Handing in day!!!

After thorough testing and de-bugging I have recently done, I re-checked my documents, and am satisfied it is ready to hand in, after finding the game works as expected, no glitches. I am pleased with my final product, and am glad the assessment is finished.

Game Progression

I've finished my game, and today I worked on problems, which I have now fixed... so overall quite a successful day, now I need to plan programming, and do some testing, before collaborating all the paperwork and handing it in on the 14th of September.

Game

Today i finished making the game, without the problems the game is complete! So now I need to go back over everything, do a bit of testing, and fix my problems :/

Game

A few days ago I realized how little time I had left, and decided to down size my game, from having 7 levels to having 5 levels. I still need to test the program and finish the program planning, and I still need to actually finish programming the game... in less than 2 weeks...
Today I worked on my game once again.

Planning Programming

Today I forgot my USB stick and therefore did not have the updated version of my game, so instead I worked on the program planning which i had not modified since i copied it to the school's hard drive, as i have not finished it yet because i wasn't sure of what blocks/actions were available.
Also, we met our new IS teacher from EIT, Mr York, who will take out class for until Mr MacRaghnaill returns.

Game

Yesterday (13/08/2012) I forgot to blog and didn't leave time for it, so I am doing it now. I worked on my game, fixing a few problems and doing some more coding.

Game

Today I worked on my game and added another problem to my 'problems occurred whilst programming'.

Game / Problems Occurred Whilst Programming

Yesterday I was so intent on the game, and I forgot to blog, so i am blogging now.
I decided to create a new document for problems that occur during the programming. I also worked on my program so more and made level 3.

Game

Again, once again, I worked on my game. Now I have made the second level and got the timer to work, and also I got the sprites in the first level to go back to their original spot if they were matched incorrectly :)

Game

Today I did some more work on my game.... i know i should make a test plan and finish the program planning, but i find it difficult when i don't know what blocks i have available.... maybe i'll start on it later....

Game progression

Today i worked on my game again... here is a screen shot of the first level.

Today I did some more programming, and finally got my Dog sprite to work, and then a accidentally deleted it by dragging the wrong way.... now i have to reconstruct it all over again :(

BYOB work

Today in class I did some work on my BYOB game, just having a look, seeing what I can use/do, so maybe soon I can move back to the program planning, finish it and then test it. I know that is not quite correct, but i thought once i had a good idea of how i COULD program it i would revisit the planning part :)

I started programming the game

I started programming the game.... and i think i may have an idea on how to change levels :)

Finished Planning....?

I think I sort of finished my planning, because I am not sure how to get the game to switch from one level to the next when all the pictures/words are correctly matched.... so I am making the sprites for now and I can think about how the levels change.

Flow chart :( / Templates :)

Because we had a short class time (reason: assembly) I didn't have much time (approx. 35mins) and so I had a look at flowchart symbols, and wondered whether I should make a flowchart for my game, for the program planning component. It would've taken a very long time so i decided not to.
I worked on my templates and cropped them to make them look nicer.

Program Planning

Today I did some more program planning, i think i am nearly finished, so tomorrow I will just check it over and maybe do a bit of testing.

Algorithm/Program Planning

Today I worked again on program planning and I think what i need to do has become a lot clearer. Already I have finished some algorithms, and when I re-read them i noticed some errors, so I suppose my testing has already begun.

Hopefully I can finish planning the algorithms by the end of this week, and then I need to move onto the next task, according to my Gantt project planner. I think that is an achievable goal.

Program Planning

Today I started my program planning, and looked back over my Gantt project and the Brief. I think I am on track, and will be able to finish the program planning by the end of the week, then I can test it as much as someone can test a plan in Word.
