Create a new folder where you are going to store a copy of your game.
Create a new Word document and write down everything you can think of about your work; complex scripts, levels, monsters, backgrounds, etc. (screenshots will be appreciated). Mention any other source (internet) from where you have "copied" scripts or taken ideas.
At the start of the document write your names, user accounts and the folder where the game has been stored.
Now that you are all expert programmers, is time to work on a real game!
Your game should have:
different levels
different backgrounds
a way to win and lose the game
Game rules on screen
etc.
Game ideas:
Easy {focuses on sprite interaction more and uses some variables and preferable keeps score}
basket catching game-make random objects drop in random places with a random speeds and moves downward to a basket that is used to catch the objects also keeps score.
sprite adventure game- make a sprite that is controlled using a keyboard and make him go on an adventure and the game must have: enemies,ways to lose, and an objective
interactive drawing game- make a drawing game and have sprites that can move react with colours that are drawn by the user.
Hard {involves more complicated programming with many sprites and many variables}
Platform game- similar to super mario this game must have: gravity which may or may not include acceleration, but must have gravity, platforms that a sprite can stand on, deathtraps,enemies,different rooms, and an objective
Shooter game-make a sprite that can shoot objects at enemies to score points. Whatever the bullet sprite is it must return to the player after being shot so that the player can shoot multiple times, this preferable has a script to increase difficulty. This can be integrated with a platform game
Role Playing Game- Probably the most complex of all in this game a player must defeat monsters using a battle system that involves at least: Attack Points, defense Points, Health Points, Magic Points, and preferably gold or money, experience and levels and any other things that can go into the formula of taking damage. This can or can not be turn based and game play involves the player adventuring and attacking monsters and the monsters take damage based on the battle formula that has attack points defense points ect.

During this term we are going to learn how to create flat and relational databases.
The assessment policy for the first term is: Average of all tests and projects = 80% Classwork = 20%
Important: Marks will be adjusted up or down depending on attitude and effort!(+-20%)
It is recommended to have installed Microsoft Office 2003 (English version) to work at home, as it is the one we use at school. Some time during the year we will change to OpenOffice, but don't know when yet. Anyway, don't forget you have access to the computer room every day during the lunch break to work on the subject.
I hope you will all enjoy my subject!

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
This blog aims to inform both the students of S2 and their parents about: exam dates, marks, project deadlines and topics covered during the ICT lessons.
I hope that by making use of the advantages offered by new technologies, including those of this blog, we can improve communication; not only between students and teacher, but with their parents too.
