December 12

Today I worked on my code a tiny bit and watched YouTube videos :P

December 11

I pretty much did nothing today except work on the cipher a little bit and watch gaming videos on YouTube.

December 9

I worked on my code a tiny bit today, and I'm trying the new challenge and I have NOOO IDEA what to do.

December 2nd

Worked on my game code, I’m still working on getting the enemy to disappear from the screen properly, and it doesn’t seem to be working.

November 28th

Today I figured out the code!!!

Do the difficult things while they are easy and the great things while they are small.

Also working more on my code, I've managed to create the function that makes the enemy die (the one I have anyway) now I'm working on the function to make sure it stops drawing it to the screen when he dies.

November 25

Today we worked on cracking a code that Mr.Thing had wrote for us, I'm at the point where I've decoded it to "May the force be with you" and am working on decoding it further.

November 21

Today I got the hit boxes done for the player and the items (the items I'm just playing around with to get the health addition right) then I'm going to get the constant movement going. Also working on sprites and enemies and such.

Celebration post!!!!

My code just hit 200 lines!! (206 to be exact) I am celebrating this milestone with this adorable picture, enjoy!

November 20th

Working on my code more, I got the health working good, it decreases and increases as needed, now I need to work on the player hit boxes and constant player movement!

November 19th

Working on my code today, I decided on a background image which looks awesome, I also got the player restriction border done and I'm working on repeating a key input so the players character can continuously move while the button is being held down.

November 18th

I worked a bit more on my code today, of course. I made it so that when I press the right arrow key, the player faces that direction, and I've also been working on the background and the enemy sprites, so far I've done a bat.

November 17th

Worked more on the audio files and I'm pretty sure I got the sound to work, not sure, I will see tomorrow when I have audio.

November 17th

Working on uploading some sounds to the library and the code today, testing them out to see if I can get them to work on a certain key.

I got the file to play the sound when the game opened now all I need to do is assign it to my variable so it plays when the key is pressed.

November 14th

Playing around with the code again, found out how to put a bit of restriction on player movement and put a border on one side of the screen.

I'm also working on making the animation for the sprites for walking and being idle and stuff.

November 13th

Worked on my code today, playing around with moving a little green rectangle and the size and stuff.

Digital story

My digital story starts out with a little console called the Atari 2600

My dad had an Atari when I was little, maybe about 4 or 5 and I had played all the classic games on it such as pac man, frogger, pong, and such. This is where I started to really like video games.

The next console my dad bought was the sega genesis, but as having two rambunctious and curious children would bring, it didn't last very long.

The next console I got was the nintendo Gamecube!

The one game I remember having for the Gamecube was Star Fox Adventures. SFA Was my ultimate childhood game, as a matter of fact, I still have it, and I still play it! It's an amazing game that combines adventure, puzzles, and battle strategies, and I will never get tired of it.

The next console I had as a kid, was the PS1. I loved playing the PS1, it was my favourite console at the time! That is of course, until we got a PS2 and I discovered a game called Kingdom hearts. I've been playing Kingdom Hearts for years now and I still absolutely love the game. The graphics are amazing the story line is fun and the characters are all loveable, even the heartless! I mean those things are effing adorable!Another game I like to play on the PS2 is Rock band. I've been playing rockband for 5 or 6 years and I can play almost any song on expert.

We then got an Xbox 360. That console I wasn't into as much as the PS2 but I still played things like left for dead and a lot of zombie games.

When the PS3 came out I wasn't too interested because I had my PS2 and my favourite games, but then Resident evil 6 came out and I was ecstatic to know that my dad had gotten it, of course, I get my love of resident evil from him.

Then you know there's all the odds and ends like the gameboy (of which I never had) the Ds, Dsi (both of which I have) and such, but that's about it! That is a snippit of my digital story, if I were to go into details then well... most people would call that a game play recap.

I think by far, my favourite console(s) are the PS2 and the PS3. I have gotten used to the design of the controller and the consoles themselves are just awesome.

Also, no pictures because this thing doesn't like pictures.
