Wolfie's Wasteland Experience

     Creating Wolfie's Wasteland was quite the experience. I would have loved to have been more involved in the graphic design portion of the game but Tilghman and Nick did a great job. However, although I didn't do much of the actually designing I did a majority of the creating the actual verbiage and content for the game, minus some very awesome remarks from Tilghman.  I wasn't too involved in the design work because a majority of the coding fell on my shoulders This happened for a multitude of reasons: I had the most experience variable-style coding in my group so it came a little more naturally for me, and I got so far in that it would have been difficult to have the others help me. Nick was helpful with the NPC code though. I thoroughly enjoyed working on it though. Scratch makes coding very easy and fun. I loved coming up with the content and the way the game moved with the different characters. I wish we hadn't of ran out of room on scratch because I could have put some sort of ending on the game.

Tilghman also made an incredible animation that we had hoped to actually attach to the game.

Scratch -- Level Progess

        This is where I am at with my level. I was able to figure out side-scrolling as well as on screen movement/exploration. I was able to make it so that backwards progress was NOT possible which is very important to our College/Decision making game. I also figured out how to make decisions that could 'teleport' the player to new areas of the map. I also made score card accessible by holding 'c'.

Things to work on. Objects moving with the screen (see goose). We as group need to figure out our 'choice-web'.
