reflection

• Using Scratch and a Computer, We created a platformer game that has 2 players because it seemed like an interesting concept, and quite a challenge. Having to play with two seperate players instead of one was a good concept for a game, and gave ideas for some unique level designs. It was also a challenge to make due to having to create code that gave characters gravity.

• During this process, I learned how to give a scratch sprite gravity. I had to give the floor a certain color, and then I had to make the character fall, while making it fall faster, replicating gravity. I then had to make it so it didn't keep falling when it touched the ground, hence the floor being a certain color, so it is easier to place into the code.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative designer because we took the idea of a two player platformer, which has been made before, and added our own spin on it. We added unique characters, a portal mechanic, and a fun boss battle at the end.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was creating level ideas. We wanted the game to include at least 10 levels, and we had to come up with different mechanics for levels. I was able to do it by working with my partner to come up with different level and mechanic ideas.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would fix most of the bugs in the game. The game had a lot of bugs in it, which made the game really easy to cheat in most cases. The reason why I would change it is because I want to make the game actually challenging, and not just allow players to glitch right through a level.
