  Story Premise
  The Jun Tao School of Martial Arts is a renowned school founded by Grandmaster Jun Long. He combined the philosophical and spiritual aspects of Buddhism and Taoism and started a martial system based on its principles. Upon Grandmaster Jun’s passing the school was handed down to his son; Jin Long. Master Jin long and his brother; Dar Long have been the school’s leaders ever since. Their inability to see eye-to-eye resulted in much conflict over the direction the school should take. Jin being the main successor only increased his brother’s envy. Upon Jin’s untimely death the school is poised to fall into the hands of Shui Long, the son of Jin Long; a young fighting prodigy who embodies the teachings of his grandfather. Shui is set to take control on his 21st birthday but unfortunate events occur on the eve of his succession. Members of a known International Crime sect intrude on and overrun the school kidnapping Shui’s uncle. Shui is left with few clues but he now embarks on his journey as he answers the Call of the Dragon.

  Notes on Combat
  
  
  
  
  Directional Blocking
  Directional blocking is a new mechanic introduced into Call of the Dragon. The enemies first think up a move (represented by a sequence of arrows above their heads) before they execute it. This gives you time to note the sequence as well as the direction they point to prepare yourself for a block. Up arrows are high attacks so require high blocks and vice versa.
  
  
  Note: Blocks increase your Yin metre, once full and activated using the space key you will have a temporary period of invincibility.
  
  
                            
  
  
  Intercepts, Fakes & Evades
  Intercepts are used to reverse the flow of combat. For example when an enemy is on an aggressive offensive mode and you take a defensive mode it can be difficult to get out of such a situation without taking damage. Intercept moves allow you intercept an on-coming attack, break through it and attack the enemy without having to block their attack first. The move list has the necessary details to perform an intercept.
  
  
  Fakes are neutral moves that force the enemy to block in a specific direction opening them up completely in all other directions. These moves give you a clear and free shot provided your next attack is targeted at a chink in their armour. The foot fake can be followed up by a quick front kick by simply hitting the d button as the fake takes place.
  
  
  There are several moves that allow you evade from heated situations, such moves include the back dash and back hand spring. These moves also serve as blocks to ensure the enemies cannot harm you. While performing a back hand spring should you hit the d button before Shui’s hands hit the ground you can perform a pop flip also known as a Chinese getup.
  
  
  Weapons
  Shui can only pick specific weapons on the ground, these include the sticks, poles, Nunchuk’s and darts. Once you pick the weapons you can use them in combat for as long as their lifespan permits. The darts can be thrown at an enemy forcing them to drop their weapon. The double groin hit can also be used to force an enemy to drop their weapon. Once enemies die they leave their weapons behind.
  
  
  Slow Motion Combo Linking
  Some of the special moves are executed in slow motion at random occurrences. While a move is performed in slow motion you can switch from one special move to another by simply entering the button combination for the new move before the old one is completed. This technique can be used to string several special moves together to gain more hits and more points.
  
  
  Note: Special moves increase your Yang metre, once full and activated using the space key you will have a temporary period of boosted power levels. During this time enemies will be unable to block any of your attacks.
  
  
  The Dragon Effect
  When both your yin and yang metres are full and the dragon glows gold you can hit the space key to activate the dragon effect. Once activated time slows down for your enemies while you remain at normal speed allowing you dish out devastating combos.
  
  
  The Editor
  
  
  
  
  To run the editor, navigate to the editor directory and double click the editor.exe file, this should invoke the editor program. The editor can be used to edit the current game levels or even create your own levels from scratch and run them.
  
  
  
  
  The Main Menu
  The main menu consists of 7 main segments shown below and a set of grid control segments.
  
  
  
  
  
  ·         Stage menu, allows you to create a new stage, load an existing stage, save the current stage and exit the editor. A stage is the sum total of objects and entities you have organised into the scene, i.e. the background, actors, weapon, props and fight zones.
  
  
  ·         Board menu, allows you to load an existing board or delete the current board. A board is another name for the background.
  
  
  ·         Actor menu, allows you to add a new actor (all human-like characters) to the scene or remove an existing actor from the scene.
  
