Scratch Games Reflection

1:

  • The most fun game I played was "Whack-a-Cat" by JCote13
  • The most difficult game was "Not-so mortal Combat.EXE" by KSchumann
  • The most creative game I played was "Game 4 You" by bgauthier48
2: The game I am writing about is "Maze Game" by MWCapone. Michael made mazes whereas I made a platformer. I would add music to his game to make is more appealing. Instead of sprites for the mazes, backdrops could have been used instead. The time lengths could have also been changed for a different experience.

Final Scratch Project

Here is the link and the embedded game:

Planet Platformer


          Truthfully, this idea of mine was completely random as I had no idea what do to, so I just began without much thought. At first, I knew I would need some form of increasing difficulty so I used different planets, and I then made the backdrops and sprites. Most of the challenges occurred in the early stages of development, where I was still figuring out how I would make a walking animation and randomly spawning obstacles. However, once I completed the first random obstacle, they all became much easier, just involving making clones at different positions and programming the clones. The smooth walking animation was also much easier than I thought it would be too. I tested this game by going through my levels and seeing if they loaded properly, if the objects appeared correctly, and if my costume changes were working. Nothing much beyond those topics. I am most proud of how I actually managed to pull off this idea and how well it turned out. However, I am disappointed by the fact that I did not have time to make more planets. In the end, creating this game was an enjoyable experience.
