Finished

We did our presentation and I think that it went pretty well. It feels great to know that all of our hard work is over. This class was much harder than I thought it would be. I never realized that making a simple flash game could take so long or be so difficult. I thought that it was pretty cool to make a game even though it was so hard. The only thing that I would really want to change about the class is to cut down a little on the blogging and updating the wiki. Sometimes I feel like it takes up too much time, but it isn't really a big deal at all. I really enjoyed the class overall. It was a very nice change of pace from what we normally do in school.

Our Game

Our game is very close to being finished now. Once the barriers are finished we will be pretty much done unless we decide to add more sounds to our game. We might add an engine sound for our car and we also might add some music to make our game a little more exciting and upbeat. It feels good to know we are almost done with this project.

Adding Animation

The levels now scroll down as you are driving the car up the road and the bottles also scroll down the screen. We just need to make the score work and add some final touches to the game to make sure that everything works correctly. Our game is almost finished now. It really cool to see our game finally coming together.

Game Progress 4-16-10

We were able to make our car move using the control keys. We have been making great progress. Basically everything is drawn now. We just have to add sound, make the background move, and code the obstacles.

Game Progress

The main screen, instructions screen, level 1, and level 2 are now finsihed. The buttons for the instructions screen and to play are also working now. We now need to add sound, make the background scroll, code the obstacles, and make the car move. I knew that it would be hard to make the game and it was very hard at first, but I am now beginning to understand all of this much better and it is quickly becoming much easier for me to be able to do what I need to do in our game.

Adding Navigation

I worked today on making our play button on the main menu work. I got it to show up and change colors and I should be able to get it to work properly tomorrow. I also posted a video related to the topic of drunk driving because that is what our game will be about. The video shows a woman drivng through a set up course and then driving through it again while wearing goggles that simulate some of the effects of drunk driving. She also had to take a sobriety test while wearing the goggles.
