Today at camp group one put the finishing touches on our games! We finalized both our “dodgeball” and our “brickbreaker” games, and got time at the end to go around and play each others games!
Group two finished making our entire games! We optimized our games and checked them out for glitches! Then we played each others games, competing for high scores, and put them on a thumbdrive to take home!
Today in group one we finished animating our characters and did a test run of our games! After a short break to play gaga outside, we came back and picked out our sound effects for collisions between characters and even added background music to our games!
In group two, we finished programming level 2 and the boss level of our games! We also made portals so that once you beat a level, it takes you on to the next one! We also got to play loads of gaga and basketball out in the sun to take a break from programming for a bit!
Level 1:
Today at camp, we completed creating our video game characters, and coded our games! We also had some time to check out cool games that people had created on the computers before us.
Level 2:
Today at camp, we finished our programming level 1 of our program! We added power ups, coins, and a scoreboard. Then we started to work on Level 2!
Today at camp group two finished making our platforms and characters! Then we added lives to the game and made our characters move! We also programmed our good guys and bad guys to interact with each other. Then we added background music to our game!
In group one we began to program our characters! We made the main character move and the villains patrol in set patterns, so that the game is finally playable! We all worked on touching up our art and populating our games!
Today at camp, group one began to brainstorm our own video game characters! We gave them background stories and places to live. Then we got to start programming our games! We worked with a partner to draw our games’ backdrops on the computer!
In group two, we started to design our code programs. We split into groups to brainstorm what kinds of games we wanted to make. Then we pitched our ideas to our teachers to get them approved! We finished making the start menus and characteristics for the first level!
