Arcade

Purpose: The purpose of the arcade project is to connect the digital world with the real world through programming and woodworking.

Entry 1

I created a monster racer game on MakeCode Arcade, to practice block coding. here is the screenshot proof.

Entry 2

I measured the side lengths of the arcade machine, and made a cut map to make sure we had enough plywood to make our own.

Here is the cut map!

Entry 3

I finished the hardest skillmap to hone in my coding skills, and make sure I'm ready to start making my own game.

Entry 4

I played three tutorials, Chase the pizza, Lemon leak, and barrel dodger. I combined the first two into my own game where you have to dodge strawberries and eat pizza.

Entry 5

I filled out a Quick Feedback Form to improve my game and get helpful feedback from my peers.

Entry 6

I'm helping to construct our arcade machine by screwing the boards together and securing them. not actually doing that in this picture, but I did.

Entry 7

I filled out a Drafting Sheet to plan out my final game, plus i got to draw cute popcorn, so bonus!

Entry 8

I made good progress on my final game, but never got to finish it because I was sick. I did get really close, and am proud of what I did get. I changed my idea to a tower defense game, and managed to program a second player too.

Describe the final results: I think I did really well, even If I didn't get a chance to finish because of a stomach bug. the coding was really fun, and I think my movie theater-food tower defense was pretty original.

What do you know now that you didn't know when you started this project?: I know that coding takes real practice, and that even the simplest of games require a lot of intricate coding.

What advice would you give to future students about this project?: Pay attention to what the tutorials and tips are telling you, they can be really helpful. I ignored them at first, got really confused, but I went back and looked at them again, and felt a lot more confident.

What else would you like to try that you didn't have time for?: Definitely finishing my game, I would have really wanted to see how the final product turned out.

What proof do you have that shows you learned the project’s purpose?: I played a good part in the construction of the arcade itself, and even if I didn't finish my own game, I know I helped my friends out with theirs.
