Game Creation - Week 13

I have completed the task of getting the background to move along with the character and I began work on getting the colision working between the character and the cave entrance which sends the player to the next scene. This has so far proven to be difficult to code and it currently does not work correctly, as I could not get it working I temporarily left it to work on the collectables. I have now coded my designed collectables and they work correctly, when the character touches them, they disappear and the score increases by one. I am now returning to the next level issue to see if I can resolve it.

Game Creation - Week 12

During this week I was able to get my character moving with the help of a moodle tutorial and I moved onto getting the background to move along with the character. This is now nearly complete and I will be then moving on to getting the character to hitting a certain object which will send them to the next level.

Game Creation - Week 11

During this week I carried on with the animation work on my character. This is now complete and I am now working on the actionscript for the character which will allow the player to control them with the arrow buttons. This has so far proven more difficult than I original thought and it is taking me a while to figure out the correct action script.

Game Creation - Week 10

Now that I have completed the basic pieces of code that are used in my game I have now moved onto the complicated areas. I have started by trying to code my character so that the user has control over them. This code has so far proved to be quite difficult to do and it is a lot more complicated than what I originally thought. By using some tutorials as examples I am learning how to do the code for myself.

Game Creation - Week 9

During this week I was able to finish my character walking animation which now plays smoothly and the walking looks realistic. Next I began work on the games action script and in the time I had left for this week put in the basic pieces of code throughout the animation such as the stop's and the gotoAndPlay's.

Game Creation - Week 8

This week I continued with the walking animation for my character which was taking a long time to get all of the frames created and then running smoothly together. I have only a few frames left to do and I will continue with them next weeks lessons.

Game Creation - Week 7

During this week I continued work on the characters walking animation which I found to be quite time consuming as it required a lot of detail and it was all frame by frame animation. I am spending more time on this so that the animation plays smoothly and looks like the character is walking realistically.
