App Dev - Day Two : Games

Today we continued our programme of app development as we transitioned from simple user interfaces to more complex game systems. The programs which we built today, Ladybug Chase, Presidents Quiz and Make Quiz, reflected the the work which had completed on the previous projects, especially with user interface and real time interaction. Lady Bug Chase in particular highlighted a degree of logical complexity and interconnectivity which set it apart from the other programs. The structure of the game and the sprite deployment also depended on large part upon the clock cycles which provided the animation aspect of the game:The Presidents quiz demonstrated basic user interface design which is not only useful for making games but also helpful when designing menu systems and other list-based interfaces:
Ultimately everything worked out well despite some space problems for the layout of ladybug within the blocks editor given the size of the program.

  1. Ladybug was fun to program, even if it took a boat load of time to program. All in all the simplistic appearance of the game is deceptive.
