End of the Year Blog

I can't believe it's over and I'm graduating. This has been an exciting year. Me and SarahEllen made a video game, well, a level from a video game, I was editor in chief of yearbook, and I even got to my favorite band in concert. =D But Next college.

This class was a great experience for me. Learning coding for a game is hard and complex but teaches you something new you never knew before.

SarahEllen and I finished out first level and when we showed it and got positive feedback, I was one of the most happiest teenagers in our school.

This was a fun class and I looked forward to it everyday. It made school fun because you're learning what you want to.

The next few pictures are our game and I will explain each screenshot.

Here you will see our main menu.




Here you will see the question and you select your answer with the mouse.




If you chose the car, you are wrong.




If you chose the bus you are partially right but it's not the answer we're looking for.




The bike is right so now you can play a mini game.




This is the directions for the mini game.




Here is the mini game. This took the longest to make and we are very proud of it.




And you are done and we have completed the game. :) Enjoy.

Game Presentation Idea

Well, I wasn't here Thursday because my friend took me to see my favorite band for my concert but I have returned relaxed and ready to finish this school year.

SarahEllen has went over what we are supposed to be doing for our presentation and I have a feeling we are close to finishing this level 1. I don't think we'll have time for level 2 because we have to get our presentation together.

We are going to do a powerpoint with game slides, ideas of the game, descriptions of the game, and other things they need for our games.

As this year is coming to an end, we are getting more excited for graduating but I think me and Sarahellen will be ready. I can't wait til it's over though. Stressful. Very stressful.

Dated Outline (From SarahEllen)

In the next couple of class periods, we hope to have our boundary code fixed. After that, we plan to add the trash items to the game and code them into the mini-game by April 23 or April 27. Following that, we plan to finish drawing and coding the mini-game by May 7. We hope to have Level 1 complete and have everything we went in it by May 15th. This will most likely be our game demo for the STEM competition. If we have time, we will begin work on Level 2.

Outline.

We are supposed to do an outline for the rest of our game but I'm not really sure if this will go as planned but here is what I hope we can go by.
By the end of April I hope to finish our 1st level. We've gotten so far with it and we are almost done. We just need a few more codes and that's all.
Then through may we hope to at least start on the first part of level two and if we have time we hope to at least get something for the level 2 mini game.

So much is coming up like prom and graduation and summer vacation. College is getting closer too and there is so much to do for it. Hopefully our game can be completed without any distractions.

end of the year.

Well. Here we are with about 6 weeks of school left and we are almost finished with our first level. We have had many snow days and then our router gets stolen during "Fake Break." But I think we have caught up pretty well. We plan to finish our first level and then try to get a start with the second level. We have a scrolling background finally and we have our character moving but now we have to work with the boundary. As soon as we're done with that we're going to put some trash all over the roads and then have the biker pick it up to recycle for points. Then we need to get start with our 2nd question. Hopefully we don't have any more problems.

March 25, 2010

Well. We were supposed to spend the whole class working on our games but...we can not find our game therefore we did nothing but search for our games. Hopefully we find it soon. I know you can go get the code on our latest upload but of course last class we didnt have time to upload to the wiki what we spent for on last class and we lost it.

Progress

Well we have a little over 2 months left of school and our game is somewhat moving along. We post our game everytime we update so I think we do great with that. Also coding is getting easier and a lot I noticed is the same as myspace. These snow days have slowed us down but I think we will move a long and I do think we deserve good credit because everyday we've had class we've moved along pretty well. With sarahellen on coding and me on design I think we make a great team.
