ASA 2021 ONLINE STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

I created a game using Scratch.mit.edu. With the process of watching Tutorials and reading guides, I was able to create my game with the given class time.

WHY?

I did this project because I was genuinely interested in what I was doing. I got more invested into the project as soon as I saw progress as I liked what I was creating. I also created it to learn how to code using Scratch.

HOW?

I created my project by initially reading and watching tutorials and guides. After I watched a couple of guides, I started working on designing sprites for my game and working on the initial code.

WHAT?

I found out that coding can be much simpler when it is in block formats. This is an easier way of manually typing out code for a beginner such as myself and helped me create code with much more ease. My prototype worked for the most part successfully as my game worked and I was pleased with the results despite there being a few minor bugs.

SO WHAT?

My results are important because it shows that despite all the hard work you put into something, it will never end up the way you expect it. My game had a few bugs which I was never able to fix despite my attempt to do so. Because of this, I ended up using this bug as an actual mechanic of my game.

WHAT'S NEXT?

If I could extend my project, I'd attempt to make more levels and create selectable characters. This would improve my project as it would increase longevity when playing and customization and selection choices for the audience and player base. The next step forward would definitely be more levels.

REFERENCES/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many of my ideas came from Scratch themselves. They have tutorials in their site which I ended up using while I also watched some YouTube videos. I also got help from similar Scratch games to help and attempt to fix my aforementioned bugs.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

I love the design of the main character and the tall blue towers that must be navigated. Your narration on the video was sharp and showed how much work programming a game can take. I would have loved to have heard the sounds in the video, as it's impossible to hear "this is the death sound" and not wonder what that sounds like! The graphics on your presentation are sharp and cogent, and show the work that you put in.
