Action Game: Add Scoring

I like games where you have a finish or end of some type. I like these types of games better because then you can figure out your own way to win. With highs-coring games you usually have to keep doing something over and over. Also in 'ending' games I feel like its more fun to play too.

Action Game: Create a Collectable Object

In my game I have five different types of collectables. Their is two of each different kind of collectable. I have two 'enemy' type collectables that set you back to the beginning. One is a spiked ball that moves left to right and another one that is a spiked cube that moves up and down. I have 3 other different types. A anti-malware cd that you have to collect both halves of. I have a plug that has the same thing of the cd. Last I have 2 pop-up ads that you hitTest to destroy them. Some of my collectables show some learning aspects of my game. The anti-malware cd shows that you should install security on your computer to help protect it from malware. You destroying the pop-up ads shows that you should never click on pop-up ads because lots of times they lead to viruses and malware. Some of the other collectables just add to the playing of the game. I am planning to replace some of my collectables later on to make my game more learning oriented.

Action Game: Make Movie Clip

My player is named Mevin Kitnick. Mevin Kitnick used to hack computers for fun, but know he works for security companies. He fell asleep while watching a movie, V is for Vendetta, and thinking about his computer. He woke in a dream and and has to fight off malware to find the anti-malware cd to disinfect his computer. In the dream, Mevin is shown as the Guy Fawkes mask, an item from the V is for Vendetta Movie. Mevin is able to jump up and down on a platform, but not able to move up and down and stay in place.

Action Game: Add Keyboard Control

I think I could make my games more interactive by adding clickable items or hints. Also when we add collectables and enemies that will help a lot to make the game more interactive. One thing I want to do personally to make my game more interactive is to add multiple scenes and better jumping animation.

Action Game: Move Player With Game Loop

I would also like for my player to jump in this game. Also, I want mp player to be able face the direction he is going when he move left or right. I would also want my player to be able to climb ladders. I could do this by putting a hitTest on it and then have the player's x value go down until it reaches the top.

Action Game: Set Start Position

When you change the x value, the MovieClip either moves left or right. So, when you change the y value, the MovieClip moves up or down. When I change the x value to be greater, the MovieClip moved to the right. When I changed the x value to be smaller, the MovieClip moved to the left. Same for y. When I made the y value bigger, the MovieClip moved down the screen. When I made the y value smaller, it moved up the page. The x and y coordinate plane in flash is like Quadrant 4 of a regular graph, except the y is absolute value. None of the results really surprised me because I knew what would happen when I changed the x and y value.

Action Game: Make and Trace Paper Prototype

My paper prototype is of my background. My background it supposed to make the player feel like he is in the inside of a computer. My paper prototype helped me solve how the layout of my game would work and it also helped me finalize how I thought the player would move and interact with his environment.

Action Game: Plan Game Scene

I plan for my game to take place inside a computer. It will be a platform/scrolling game and you will have to defeat different types of malware on your way to my collectable. Each malware will look different like viruses would be like bugs, worms would be computer worms, spyware will be a spy, etc. My collectable is an anti-virus cd that the player then takes to the cd drive so they can disinfect their computer. What really excites me about this game is the coding that I will be able to put into it.

Action Game: Choose Learning Topic

My game is about malware. I researched different types of malware and what each type can do. What surprised me was that there are lots of things malware can do and also that a single malicious program can be spread to millions. There have been major malware software that have caused major damages to google chrome and even caused the pentagon to ban thumb drives. I can use my game to help people learn what malware is, what it can do, how to prevent malware, how to find out if you have been infected with malware, and also how to get rid of malware.

Hidden Object Game: Present Game

Action Game: Play to Learn

I learned information about evolution, littering, parasites playing the games they picked up. I noticed that the link that was supposed to go to a game about bullying went to the wrong game. Some of the ideas I got for my game were having one of the levels being a maze. Also to add animation to the character when it moves or turns around.
