Mini Game

This mini game has been the best one I done. I made it in soccer because I love to play soccer. I also made the game a little more challenging so you won't get so many points.I made a line so when you get to close to were the soccer ball appears it throws you back from where you started. My game has two decoys in the bottom so you have to dodge them to get points.If you touch them you  loss points.I also like that I added a start page to play the game. This helps me understand that I can make a game in a week so I have too be able to finish my own game that I will make later.

Play to Learn Part 2

What I learn from this games is, if you want a fun and educating game I think action would be the best genre. For example the game math sports its a fun game but at the same time your learning math and also to see how fast you can solve the equation. The game features that stood out I think were that in the game flood escape is that after the first level the character jumps higher and falls down slower also what I like about some games were that they had a movie clip or story that goes with the game. Another thing that I like where that the character move his feet on two of the games that I play. One questions that I have for the creators is what was their first idea for their game and how they made it better as they thought of new ideas?

Present your hidden object game

My learning topic of my game is history, I want the player to learn the weapons use in the civil war and the items. That's the most important thing for me for the player to learn. I research the uniforms use in the war, the weapons, and ships. I learn that at first the confederate side didn't have an official uniform, and many were sometimes seen as the enemy because they would wear navy blue clothes.The unions official uniform was a navy blue color that's why confederate army soldiers who wore navy blue clothes were seen as the enemy.The idea that will make this game fun is the objects are hidden pretty good and one moves through out the screen. Before I made the complete game my first ideas were good but I found better ways to make the game  more challenging.One of my first ideas was to have a ship in the ocean, but then I decide it would be better without it because it would take to much time to draw and take to much space.
        I think the best game ingredients for me was the timer.The timer was very helpful because they would have to make the best effort to find the objects before the time ran out.
        For me the most difficult part of the game was the timer going to the lose screen and staying there. The problem was that the time ran out and go to the lose screen then after a couple of seconds it would go to the win screen.I couldn't over come the problem even after I move the layers around and check the code for errors.It frustrate me because it would keep on changing screens.
        The  best features of my game are the clouds moving form side to side.It was very simple because I only needed to create a motion tween for it to move.I also think one of my best features is that the objects are camouflage with the background so they are hard to see.

Add Game Ingredients

The ingredients that I added to my are the score. For every object that you find you will get one point, you need to find them all which there are ten objects. When you find the ten objects you will go to a win screen. It has a button to play the game again. Another ingredient that I added was a win or lose screen. You win by getting all the objects in time and you lose when the time runs out. The timer was another ingredient in my game, you have forty seconds to find all the objects, but if you don't you lose the game and you will have to start all over. I try to hide the objects the best I could trying to find somewhere well they won't be notice immediately when you play the game.

Hidden Objects

This is the first time that I made a hidden game, but to me it seems like its coming out good so far. Some of the actions that I would like to add to the objects that after you get all the objects you will go to a win screen that I will make in my game. The actions on the objects right now are very simple you click on them and they disappear. What to longer on making the objects were to draw them and coloring them. Putting in the actions was very simple. Now I have to combined the objects and the background together to see where to hide the objects.

Paper Prototype Drawing Background

The background for my hidden game is on the sea sore with mountains and there is fire in the background. I like it because I think its good for the hidden objects that I choice. I think this is going too be a great game and its the first time I have done a hidden game object so let's see how it goes. I took my time on the colors for the game because I wanted too make it more realistic. It took a lot of work to get the color that I wanted in the game, but it was wort it.

Making paper prototype

The paper prototype help me solve get an idea what the game scene. It help me get an idea were I want to hide the objects. I also drew the objects depending on how they would look I got an idea of how to hide them.The paper portotype was a lot of help for the game because it gave me an idea on the game and how to hide the iteams even better. I made the paper prototype on the seasore on a battle scene to make it more hard for the palyer to find the ideams. I think the paper prototype is a lot of help because when you work on it on flash you could have more ideas on the game on how to make it better.
