10 Questions

So what did you think of the assignments?

How would you rate the assignments in terms of difficulty?  Look at them both, and just tell me which ones were easy, which ones were harder.  Or were they both easy or both hard? if so, can you give me an example of a subject you’ve learnt? 

For 3 in one gaming you did 2 games .. (so answer two out of the following three questions)

In the Space invader game, name one thing you learned during its development.  
In the maze game name one thing you learned during this assignment.
In the card game name one thing you learned during this assignment.

Right, here’s a slightly off the wall one:  did you learn any maths during this experience?  These assignments?

Do you think you gained any maths when you did any puzzles for the maze game? 

How do you rate your maths?  Give us a scale, are you good?  
What GCSE grade have you got etc?

How hard did you find the maths during these assignments?

Do you think your opinion’s towards maths has changed?

Pls Answer these 10 questions with as much detail as you can and pls put your name.

Unit 74 : assignment

Task 1)  (P1/M1/D1)

I want you to work on a story in small group max 3 students, or on your own.

Post your assignments here pls. 

I want all 3 tasks from you pls, zip it and give it as a 'gdrive link' pls (I need access).

When do I want this in ? 16/5/16

Unit 70 P4

Unit 70 : P4

Unit 71 : P2 / P3 / P4 (James OO Design)

You are an apprenticeship games designer working for a small games developer in the east midlands.

Your manager what’s you to create a 3D gaming using the new Unreal 4 Engine :-

This is a game that has 3 areas which are interconnected. Two of the rooms are to explore and the 3rd room

contains the zombies (bots).

The first area is the largest and is set in an outside environment with landscaping and grass and some water

features.

The Second room is a cave (or house / hut) in the landscaped environment. This is a fairly large area the

player needs to explore and maybe find stuff.

The third room is access via a door in this cave or house and has zombies in their which will attack the player

on sight.

Only Documentation needed for unit 70 is game play video or screenshots. For Unit 71 James will describe what he needs

3 in one game Assignment 2

3 in One Gaming

Assignment Brief

To recap...

Option one:

Create a Maze game for the students to play that also helps them develop their mathematics skills.

The main character of this game ‘Brainbox’ has to move from level to level solving increasing difficult maths based problems. Each level should show a different maths problem and the level of the maths problem should be GCSE grade C Mathematics.

You will be doing 5 levels all getting progressively harder to get through.

The main character Brainbox has to solve Maths problems (to GCSE grade C maths lvl). Brainbox is harassed by the evil twins ‘division’ and ‘multiplication’ and a variety of other monsters you are to create. 
For example for Brainbox to progress to the next lvl he needs to pass through a door, the door has a number on it. 
This number is the answer to a maths equation.

So the door could say 

C = 2 + (n x 0.50)

A Sprite that Brainbox collects says n=20.

So putting n=20 into the equation 

C = 2 + (20 X 0.50)

C = 2 + (10)

C = 12

So Brainbox would collect Sprite n=20 then collect a Sprite that says 12. However I would expect some ‘red herrings’ in the game like Sprites with random numbers in them, and for harder levels sprites that say n=19 that can’t be solved and brainbox dies! (When he collects it). However each level should represent a different type of Maths genre.

Use your imagination in the game creation process.

You can use any maths revision you have or the BBC bite size website for example materialshttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/
Next find all Sprites, sounds, backgrounds needed for game and put them in a table and document why you have used each sprite, sound or background.

Option two:

Create space invader clone game. 

you can make it look as close to the original as possible OR make your own version of a space invader game. 

Create the game so it gets progressively harder and faster. As in the original space invaders game you will eventually die, but get a high score. So part of this game needs to be a high score table where players put in their name.

Elements of the game include ordinary space invaders and mother-ships which appear at the top or in a separate level. 

If you choose to create your own version of space invaders I need at  least 5 levels, that once the player gets to the 5th level they all repeat but slightly faster and harder to kill.

This game with require, for the more advanced version advanced scripting techniques.

Option three:

Blackjack game 

Make a Black Jack Game for the PC

Do some research on the card game black jack, its also called pontoon.

Create a game where you are dealt cards you can choose to twist or stick and also you play against 3 AI players who can also twist or stick.

Pls note do not put money element in this game we are not creating a gambling game. its about who can win the most rounds.
