Today is a half day and it is our final day before the holidays. We started off doing a Christmas quiz about Christmas movies. I do not watch Christmas movies so I had no clue on most of the films. In the end I got 4/10 what was ok as most of the people got 4 or 5.
Next I moved onto my game. I managed to finish the first level and I have started working the second level. I also worked on a background however it did not fit in with the game and it made it harder to see. I was having a bug with the enemies going through the platforms so I managed to fix that. The problem was that I did not add the collision with those items.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

More game development
I started off today working on my instruction screen. I needed to import this into Game Maker then edit around it so it looks good. This took me quite a bit of time as the magic wand once again missed quite a lot so I was rubbing out the white parts. I managed to do this and then add in the button for the help menu and it all works fine now.
After that I worked on enemies so they killed me and they bounced off the walls. I had a problem as they just fell off so I had to make an invisible wall so they did not disappear. Now the enemies also kill you and send you back to the start of the current room.
I also started to design my levels. I have managed to do half of level one and I will finish off the rest of the levels on Thursday. I also set up the power up so you can now have a jump boost in the game. I have not made it for the character to change so I will try that on Thursday.

More game designing!
We started off today updating our personal development plans. I had managed to finish most of my goals however I just need to finish off my work and resubmit that. I also have been proof reading my work so hopefully I have less grammar issues. My goal for this week is to get my work sent back and have my enemies working better.
After that I moved onto working on my enemies. I had some issues with them before so I redesigned the code so they worked better however I just need to sort out the speed and they make the player go back to the start. This will not take too long so I will finish it tomorrow.
Then I worked on my start and help screens. These were quite time consuming however in the end I managed to do it. The magic wand tool in Game Maker left quite a bit of white blocks so I had to manually rub out them for the start menu. I have not yet added in the help section as I only finished it before break. Tomorrow I will add in the help menu and start to design some of my levels.
I am happy with my progress today and I will hopefully manage to make the first level tomorrow. Hopefully all the enemies will work correctly and send the player back to the start as well.

Friday!
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.
