Adding Sound

Adding sound I think is one of the easiest things to do. All you have to do is create a new keyframe and insert a second layer to it and put the sound in it. It sounds difficult but is very easy once you learn it. This has definitely taught me a lot more things about adding sound and putting it into my game!

Adding Input II: Mouse

Adding Input II: Mouse was very confusing because it had a lot of the same things as adding animation but we had to deal with seperate scenes and buttons which wasn't very easy. It took me a while to get it done becaus the code was incorrect. When it comes to coding the smallest things whether it is one letter or number or symbol can ruin the whole code. That's what made this tutorial so difficult. I used a basketball and a basketball rim in this tutorial and you had to drag the ball into the hoop. I hope to add this into my final game!

Adding input I: Keyboard

Adding Input I: keyboard was a new experience for me because I did not use it in my game last year. The keyboarding is going to be the most important thing in my game this year. In ModStory you have to fly the character around the screen to correct grammar and punctuation errors. I created a fish swimming in the ocean for this tutorial. It came out very well but struggled making it. If you hit the up arrow it would go the opposite direction but was soon fixed.

Adding Animation

Adding Animation was a little difficult because this is the stage where you start working with frames and movie clips. It also has a tiny bit of coding in it. In my opinion, adding animation is very difficult. It might just be me but I have a hard time working with frames and movie clips. This tutorial helped me out a lot because i'm hoping to add a good amount of animation to my game!

Drawing a Scene

Drawing a Scene was very easy this time because I am very used to the tools to create a drawing in a scene. I use the paint tool the most because it is works the best and automatically straightensd out the lines. I used drawing a scene tutorial to create the main menu in my game. I also used it to create a bookshelf that holds different difficulty books. This is new in my game this year is by having a  difficulty selection.

Adding a Scene

Adding a Scene was not that hard this year since I did it last year and new what I was doing. I added the main menu, about menu, and help menu. I also did the Adding Buttons tutorial while I did adding a scene. It worked ou really well. Now I can navigate through all the menus with a few simple buttons.

Game Time

     Right now in my game I am making all of the scenes and editing them. I am going to add actions and add animations later after I get all of the scenes done. I have kind of hit a detour because I cannot decide whether I want to use drag and drop or the keyboard. I am also having trouble with all of the coding. I think the most exciting thing about my game is hopefully I'll have it to where you can create your own story. Hopefully each player will have a different outcome at the end of the game. The most difficult part in my game is having it cutomizable by other players. I will need help in coding this feature in my game. So far I have not changed anything in my game from my paper prototype but I'm sure I will change some things.
