First Game

Before I took CS 108 class, I had not played a game in a long time. I had to work hard to catch up with the game industry.

In the class, I had my first experience to produce a game using Game Maker. When the assignment assigned to me, I was not sure what type of game I was going to make. There are so many different types of game including platform game, pinball game, shooter, maze game, mascot fighting game, traditional fighting game, and ect. After a research on game types, my partner and I decided to create a platform game. We also separated roles between us. I was the designer and the programmer for this project. My main duty for the project was to design the game, and to write code for the game.

During the first meeting, we decided to use fruit and garden background for our game. However, we did not like the picture after we draw on the paper. Therefore, we decided to use star and space background. We all agreed on this design. The next step was to think about a name for our game. Since the characters in our game has stars, and the background is in the space, we named our game as AllStars.

As I mentioned above, I had not play a game in a long time. This was a tough project for me. Fortunately, there are some many amazing video tutorials, on the YouTube, teach you how to use game maker to create a game. From the tutorial videos, I learned how to create object, sprint, background, and room in Game Maker.

Even though I had a hard time to do this project, but I enjoyed it.
