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.

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.

GameMaker - Asteroids Part A

I began making a game based on or similar to the game Asteroids. There is a  link  in this blog post to see what I have done so far. Making this game there were a few issues I ran into, one of which was the coding the actions to the events. To fix this, I asked for some help, after which I learned that you could look at the tab that would pop up for where to make the fixes. I also, had found that the concepts that the tutorials introduced were fairly confusing, which I solved by going back and re-watching it.

Pixel Art

I decided to recreate the Delorean from the Back To The Future trilogy in the form of pixel art, as it was this school that honours Michael J. Fox and his donations to this school and as he stars in the movie. Making the pixel art, I used skills from last year and used an image of the modified Delorean and a picture of lines of fire that is iconic with the vehicle.
