Today is submission for assignment two. I have nearly done finished it off so I will do that later tonight. All I have left is a little on my report and I need to add in my storyboard. I will also proof read my work so I know it is alright then I will submit it all.
I started off working on my report what was quite confusing at the start but then I worked out how to do it and I managed to finish it. I will add a little more detail and proof read it to make sure. I also added in some more information into my data type table.
Then I started working on my game. I did some more research into the camera bug then I finally found a fix. I had wrote in some of the information wrong so now it works properly. I also managed to make moving enemies and spikes that kill you when you fall on them. I am happy with my progress with my game so far and I will start to make up the game on Monday.

Quiz!
Today we started off with the quiz. This quiz was designed by Billy as he had lost the week before. The video we were watching was about a games designer who before wanted to be an English teacher. I managed to get 7.5 / 10 however I did not come first but at least the usual people did not win. Next week the quiz is being made by Chris as he came last.
After that we moved on with working on our design log as that is due in tomorrow. I have nearly finished the design log. I only have to write the report so I will do that tomorrow morning then I will send it off.
Then I started work on my game. My main aim today was to make the player move left and right and try to fix the shaking camera. I managed to add in the characters moving left and right so now when I press the direction it changes to look there. At the start it did not work but in the end I managed to get it to work. I did not fix the screen shaking thing so I have left it for now and I will try to work it out tomorrow. I made the spike asset as well so I will make it reset the game tomorrow as well.

Designing the game!
Today's main aim was to start designing our game. I had a little bit to do on my design log then I could start designing my game on GameMaker.
I started off adding more information into my design log. I had to write the pseudocode what I do not like to do at all. I only needed to write a little bit of code so it was fine. I managed to finish the code quite quickly so I could start working on my game.
I did not start designing my game straight away as I wanted to get some more practice in. I had followed a guide for the code so I could write the pseudocode and have my player moving on the level. I finished the tutorial and I understood more so I started to work on my game.
Then I worked on my game design what was quite confusing at the start. This is because the assets were quite blurry and they did not fit on the screen properly. I fixed the blurry assets by changing a setting so it worked fine now. I set up a view so the camera could easily follow the player around. This is so it is easier to understand where you are and it is more interesting when you are walking around.
Overall I am happy with my progress today and I hopefully will get some more done on Thursday. Tomorrow I will design the asset for the spikes so there is a way to die. Also I will look for how to get the enemies so they can kill you and move around.

Assignment two
We started off today refreshing our mind on pseudocode. I do not like pseudocode and I was hoping that we did not have to do anymore pseudocode however we need to for the game design. I do not like pseudocode however I do understand it so it is not so bad. We did some simple pseudocode just to refresh our memories just in case we have forgotten.
After that we had to do our personal development plan for this week. This is a weekly task for unit one and we have to do it for assignment three. We have to make some SMART targets to work for and I have managed to do two out of my three targets this week.
Then we worked on assignment two. I started off working on my storyboard as I did not finish all of it before. I managed to finish that and went over it in pen so it is better to photocopy in. This is so I can add it into my design log. After that I worked on my design log some more and added in more detail and wrote out the action list.
