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.

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.

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:

Scratch Level 4 - Make Your Own Game

My Game link:  https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/191531958/#player 1: Programming this game, I came across several problems, some I found fixable with others not being possible to fix. Some of the problems were with the characters's motion and others with the controls of the game. I found that a player could constantly squat and hold down the fire button which was hard to counter, which was removed by programming with the <not __> block. I also found found that the characters were returning to costumes that made them look like they were turning back and forth which I found was, however, unsolvable in certain cases although it was possible with others by programming entire buttons to do a more advanced motion and not a combination of them. A character selection screen was also another one o my problen with how complicated it  2: I was able to get a basic understanding of the programming of the controls with projectile attacks and the backdrop and the point system from tu
