Photoshop Intro

In creating my header with Photoshop, I used images of Pong, Flappy Bird, Ronald McDonald, Mr. Poopy Butthole from Rick and Morty, Mothra clip-art, the crowbar from Half-Life, a "vote for Pedro" picture and log of the loading screen from a mac. With these images, I made several changes to allow them to fit together. The Pong image I used as the background had to be adjusted to size and properly cropped to show the main section of the game. Ronald McDonald and Flappy bird had to be colored in as they were transparent images with pencil and paint brush. the image of Mr. Poopy Butthole, Mothra and the crowbar required me to use the magic wand or quick select tool to select and remove background so that it would allow for the look of "one setting" in the header. The loader logo had to be worked on as well as the image's quality was not the best, requiring me to color in a little with the pencil tool. The "Vote for Pedro" image was placed onto the shirt with the regular move tool and was properly bent and angled with tricks using Ctrl. All of the images required the use of the move tool to move and properly place the images in a place I found was appropriate.

Scratch Level 3 - Pong

Project page:  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/185441294/ 1: While putting together the game, I faced a couple of problems. One of these problems was with how fast the ball started off and did not allow me to react quick enough, to fix this, I lowered the starting speed of the circle. I also found the game would take too long to get someone to score, so, I increased the rate at which the ball sped up. The coding was hard to keep track of at times, which I remedied by watching the tutorial and looking at the code often. 2: To differentiate my game from the tutorial, I first made the game a multiplayer game with two players as it was simple and allowed for more fun. I also played with the background, paddles and the circle. For the paddles, i used trampolines as it made sense with the circle bouncing around. I also used the button from the Watchmen, a graphic novel, and the background was just of a country I want to travel to. I also created a point system that allowed made the...

GameMaker - Asteroids - Part C

I've now finished the Asteroid and the google drive link is  here . Like before, the tutorials were a little fast paced for me but I managed to keep up by asking for help or re-watching the videos. I also, again, found that I made several typing errors especially when I though I knew what I was doing and did not follow the tutorials.This time however, I had problems with trying out some new ideas that were not used in the videos and which I came up with myself. I wanted to assign different image indexes of the same sprite to different on objects. This was a little confusing for a while, but with a little help and eventually realizing that I couldn't use a shortcut got me to get what I wanted. Other than that I made some artistic changes in the way the background, spaceship and asteroids looked. I also tried to change the mechanics of the game, in this case, by making the bullets that shoot out of the ship what propel the ship.

Game designer skills

Mathematics: I believe I would have skills in the mathematics section of game design. I find math simple to understand and relatively easy to remember as little concepts like multiplication and algebra can make up one large and complex equation. I also find risk in games like poker interest me as they force you to think and make the best choices for yourself. I could also apply my knowledge for things like input-output equations that would help come up with scoring systems that would take into account things like time or speed. Math could also help if i had to do patches for games to change certain things which, if collect enough information, I can use math to fix. Cinematography: I believe that I could be of use in the cinematography parts of game design as it works with what I learned in media arts 8 with the placement of the camera and the different shots that come with making a movie. I have also seen videos that have taught me about things like blocking and how to set up scene...
