  starting screen It is the final week and I have completed my game! my game is called 'Avoid It!' and it is a 2D game.  In this game you have the player and obstacles they have to avoid. You use the 'W' and 'S' keys to move the player up and down to avoid the obstacles.  The obstacles spawn randomly at different time intervals. Once you hit an obstacle the game ends and you have the option to restart. There is also a score manager at the top of the screen that goes up every second you stay alive to keep track of your score, which I thought was a nice touch to the game. Finally I also added background music to the game to add a nice atmosphere and I think that this really adds to the game. Overall I enjoyed creating my game, it was definitely challenging and time consuming but in the end it was very rewarding! I definitely preffered creating 2D games this semester than 3D games. I used a variety of different scripts in my game to add different things. a link to ...

Designing a game This week for the project task we had to make a Game Design Document, I used Dundoc   to create mine. This website had an amazing layout to use which made making the document a lot easier to fill out. I feel I have a lot more insight going in to making my game now. Here is a link to my Game Design Document on Dundoc!  https://www.dundoc.com/project/7854

  Traffic light image The purpose of a vision statement is to communicate the vision in detailed terms. In this post I will be discussing my game ideas vision and components in more detail than previous.  Introduction The name of my game is going to be "Traffic Light" , this game is going to be a single player game where the main goal is to race to the end. You will need to have quick reflex's for this game and move quickly as it's very fast paced! You will be set in a 2D world where there is a traffic light at the end and a timer ticking down. The one rule being you can only move when the light is green with the objective of getting to the end before the timer runs out.  Description Starting off in a 2D world you will first get to pick your character from a variety of choices, once your character is chosen you will start the game. There will be compelling background music playing to add to the tension of the game. Once you press start the timer will begin at 1-2 minu...

  Traffic Light This week for the project research we were asked to choose our favourite idea from the brainstorm last week and continue researching that idea to further see if it would be a game we would enjoy making. From my brainstorming last week the idea I think I would enjoy the most and also be the most capable of making is the traffic light game. After re-reading my brainstorm post and considering all ideas I think this was the most structured and planned idea and would work well for this project.  Since my last post I've further researched this idea and thought of more ideas for it. One of my ideas is to have it single player game with a start and finish line. The game will begin and there will be a timer counting down, a player at the start line and a traffic light at the finish line. The player is only allowed to move forward when the light is green. If the player moves when the light is red they will either be sent back to the start line or eliminated. The game wil...

  Ideas Source:  https://pixabay.com/vectors/question-questions-man-head-2519654/ General Overview From somebody who has never really been into gaming I definitely found brainstorming ideas for possible games quite difficult, especially considering I have no idea what I will be capable of by the end of term. None the less I got out my notebook and began brainstorming. I juggled around with a few ideas but the four ideas I've come up with are: A Racing Game with Cars: Something that stands out to me from my childhood is watching my cousins play racing games on their consoles. Although they would never give me a shot (because I was a girl, I know how times have changed...) I always wanted to try it out. So one of the ideas I've come up with is to have a few cars racing in a lap to a finish line. Ideally it would be two to four cars with a countdown and then once the countdown is done they would all go and race. The lap would include different scenery along the way. It would cons...
