Scratch Game Design

                                           All of my Games



 In are most resent project in GT we were making a chase game that when you share your game then anyone can play it. In my experience with creating this chase game I was inspired by my classmates and research. My classmates helped me with finding information and seeing what I needed to fix. I also did a lot of research in my free time and by playing other similar games. The reason I decided to create this ocean theme chase game was because I love the ocean and I live in an area where I go to the beach almost everyday.


 In this chase game I used three different water theme backgrounds for my sprits. I chose these background because the ocean is part of my life so thats why I did a Ocean theme background. My sprits I used was a small pink starfish and a blue shark. The starfish is the on being chased by the shark so it was sort of hard to make the starfish arrow keys to move right. Also it was my first game I made and so I improved a lot in this game. In my Platformer game we had to make different levels so my game was simple. For my platformer game I only had two levels no more because I felt like I didn't have that much more time for my first time. For my last game It was called freedom and we could do what ever we wanted to do but it had to have the expectations to get a good grade.


 My best code was the part with the arrow keys. The arrow keys was my best code because It was the best piece of code I did. Another good code I think I did good was switching the backgrounds and the timer so the game would be funner. I made some parts hard because I wanted to give people a challenging time, so when they do this kind of game again it will be easier for there next time doing it. I first had a lot of bugs that I had to fix because it was my very first time doing it. Some bugs were in my game so to fix that I search or researched to find a solution for it. I also watched some tutorial videos to help me with my game so that it would be bug free. If you want to see more of these games go to scratch.

 My teams main goal for this project was to finish it as fast as we could. Some of are other goals were to make sure that the ice cream in are video would over flow, also the ice cream had to make it out of the box or container. Another main goal we had was the audio in the first scene because we were going to add the music but other people's voices was in it. I was the one who filmed the most and Sophia was the helper with the models. Shaday was the one who helped with the setting.

 One of are best team moments was the ice cream over flowing. The ice cream over flowing was the best moment of this group project because we had to try many different things to make it over flow completely. We tried a lot of things like 1/3cup of vinegar and baking soda. Then we tried soup, vinegar and baking soda. then it finally over flowed. After it over flowed it almost fell off the table, so we had to clean the mess up.

 During the editing production part Shaday did the part to put in the Shots from are film. Sophia did the most with the transitions. I did most of the sounds so it wasn't to loud or to soft. We all did the listening part to see and hear the video, so it was good. Shaday was the one to do the part of putting in the shots because she has done it a lot of times in 6th grade and part of 7th grade. Sophia was the one to do the transitions because she has a great sense of taste for transitions in the editing production time. I was the one to do sounds because i'm sort of good with sounds because I have lot of noise in my house during the day.

Composition Scavenger Hunt

 The most important composition technique I think was the parts of a whole. I think it was the most important because it was a piece of something so it makes the picture mysteries. Also the parts of a whole picture makes you want to know what the whole picture is. In a day you might see a piece of a whole picture and wonder what it is. The parts of a whole makes you feel excited in many different ways, like imagination, curiosity, and surprised.

 The most difficult composition technique is Extreme Close - Up. I think it is the hardest because you need to get it focused good or it will turn out blurry. Also I think the Extreme Close - Up is hard if you are taking a picture of a moving or living object. The other techniques are easy because they don't have very close pictures or images, but the Parts of a whole is almost like the Extreme Close - Up. The  Extreme Close - Up pictures are a good way to learn to make blurry pictures turn into good pictures.

 For my group project I have Sophia and Shaday. In the composition project Shaday did the audio and the person who videoed the most was Sophia. I was the one that was in the video the most. Sophia and Shaday are both in seventh grade and they are both funny and smart. Shaday has long dark brown hair and Sophia has long brown hair. When we were editing I did transition and Sophia did most of the editing. Shaday did the titles and I wrote the names on the titles. We all did the music and we laughed at some of the music. It was a good project to work in groups.
