Scuba Diver is a traditional side-scrolling video game in which the player controls a character (scuba diver) that must move up, down, back or forward to avoid hazards (sea creatures) and reach the final goal before running out of oxygen (time). Keyboard commands are used to move the diver around in the environment. The timed nature of the game adds challenge and suspense. This experience focuses on developing skill and timing in moving around a simulated environment, as well as learning some fundamental building blocks of traditional video games.