  
  ·         Camera menu, allows you to toggle between a fixed camera system and a free camera system so you can control the camera with the mouse. Press the escape key, the enter key or the spacebar to return to the normal fixed camera system.
  
  
  ·         Body menu, allows you to add a new rigid body to the scene or remove an existing rigid body from the scene. The rigid bodies are the interactive objects featured in the game.
  
  
  ·         Zone menu, allows you add a new fight zone to the scene or remove an existing fight zone from the scene. The fight zone represents the area in which a fight takes place.
  
  
  ·         Weapon menu, allows you add a new weapon to the scene or remove an existing weapon from the scene. The weapons are the objects that both the protagonist and antagonist(s) can pick up and use to fight.
  
  
  ·         Grid menu, allows you toggle the visibility of the right-hand-side grid. Toggling it on fixes the camera and allows you use the controls, toggling it off lets you control the camera by shifting the mouse to the screen borders or using the mouse wheel to zoom.
  
  
  The Grid
  The grid is a set of controls located on the right-hand-side of the screen. It can be activated or deactivated using the grid menu and once activated you will be able to use the controls to manipulate stages.
  
  
  Entity Information
  This table displays all the position, orientation and size attributes of the selected entity. The table is updated in realtime as you manipulate these entities giving you quick and easy feedback.
  
  
  Entity Names
  
  
  This table displays the name of the file you’re dealing with as well as the name of the selected entity. The game recognises the stages by their number from 1 to 7 so it would be best to maintain the naming convention. The value within the file name box is used while executing the load and save stage commands. You can alter the names by simply clicking on the box, using the keyboard to input a new name and hitting the enter key.
  
  
  Entity Dynamics
  
  
  This table is used to manipulate the entities and reset their dynamics. Click on one of the option buttons to focus manipulation on the particular dynamic and click the nearby command button to reset the dynamic. To manipulate the entities use the W, A, S, D, Q and E buttons. W and S are used for Z axis manipulation, A and D are used for X axis manipulation and Q and E are used for Y axis manipulation.
  
  
  Entity Attributes
  
  
  This table is used for altering actor entity attributes. The control works via a sliding mechanism, in order to use it you must click on the box and while holding the mouse button 1 down slide the mouse to the left or right. The cloth attribute changes the actor’s outfit, the weapon attribute changes the actor’s weapon, the pose attribute changes the actors starting pose and the life attribute changes the amount of life the actor starts with.
  
  
  Entity Types
  
  
  This table is used to modify the type properties of each entity. Actor entities have 4 types; the interior actor (6 max, they start in the fight zone), the exterior actor (10 max, they start outside the fight zone), the interior boss actor (3 max, they start in the fight zone) and the exterior boss actor (3 max, they start outside the fight zone). Zone entities have 2 types; the normal fight zone and the boss fight zone. Body entities have several types which determine their appearance, i.e. tables, chairs etc. Weapon entities have several types which determine their appearance, i.e. sticks, bats etc. The weather type determines the type of weather, i.e. clear, snowing or raining.
  
  
  Entity Selection
  
  
  This table is used to restrict the selection of entities on the screen. There are 4 main types of selectable entities including; fight zones, actors, rigid bodies and weapons and to select them you must first select the appropriate option button.
  
  
  Entity Properties
  
  
  This table is used to toggle the wireframe property of the entire board and all other entities. Clicking the board wire check box will ensure the board is rendered in wireframe mode. Clicking the entity wire check box will ensure all other entities are rendered in wireframe mode.
  
  
  Entity Values
  
  
  This table is used to modify the increment value used when manipulation the position, orientation and scale of the entities. To change these values click on the box, type in the new value and then hit the enter key.
  
  
  Creating a Stage
  To create a stage you must use the steps shown below, reiterate the steps to refine and ultimately complete your stage. First ensure you’re working with a new stage and that the screen is clear of all entities.
  
  
  ·         Insert a file name 1 to 7 to and click the load board menu to load up the respective board.
  ·         Add the fight zones ensuring that the last fight zone is a boss fight zone (zone type 1).
  ·         Setup your actors for each fight zone, including their clothes, types, weapons and poses.
  ·         Setup your rigid bodies and weapons.
  ·         Save your stage and exit the application (Note: names 1 to 7 are reserved for the stages used by the game)
