Coding is very hard. Coding is very very hard. I have created a game from "Scratch" though, in "Scratch". Now I'm not saying my game is going to be the next Mario. I personally like my game even though it has a lot of bugs. I just couldn't figure out how to get the frogs to stop moving when the knight did. Not a lot of people played my game to give me feedback to improve. I tried to make it like a game where you had to chase a bunch of frogs running away, so that's why their movements are random. Their movements aren't random though. They move according to how you move the knight, but they don't all move the same way.
I definitely got better at coding the second time. I don't know everything there is to know about code, but I did get better. Now I actually know what most of the blocks do, achievement accomplished! I still have some bugs in my second game, like how you automatically lose sometimes when you start. I just figured out you can just press the flag twice though. I haven't yet figured out how to fix it, but I probably will... Eventually. Also, you might have noticed that after you lose all of the characters stop. Unlike my first game. I also have a preset timer in the first game, but a variable timer in the second. For those of you who have no clue of what I'm talking about here is a link to help you.The best code I wrote was the crabs code in the second game. His code is all one giant block, with C Blocks inside of C Blocks inside of more code and more code. The last part of the code, with the purple and yellow blocks repeating, is my party room. You can get there by beating the bonus level of my game. How I made it was I had a lot of different backgrounds, that are filled with only one color, and switching them every 0.01 seconds. I still have some pretty big bugs I still need to fix, but I had a lot more than I had before. I overcame my most difficult bug fixes by asking the people around me. I mainly just viewed other peoples games in progress and if I saw something that I could incorporate in my game I asked them how they did it.
I really like the idea of the game, Having the main sprite chasing other sprites is a great idea. There are a few bugs, I think maybe you could make the knight move a little smoother. I like that the knight says "yummy frogs" every time you would catch the frog, good details!
ReplyDeleteYour chase game is creative because of the sprites you use. Though it seems as if the knight is delayed and when you play the frog's just start to disappear even if the knight didn't get them. Overall great game and it's really fun.
ReplyDeleteHey Hershel! Awesome game! I really like how the Knight is chasing the evil frogs across a field because that is a place where frogs actually live so it makes sense. One thing I would change would be to end the game and having the timer stop. You can do this by adding on the "end all" block on the end of your actions (here is a link if you need more info: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/19574/). Another thing I enjoyed was how you had to work extra hard to get the frogs and score points. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI like your game. The concept is really cool. I like the chasing instead of being chased. I can't really find much to fix, but like others said, you definitely should stop the timer. Otherwise, great game. Keep up the awesome work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome platform game! The ending stage is fabulous. One thing I would try to work on is the glitch in the beginning. Every other time I play it it starts off with, "Oh no bro! Ya slipped and fell!" Maybe you can review how to use say blocks? ( http://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Say_()_(block) ) Other than that, I really like how you added a bonus level, it was really creative.
ReplyDeleteYour platformer is really cool and I like the party. But at the end, it could cause seizures, and sometimes it randomly put me in the acid. Nice game though, good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on your platform game Hershies! I really like how your game is challenging and it has really skinny platforms!
ReplyDeleteI know there are a couple bugs like pressing the flag twice or immediately dying in the begginng sometimes but it's still a great game, I actually almost made it to the crab! I though the sprite characters you schose were really unique and eye catching.
