Tuesday

Today we got to learn about fonts. This was quite interesting because I never knew there was so much about a font. There are several different parts to fonts such as the serif and the x height. Also I did not know how much fonts had changed over time. For example the old English writing is a lot different to the current types of fonts what are around.

Also today we played a game like pictonary. For the first round we had 10 seconds to draw a  picture of the word Adam told us. For example the first was to draw a cat. My first attempt did not work at all. We had 8 words to draw for the first round and 8 words again for the second round. For the second round we had 20 seconds to draw so we could get into some detail with the pictures. This was fun to do and it helped me work out different ways you can represent things.

After that we got to start to develop some ideas for making a game. We need to get 5 ideas down before we move onto the next stage what is knock it down to 3 games then 1 game. At the moment my favorite idea is a platformer where you have to collect artifacts to escape the jungle. One of the power ups would be a temporary speed boost what would be acquired from one of the artifacts.

This has been a fun day today and I will finish off all the game ideas tomorrow.
