Kodu Pac-Man

1:
My game was fairly different from the original in that the game has apples at on point each while Pac-Man has 10 each. the concept of getting as many points and "ghosts" chasing you still remained the same although I used special apples to gain more points and make it easier.
2:
To make the game different I added two different power ups, I also made the map an en even square that was different from the regular square or rectangle. there is only one life for the cycle which makes it harder and is different from the original which gives you three.
3:
Making the map, I had difficulty when I found that may map was too big and had too many apples which slowed the game. to fix this I had to lower the number of apples I used by a lot. I also ran into trouble when I tried to look at the map, the walls around the edges were too tall, not allowing me to have full sight of the map, which I fixed by lowering the walls.
4:
When beta tested, I received feedback that my "ghosts" were too slow and that my "ghosts" were programmed wrong to wander around when not seeing the cycle. To fix what was suggested, I sped up the "ghost " in the programming and slowed the cycle. Also, I asked a couple of my friends and the teacher to find out how to program the "ghost" to wander.
5:
To improve my game, I would find a way to make the power-ups more effective and make it a little harder to play. I would have liked to create a power-up that allows the cycle to fight back although I do think it would be too complicated for me. I would also like to add more "ghosts" as the large map I used often had the "ghosts" wandering around the center of the map and not reaching the cycle.

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...

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. Pixel Art: the images I used as inspiration:
