Term 1 - Game Maker




Introduction

The topic for term 1 was game maker. I made a maze game. The object of the game was to collect all the crystals so you could get to the next level. And you can’t touch the monsters otherwise you have to start again.

Software package

it was fun but it was a challenge as well it was confusing when we put all the code things together like if you hit a monster you lose a life and you have to start at again that was a bit tricky making sure you put them in the right place because if you didn’t it would go completely wrong. It is an awesome thing to know because if you become like a person who creates games this is very useful. And if you know all these skills so when you’re bored or something you can just sit there for like 2 hours or more and just work on you game save it and then just keep working on it. And it is so good to see your game when you’re finished. We learnt how to move the player, how to put boundaries up so the player can’t disappear out of the game. We also learnt how to restart game and how to collect the diamonds to receive points for your player.

Assessment tasks 

we just had one task to complete. That was the maze game. We had to create a maze game that went from easy and go harder as you went on. We had to include 3 or more monsters so if you touched them you would have to start that level again. With my game you had to collect all the diamonds and reach the flag to go to the next level. 

Assessment idea
my maze was in a dark forest with monsters trying to stop you from succeeding.

Here are some screenshots of the gameplay:

Personal review of the unit
