Final Project Proposal

For my end of the year project, I'll be trying to create a side scrolling version of Galaga. I'll try to learn about how to spawn enemies, program their attacks and how to make them harder. I'd also like to learn how to create a background that moves along with the walls.
I plan to use these tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuMgS3WuXuGLYr5YOOPK1lC7wWgcLuGlP ,

I want to change things by obviously changing the art used, but I'd also like to make it multiplayer to make things more interesting, with "teaming-killing" to be more realistic. I'll probably make small changes on the way as well. It will likely be divided into about 4 big,main steps, prep(looking at a few videos at home to gain knowledge in case tutorials move to fast), design, coding(might do this while i'm designing) and finishing touches( trying to be unique). I hope to spend my time at home learning about Gamemaker via tutorials at home first and allow myself to spend all of the next 6 classes on the art and coding and 2 classes on polishing it and making it more unique if I have time.

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. Pixel Art: the images I used as inspiration:
