over (1 mark), or if 3 seconds have elapsed since it has been hit (0.5 marks; to prevent the ball getting stuck in the level and never reaching the bucket).
2	Next turn	The next ball can be shot only once the previous ball has come to rest in a bucket (1 mark; +1 mark for detecting ball is at rest for a short period of time, and doesn't incorrectly trigger when at velocity is low at the "top"/peak of a bounce). (Note: Removed the requirement in this item about "5 seconds")
2	Ammo	The player should start each level with 5 balls (1 mark). Each shot should reduce the ball count by one (1 mark).
3	Level completion / game over	The level ends in two ways: when the player has run out of balls (and some of the pegs remain) (1 mark), and when all the pegs have been destroyed (2 marks).
4	Scoring	The final score for a level is calculated and displayed correctly: the sum of destroyed pegs (1 mark); plus the sum of the value of the buckets each ball is resting in at the end of the level (2 marks); plus any bonus awarded for a level.

2	In-game UI	The amount of balls remaining is visually shown with either a number (1 mark) OR with a number of UI sprites (2 marks).

4	End of level success text	Display a congratulations screen for 3 seconds after a level is completed (1 mark). Message should be from a random set of messages of your choosing (2 marks). Shows a final level score (1 mark).
1	End of level failure text	Display a failure screen for 3 seconds after all ammo is used without destroying all pegs (1 mark).
2	Cumulative Score	Display the total running score across all levels (1 mark). "Animated" like the per-level score display (1 mark).

2	Functionality	Level contains a button, which when hit by the ball opens up a secret area that contains a bonus pickup.
2	Bonus Pickup	Bonus pickup displays an onscreen bonus message including the bonus amount upon collision with the ball.
Level 4 – Checkpoint Bonus		5%
4	Functionality	Level contains at least 3 checkpoints, which when hit in order by the ball result in a bonus which appears on-screen after the final peg is destroyed (1 mark). Checkpoints can be passed through by the ball rather than a normal collision (1 mark). If a checkpoint is hit out of sequence, the entire sequence must be restarted (2 marks).
1	Visual Feedback	Pegs visually show which number in the checkpoint sequence they are (i.e. have a number on them), and correctly show when the checkpoint has been activated.
