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.

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...

Blender - Mushroom

I created a mushroom in the program Blender which is based on a tutorial which can be seen  here . Making the mushroom it was necessary to make a texture that shows up as a 2D image like  this . Unfortunately, after I tried to add more of a curve to my mushroom, I overlapped UPDATE: google doc links for my texture: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pvV1wl_wucLXwIbkilf9hS55Xozkr_94/view?usp=sharing  and .blend file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z_NbJv-Yc13QFLfwofa8uZStwidvvCux/view?usp=sharing

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.
