Evaluation

I think my game is fun but simple.  If I had more time, I would probably fix the smiley face and make it fall and touch the basket rather than disappear half way through.  I also would have wanted to make my basket change sizes.  At lunch time I tried to fix it but as I moved the basket it changed sizes every second, making my game confusing. 

I think my game has strengths for example:  I have variables labeled score and lives. I put the "change the score by 1". After the basket collected an apple, then it would add 1 to the score.  I did the same for "lives" except It's subtracting 1 each time if it hits the smiley face. Furthermore I think my game is eye-catching and colourful.  This entices people to view my blog and want to play my game.  I blogged about my home screen which explains how to play.   Lastly I tried to include sounds for example a cymbal crash would be when you touched the smiley face and the drum buzz was when you collected a piece of fruit.

Testing (showing evidence)

 

Test 1:  The game must have clear instructions for the user
My game is simple but fun to play .




 







Test 2: The game must be error-free. I have two errors which I am trying to fix.  The smiley face appears then disappears. Also one apple is slanted. 



 

 

Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of Score and lives.
I have included variables, score and lives.

 

 Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed. I have blogged all pieces of my work which shows what I have learnt and my understanding of the game.

 

 

 Test 5: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.  I still need to fix the sizes of the basket so it doesn't changed each second.

 

Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.
I do keep score of my sprites and it is straight forward.

 

 Test 7: The variable score should go up by 1 and lives should minus 1
My game does include variables.  My score goes up by 1 and my lives go down by 1 each time it hits the smiley face.

 

Test 8: The falling objects should fall into the main object (e.g. basket)
This is in my blog.  If the basket is under the falling fruit, then the fruit will fall into the basket easily.

 

 

 

Test 9: The basket should collect the fruit easily.
My basket can collect the fruit easily

 

Test 10: The scratch game should be found on my blog with clear explanations.   I have blogged all pieces of my work.

Game Testing Strategy & Plan

GAME TESTING STRATEGY & PLAN

I will test my game to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask... Stacie

to test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for  Stacie

Here are the tests:-

Test 1:  The game must have clear instructions for the user.

Test 2: The game must be error-free.

Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of Score and lives

Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

Test 5: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states:- normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.

Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.

Test 7: The variable score should go up by 1 and lives should minus 1

Test 8: The falling objects should fall into the main object (e.g. basket)

Test 9: The basket should collect the fruit easily.

Test 10: The scratch game should be found on my blog with clear explanations.

Starting a picnic game with animations

Starting a picnic game with animations

This is a picture of my new picnic that includes a basket, a palm tree, flowers, clouds in the sky and a big bright sun.
As you can see, last lesson I started to include animations and In this case I have moving fruit. I managed to make the fruit change colour and drop.  So now I can move the basket in directions but I need to learn how to let the fruits drop into the basket.  Later on in the lesson, I added a smiley face that appears then disappears so you don't know when it will be back.
