With now having 3 basic games down and understanding the general tools of game maker we where told to add to one of he preexisting games we had already made. For this project we had to add a reward for the players to feel like they are earning something when they play. Add 2 forms of control for the players so they don't feel like they are sticking to a linear path so they can feel like they are more in control. And finally we had to add 2 new challenges to add a level of difficulty to a very basic and easy game. With all of these additions we made essentially our first game that we didn't necessarily use a tutorial for. Over all I did well I enjoyed doing the project. I added lives into the game as well and a moon that when you collide with it you gain points for my rewards. I added a feature so the player could slow or speed up the ship so they player could have more control over their ship. And finally I added 2 types of alien spaceships that shoot different lasers that are large and slow or small and fast.

Over the past week we all had lots of work to do and out teacher wasn't necessarily always availabler to help us. So it was up to us to be productive by our selfs and get our work done. So this past week I was working on Lazarus which is a game that has you play a blob and is trying to escape this factory but the only way is by building a path using blocks that fall above Lazarus to reach a button and then proceed to the next level. Over all the game was pretty hard to code just because of all the items we had to add to each object and how slow you have to go to make sure everything is perfect. This showed up when I was doing the collisions of the falling boxes because there are 4 different types of blocks and there is 1 that breaks 3 other, 1 that breaks 2 other and, 1 that breaks only 1. Also this week I got to understand "if" and "else" statements when we're coding which makes life so much easier when you want to detection if something is there and if it is you do X else you do Y. Overall I thought I did pretty good about staying on task and getting my work done this week.
