Criteria C- Creating the solution

Criteria C- Creating the solution

Gannt Chart - Planning my creation

This shows my plan, it shows what I will do on the creation, and when I will do it.










The steps for my creation

Main Menu


1. This is the first step for creating the main menu, I deleted the sprite and went to the backdrop, according to the design specification, I am going to make a stadium background, with 2 buttons and a title. The first step is a making a line dividing the red and the green part, then I fill the top part with red and then make two lines in the middle. After that, I fill the two divided sides with green, then I put a black circle in the middle of the white line. Using the line tool, I make the two goals.

2. I have added the title, I added the text for the title, then I made two sprites, I imported two red buttons pictures, and added text on them, I put 'Start'and 'Controls' as the text for the two buttons,
3. I made a backdrop for the controls, so they know how to play, later on I will add the text. I also made a sprite, using a red button and adding the text 'Main Menu' for it.

4. This is the backdrop for the game, it is not completed, I made it so the main menu can function properly and I could add code and see how it looks like. I copied the same way to making the stadium as step 1.

5. This is the code I used for the backdrops, it will help in changing the backdrops when the buttons are pressed.
6. This is the code I used for the 'Start button. Now I can use the start button to play the game, and depending on the backdrop, it will appear or not.
7. This is the code used for the 'Controls' button, with this if I click on the button it will show me the controls of the game.
8. This is the code used for the 'Main Menu' button, with is, when I enter the controls menu, I can go back to then main menu with the click of a button.

Now I have successfully completed the main menu for my game.
Game

1. This is my first sprite in the football game, which is one of the players. I used the circle tool and filled the circle with blue.
2. This is the code I used for my first sprite, this code helps my correct go to the correct position at the start of the game, and when a player scores a goal. It helps moving the sprite, it also hides in some backdrops, depending on the backdrop.
3. This is my second sprite in the football game, which is one of the players. I used the circle tool and filled the circle with red.
4. This is the code I used for my second sprite, this code helps my correct go to the correct position at the start of the game, and when a player scores a goal. It helps moving the sprite, it also hides in some backdrops, depending on the backdrop.
5. This is the football in the game, I made this by using the drawing tool.
6. This is the code used for the football in the code, this code makes sure the football is in the right place, it is hidden in some backdrops, depending on the backdrop. It also knows when the ball reaches the goal, so the scoreboard is updated and it goes back to the middle. It also has the code so it can change from one player to the other depending on how the ball is taken. 

7. These are the goals in the game, it is flipped for the goal on the other side, if the ball touches this, it is a goal. There is no code for this sprite.

8. This is the backdrop  for when I start the game, I took it from the internet and imported it in. I added those faces on the sides, because that is the crowd.





This is the game

Criteria B: Developing Ideas

Criteria B: Developing Ideas

Design Brief

For Criteria B, I will make designs for my football video game animation on Scratch. I have already have done a Criteria, which is below this post. It has more information on my animation that I will make, an interview to make sure we can get the best for the game, to fix all the problems and satisfy the gamer's and the grade 2 children who get bored, so this will be a fun game for them to enjoy. I am making this game because the football gamer's aren't satisfied with the games which are currently released. I am also making the game because the children in grade 2 primary.

Design Specification                                                                               


Designs

Main Menu

Design 1


It has a title called Football Multiplayer, it has 2 footballs next to it and two buttons. One called 'Play'and one called 'Controls'.
It is a very bland, simplistic design, it has no colors and no creativity. I don't think it will attract a lot of people to play the game.

Design 2 

This is my second design for the main menu, it has the same title. with football's next to it. Same buttons as 'Play'and Controls'. This time it has colors with Green and Purple, making it look vibrant, but it isn't very creative and fitting my needs exactly.

Design 3

This is my third design for the main menu. It has a stadium background because the match is played at a football ground. It has the same buttons and the same title, but there is no footballs next to them. I think this is good because the colors, aren't very outrageous and they are simple and nice to look at, they will attract people to play the game.


Final choice for the main menu design

I have chosen design 3 because it fits my design specifications, it looks neat and should attractive to the grade 2 children. It should engage the children to play this game. It also has a stadium background. The final product will look much better and make it even more appealing to the younger audience. It has red buttons, it has vibrant colours and a very vibrant background.


Stadium

Design 1
This is the first design, it is a stadium, with two goals and the borders are the fans who be at the stadium, in the middle is a line where the ball is placed. It has no color making it look bland and not attractive.

Design 2
This is the second design, it has added the players on each team and a bit more detail, it still has no color, so it doesn't look very attractive to the younger children and they might find it boring.

Design 3

This is the third design, it has color for the grass and the crowd looks better, they will have blue chairs, and they will have different colors depending on the teams playing, the pitch looks centered, the pitch is symmetrical. It looks attractive to the children.

Final choice for the stadium design 

I have chosen design 3, because it will appeal to the children, it looks vibrant and colorful. It has detail and looks like a proper pitch from a bird's eye view. It looks way better than the first two designs. It fits the design specification that I have written. The final version of the design will be improved and look very appealing.
