CRITERION C PLAN

PLAN THE PRODUCT / SOLUTION:

                         

Create a timeline showing what you will do. Include people, hardware, and software. 

 

Step One

Task:Create My World (Create the Maze)                                                                Due Date: 18-11-11      

Process: I am going to use Kodu as my platform to create my video game. First I am going to start out with making my world, which would basically just be a maze. The first thing I am going to do is figure out a good, complicated maze. I would create a surface large enough to cover it, then use the walls to create the maze.

Step Two

Task: Creating my player and formatting it (actions)                                                 Date due: 28-11-11              

Process: Next I will create a player, and its physical appearance. Then I will chose its actions. When to turn, when to eat, and when it'll stop.

Step Three

Task: Choosing the different types of music that I could insert into my game             Date due: 1-12-11              

Process:I would pick out a couple different types of music, one for indicating the correct path, which would generally be a happy kinda of music (major tonality) and the other indicating that your going on the wrong path which would be sad, angry music (minor tonality).

Step Four

Task:  Inserting the Music in my game                                                                        Date due:5-12-11               

 Process: The next step would be to insert the music into my game, and format it according to where the character does move.

Step Five

Task:  Testing out the game                                                                                      Date due:6-12-11               

Process: This task would include testing out the game, weather the characters are working, if the game is running as its supposed to or not.

USE APPROPRIATE TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES: Discuss the tools available and used. What did you do to develop your skills with these tools?

 To make the game, I used Kodu. Kodu was simple to create a game in because everything was simple and clear to follow. I experimented a lot, and explored the game to see what things the game did, or allowed you to put, into your creation, and what type of games you can make.

FOLLOW THE PLAN:
Evaluate & reflect on your plan. Describe modifications have you made as you proceeded.

I think my plan is quite short, and doesn't involve many steps, and is more general, but I feel to make the game you don't have to go into the details so much, especially in my game because its so simple. Its just a basic maze with music, the only main troubles that I would have would be things like formatting the music according to the character. I made a few changes along the way, at first I had many small steps, but it was getting quite confusing, therefore I just generalized my plans.
