Final Reflection

This project was more challenging for me.  Having never used scratch, the idea of creating a game was a whole new concept to me.  My original idea was not working out for me, so after some trial and error runs that continued to operate different that I wanted, I decided to switch up my game.  Originally, I wanted to do a maze, but I wanted to use snowflakes to go around instead of the blocks.  A big frustration with this was my sprite, Anna from Frozen, was not moving with the arrows like I had programed her to.  Instead of wasting anymore time simply getting annoyed, I decided to redo my plan for the game.  While I stuck with the Frozen theme, my layout was completely different.  In level one, I made the player build Olaf the snowman.  In this, I had to break a picture apart into pieces and cut it up perfectly so that it would nicely fit together in the end.  This worked a lot better than the maze type of game I had started.  Since that was level one, I made it sort of easy.  I decided all you would have to do is click on the piece, and it would build itself.  I also added directions as you go, making the game easier to understand.  The next level was more challenging because you only have a minute to click on as many snowflakes as you can.  While this sounds super easy, I made sure the snowflakes were moving pretty fast to incorporate more of a challenge.  After every step I made, I hit the green flag and stimulated playing the game to make sure everything was going smoothly as planned.  If something did not work correctly, I would immediately delete it and try something else, or try to find an error with my script.  After a few changes to my first layout and some de-bugging along the way, my game turned out exactly as I envisioned it.  I am most proud of the fact that I uploaded other images, rather than the ones provided in the scratch library because I feel this makes my game more unique.  Also, I love the movie Frozen, so it made this experience more exciting for me.  I am, disappointed there are only two levels, but seeing as we had limited time to create this game, I believe it turned out fantastic!!!

Final Project Planning

The purpose is to get sprites from starting location to finish location. I think it will be a Frozen theme and I will try to get Anna to the Ice Castle to find her sister. I will use the sprites Anna and Elsa. I might also include a Kristoff and an Olaf. My background will be an ice castle. The scoring will work by staring with 50 points. Every time a spirit touches an obstacle, they will lose 10 points. They should try to get to the finish with the most possible points. At the end they will also gain 50 points. You win by finding Queen Elsa. When you win the background will change and a sound will turn on. I will have to levels. Another level might be building a snowman like Olaf. I will increase the difficulty by subtracting a lot of points for clicking on the wrong things. I will accomplish this by changing the scoring system.

Description of 2 classmates alphabet games

Jaime's alphabet game jumped around to different letters unlike mine that went in the order of the alphabet. Just like my theme, her theme was animals whose names correspond with the letters of the alphabet. Jona's alphabet game had a theme of "things she likes."
