The Day of Solace

The Day of Solace

The final build of Earth Survivor 

Today I worked on changing up the fireballs to make them act a bit different and to make the game more interesting. Unfortunately, once I finished up all of the code and made the fireballs spin around in a ball, I realized that there really was no point for them to be there. The game works perfectly well without them and the difficulty is pretty high without adding more challenges. Perhaps if there were levels in greenfoot I would change it up. But unfortunately there is no level changing in Greenfoot and so I decided to not add the code/ spinning fireball. Then I decided since I was done with the game I was going to go look up level making and if you could add a timer into the game. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about adding a timer into the game besides one minor forum post that discussed that it was probable that it could happen but didn't actually show how. Another thing that I found out is that you can add a high score, which is great but doesn't really help me since it doesn't apply to the game that I am currently working at. That was around the time class ended, even though it doesn't seem like I did a lot, I was very happy with all the work that I have done for my game and am glad that it is finally done.

The Third Game 

I started to make a new game where the actors could start to move around spinning. However, I realized a bit too late that the game wasn't really fun and quite frankly made me want to throw up. The game was originally planned to work by you moving around the rotating red triangle. I got the code to moving around spinning which was great but then I started to really think about what I was going to do with this game. In the end after reflecting on what I had made, I thought of all the work I would have to do and what I hoped the end result would be. After this I realized that the means was not worth the end. I realized that I would be spending a lot of time to make a game that I would not be very proud of it and really was not worth my time or patience. So I decided to drop this game and move on to something that I wanted to do. My only regret is that I had spent way too much on this game and this pushed me to drop the game.

Game Number Four

How the new game works

This new game that I started working on for me is a lot better in my opinion since I actually enjoy what I am doing and enjoy the look of the game. Unfortunately, I had spent too much time working on the last game and so I have gotten only a little bit done. I unfortunately managed to only get the plane image in and the code to make the plane move around. Even though I had done very little, I am very glad with what I have done and can't wait to improve my game even more.
