Lesson Objectives Build your very own game from scratch using the skills you have learnt so far.

What type of game? The possibilities are endless. Think back to your first Kodu lessons to help give you some ideas and also think about the various features of the apple game. Suggestions: Racing Game Story Game Football Game Shooting E.t.c.

Racing Game Before you can create a racing game you will need to learn about paths. Paths will ensure your opponents go where you want them to. Step 1 – Create the race track Step 2 - Add your character and set up the movement as you have done before Step 3 – Add a path which follows the route of the track. Step 4 – Add your opponents and program them to follow the path. Step 5 – Add an item at the end which when collected 1st wins the game. You may also want to add collectables throughout the track to score you points and even add the ability to shoot the opponents to slow them down.

Your Racer Make it more difficult by turning off glass walls in the settings.

Give each opponent a different colour path

Story Game Before you can create a story game you need to know about the SAY and the GRAB/GIVE commands. For example when I bump into the Blimp he asks me to find his ball. The ball is hidden behind the castle which needs to be destroyed by shooting it. When I bump into the ball the Kodu grabs it. Then when I bump into the Blimp Kodu gives him the ball. You would then have code on the Blimp which thanks you and gives you your next mission. Again endless possibilities.

Football Game This is quite a difficult game to create. Firstly you will need to create the football pitch. Then you need to set up the movement for your character. Then you will need to set up the scoring. Here is 1 possible method. Can you explain what's going on?

How it looks (Important) Paths Coloured Rocks Player 2 Player 1 Ball Goalkeepers Purple Path?

Your Player

Opposition Player

Goal Keeper

The Ball

Why does the code mention the different colour rocks?

Shooting Game This can be any sort of shooting game with object targets or character targets. You will need to add a points scoring system here and program the shooting.

Your Turn Hopefully you now have some ideas and you can go and create your own game. Think about the following: Movement Paths Shooting Grab/Drop/Give Say Glass Walls Scoring Winning/Losing
