Scratch Level 2 - Racing Game

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/187306343/
1:
In programming this game, I found the game was too hard to play, specifically because of the narrow path, slow turning speeds and high movement speeds. To fix this, I made the road a little wider, increased the number of degrees turned when the correct buttons are pressed, and slow down the acceleration rate of the planes.
2:
Making it based from the tutorial I watched, I changed the vehicle to a plane because ... why not? I also made it multiplayer to allow more people and make it a little more competitive. I also drew my own track to allow a more complex race than one in a round circle.

Disclaimer: I was unable to fix a problem that caused the plane to face the right angle. to fix this please stop the game and press the green flag(in that order) twice.

Kodu - intro

1: Working with the program , I had difficulties remembering to switch between the tools to allow me to edit the map. I often added objects onto the map instead of dragging across to see a different section of the map at a different angle. I also had difficulty with the programming of the Kudo and the bots as many of the tiles I read as doing the same thing when they meant the difference between gain one point for one apple once or gaining a point per apple each. 2: After receiving advice from a couple student, I made the game a little more challenging and made the map a little easier to maneuver through. To do this I made the bots faster and made the map have less boundaries, allowing the Kudo more open space to run. Bot programming: Map layout: Kudo programming:

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.
