Today has been an eventful one.
Firstly at the bright and early time of 10:00am we
started a session which showed us yet another module and break down of the
module, I don't want to bore you so I shall leave it at that.
After the module and semester breakdown we then
continued to delve into the world of Adobe Photoshop and was given instruction
on how to make a carbon copy of the Apple Inc. logo, which I found quite useful
as it reminded me of the tools that I had forgotten on my long break between college and
university.
Secondly I made my first game in my first week so I
can't complain. It was a board game called Brick Break (not very original) the
objective was to move by throwing two dice to the end of the 50 square board.
The twists however was that when you landed on a number for example 6, that
number was no longer in play and was marked with a yellow counter, so the
players knew what squares were not in play and if the next player landed
on square 6 they would be sent to the start again.
As well as this, spread out randomly on the board were
destroy or repair squares which enabled the player who landed on them to choose
to either destroy a square on the board (usually one with
an opponent on) and send them to the start and mark the new destroyed
square with a yellow counter. Or the player can decide the repair option which removes
all yellow markers off of the board meaning more freedom to roll and more
safety. Also spread randomly on the board was damaged squares which as you
probably guessed sent the player that landed on them to the start. As well as
all of those things (if it wasn't bad as it is) once you have eventually
reached the final sprint of the board you have to roll the exact number away
from the finish square otherwise however over you are you have to move them
back, for example if a player was on 46 and is 4 away from the finish and they
rolled 6 they would 2 back from the finish and land there.
Overall quite a productive day I shall, if I can find
the correct connector cable, upload pictures of my first draft of my board game
and my apple logo asap, by the way MY idea is
patented.

Did you test the game with the destroy and repair square? was it an improvement on the original version now you have added choice?
ReplyDeletei have tested the destroy and repair squares, which turned out to be very productive. The option to help or hinder the opposing players really made the game more interesting and fun.
