Lab B Status Report 2




Accomplished This week:

  • Familiarization report was compiled and presented
  • Log books were used to record essential information
  • Groups discussed the impact of the presentations and how to incorporate the attained information from the Familiarization reports
  • Teams continued to study their assigned cognitive abilities and finding ways to incorporate the ideas into a game
  • Functionality report has been subdivided and assigned to members
  • Members spent many hours familiarizing themselves with the Game maker software


To be Accomplished next week:

  • Team meeting will take place Friday March 19th to finalize the theme of the game
  • Functionality report will be compiled and completed right on schedule
  • Game design and production will begin
  • Begin designing and coding levels
  • Team will begin preparing instructions for use as their contribution to the design transfer package
  • Tentative: Prepare testing packages


Notes:

  • Familiarization Presentations went smooth with minimal repetition of the content
  • The team appreciates the due date extension that was given
  • Several concerns regarding game maker 8.0 and it's lack of ability to function on UNIX based systems were ignored as the mustard seed computers are equipped with Windows.
  • Game maker programing language is not C++ which may prove to be challenging to work with at higher levels


Common questions:

    Does anybody know where to find basic instructions on coding for game maker?

    Does anybody know how to link rooms in game maker?
