Exersice One part 1



Exercise One part 2

Games I've seen

I have been spending time researching online games. This is pretty enjoyable homework. I have been playing mostly adventure games, but some puzzle games have kept me captivated for long stretches at a time. It almost makes me feel guilty. For instance, today I played a game called "bloxorz" that honestly kept me occupied for 45 minutes. But I don't think we are making puzzle games, and even if we were, I don't feel like I would be able to make a very good one. I think I am planning on making an adventure game. So far I know it will involve running, jumping, and maybe fighting. I have been influenced by a game called "extreme pamplona" where you run away from different opponents depending on what country you visit. Something simple, but entertaining seems to be the way to go.

Demystified

I found this article very informative. There were lots of good terms, some I knew and some I didn't. I'm not really sure what else to say. The reading was not particularly interesting. That being said, I suppose it did give me the vocabulary necessary to take this class and to pursue this field.
