Adding Interaction

I used the mini game we completed earlier on in the semester to complete the adding interaction assignment on the wiki. I just changed the intances names within the mini game assingment and allowed the object to move left and right instead of just up and down.

Paper Prototype

I found it relatively easy to draw my paper prototype in flash. The reason being is because my drawing was basically all straight lines, which created little difficulty with drawing it. The way i actually wanted my game to look would have caused me to go into a bit more detail with my drawing, but i think i will save that for gaming II

Choosing A Topic

Identify a Game Genre For Exploring Your Topic

• Genre 1: First person shooter
  • Why I chose it: Im big fan of shooter games on xbox, and even old school arcade games such as galaga.

• Genre 2: Strategy
  • Why I chose it: Strategy games haven't really interested me much growing up, so i think creating one would be a good way to learn and explore the possibilities.

Playing to learn

Write comments about this assignment here There really wasn't a purpose of the shooter game. There seemed to be terroist running through the streets and you just aimed and shot and blew up buildings. The animation on the game was cool. The concept didn't seem to make sense but the graphics were good for such a low budget and pointless game. Yes, it looks good and it clearly illustrates the concept. It's clear and it works well. Give the game an actual purpose, like some enemies to kill. I would like to learn how to make a bullseye so i can create a shooter game and i would love to learn how they did there animation and graphics.

Go rabbit, Go! is a game were the user is playing the role of an injured rabbit running around from a mean turtle in order to collect his carrots. As far as the game from a learners point of view goes it utilizes collision detection and it keeps count of the carrots you have left to obtain in each level. It looks pretty good and it definitely clearly illustrates the concept. Yes, its clear what you need to do and it works very well. I would make the turtle a little bit tougher to get away from or make it come after the rabbit faster.

PowerPoint Presentation

I feel like my powerpoint presentation went well even though my game wasn't up to the standard that i wanted it to be. I didn't have the help i desired to create my vision.
