Game Designing

Today we began by making more of the game we are required to make for assignment three. I began by setting up more sprites and power ups to be included in the game. I then set up the first power up which is stealth. by changing the looks of the character using the change sprite tool. I then used code to make so that after 20 seconds the power up wears off and the sprite changes back to it's original state. I feel that at first the task was relatively simple until I had to make the effects of the power up wear off at that point I struggled because I had to use code and I am not very good at coding.

I then moved on to adding the extra life power up into the game by creating a sprite and object to be included in the game. I then used the set lives tool and made so that when the character collides with the power up it gains an extra life. I struggled with this at first because the lives would not increase and so I had to use YouTube tutorials in order to find the correct method of adding an extra life to the game.

I need help with making sprites objects disappear but then reappear after a certain time. The alarm techniques seems very complicated and so I will probably have to use code although I find coding hard so I will probably require assistance at some point.

Overall today was a very average day because I got as much work as I could done although I will probably need an extension because I was away yesterday. The positives of today was the amount of sprites and objects I added to the game. I also got them to function well within the game by testing it. The negatives of today were that I still have lots of work to do on my game and I keep having muscle injuries within my left leg which the hospital need to look at when they can.
