Animated Pixel Art

Making my animated gif, I used several tools including the move tool, rectangular marquee tool, lasso tool and Pencil tool. In the GIF, a man throws his wii remote at a T.V causing it to brake and allows one of the aliens from space invasion to attack him. I used a total of 56 frames, each changing the character's position.

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...

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...
