Day one
hey guys I’ve gotten started on my inquiry it’s about coding games so now you know what’s about my inquiry journal. I had a huge problem in my glacier run game it wouldn’t do what I wanted it to do, the whole screen moved when I needed the character to move. So I moved on to another game called circle wars it was a lot easier to make but more challenging to play but there is always that little problem when ever I started the game is always said defeat and stopped the game I had to rework the programming of the game so it didn’t stop when the game started.
Day two
On Saturday I finished my game that I made it’s called gold miner it’s based on the Yukon territories’s gold rush where you move a gold miner through a cave and collect all the gold. It’s a pretty simple game you move the miner with the arrow keys. But if you don’t know what to do you lose. I’ve got an animation ready too I’ve animated my name with colours size changes and sound. And an update on circle wars nobody can beat it except it’s creator. Some problems with gold miner when it started it stopped I didn’t realised it until I remade the background.
Day three
On Sunday I finished a game called rent collect. I think in this one the tells what to do in the game. You move a rent collector to the yellow rectangles witch are cheques and when you touch them you collect them. You move the rent collector with the arrow keys there are three floors to the game. It was really hard to make the you win come up first it was to small then the rent collector was to big. I’ve made a game called ping pong where you have to get as many points as you can without losing. You move by moving the mouse.
Day four
So I’m going to tell you how I learned how code like a pro. I had a book on how to code games so I tried how to make a game called star hunter and the game was pretty successful so that is how I learned how to code. I learned how to make circle wars from the book. I learned how to make an animation on the website where there is a question mark I clicked the button and there were so many options. I chose the second one and that’s where I learned how to make an animation(that’s where I made ping pong).
Day five
So I got a new animation game like thing it’s where there is a taco and a cat and they are flying through a city. You move the up and the down arrow keys. But in the taco it is opposite up is down and down is up so you can make a cat and taco crossover. Something that was hard to do in my cat and taco crossover is to make a trail of orange behind the cat in the taco the trail was already there so I didn’t have to do any thing to make a trail. I am also exited for the inquiry fair on Tuesday.
Day six
So I have finished up a PowerPoint slides where I explain what is coding and a basic way of moving the cat on scratch. A update on the inquiry fair it is on Wednesday not Tuesday Wednesday. Something hard about making the slides was that giving the information on the slide. My favorite part about the inquiry fair is seeing everyone’s projects. The hardest game to make was circle wars because the blue circle kept stopping and it has to be the best to watch people play because it is unbeatable.
