Game Ideas

The game Im thinking of is going to based on the british boy band, One direction.
I want the game to have 5 levels, each level will be based on one of the five boys from the band, Niall, Harry, Liam, Louis and Zayn.
I want the levels to have questions about each one of the boys, but Inorder to select an answer to the question, I want the consumer to have to move the character (which would be one of the boys) to the answer.
For example look at the image above.

Another Idea I had was something similar to just dance. Its when the console tells the user to press a specific button (left arrow, up arrow, down arrow or right arrow) and then the sprite will change costume to follow the buttons direction and start to dance.
So far I have been investigating with rough sprites to see how I need the scripts to be for the game to work. I have found out how my arrow sprite appears onto the screen for a specific time limit and with a red dot (as an example) for the arrows to break and so the costumer will know if the, for example, down arrow is shown twice.

Surprise button: Tutorial Six

When you click sprite2, which is the carpet, it changes colour by the quantity of 25, colours are sorted by numbers so as the quantity is 25, the change of colour is going to be more noticable that something with the quantity of 2.
Then once the colour has changed a random picked drum sound will play for 0.2 beats. Once again there would be a change of colour after a sound is played. This process has no repetition so it would only start again when you click the carpet again.

Colour Change: Tutorial Five

I have edited the snowman sprite so that when the space button is pressed it will change colour.









Also I have created the code/scripted to comand the snowman and the game that when the space bar is pressed the snowman will change into the costumes I had made earlier.

Moving Animation: Tutorial Four

First to complete this tutorial I must create a different costume for my sprite which is a plane. So that when the plane moves, something will change with it. Inorder to do this, I pressed the sprite and went into the costumes, i pressed coppy and then edit to add the wind effect which I dress myself onto the plane.
Then I added the code so that after 0.3 seconds the plane will move 5 steps in the direction it is facing then change the costume and it will continuously do the same thing. Moving 5 steps and changing the costume of the sprite.

Move to A Beat: Tutorial Three

For this game the instructions "move 30 steps" makes the sprite move to the right and then when it says "move -30 steps" moves the sprite to the left. Also the purple insturctions allow music to play when the sprite has moved the specific steps, or direction.

Key moves: Tutorial Two

When it says "when ..... key pressed" you are able to select any letter, space, or the arrows and in this case I have used to arrows so when playing the game, the control is to only use the arrows. Also when you press one of the arrows depending on which one, the dirtection of the ball will move in the direction needed; eg: down arrow, will move 180 degrees.

Keep Score: Tutorial One

In order to complete the tutorial I needed to change the sprite from the cat to a shark. To complete this step I pressed "Choose new sprit from file" which opened a file with many sprites, so I then found the sprite needed. Also I had to add another sprite for the purpose of the game to work, and the shark sprite follows the next sprite which will be a small fish.
 
I then had to change the background/stage of the game so it seems more realistic and more attractive to the consumer when I create my own game. Inorder to do this I clicked "Backgroud" then "import" and found an appropriate stage to suit the game.
Now to allow the sprite to move and complete the necessary moves for the game to word, I must create a code/script for that particular sprite. For the shark I need it to have a score, so when It eats a small fish, a point is given. Also it needs to move 3 steps and point towards the small fish so it is easier to eat the fish.
Also I need to create a script for the small fish so that when the shark eats it, it will change costumes and dissapear.
This is the final game.
