Bouncing Ball Assessment 2/13/2014 GAME:IT Unit 3 Assessment Sheet Name: Martin Shoraji Name of File: Maritin_Shoraji_Game 1, 1A, 1B, and 1C Assessment for “Bouncing Ball” Game Requirements: Game 1A: click left mouse on ball, ball disappears This was pretty easy to do but I just had to find the button which took 2 minutes so it wasn't that hard. 2) Game 1B: click left mouse on ball and it changes direction & increase speed I had no problems with this one it was pretty easy after I did the fruit tutorial. 3) Game 1C: click left mouse on ball and it changes direction & increases speed. Right click and ball changes direction & decreases speed This was also pretty easy because I knew if I did negative speed instead of positive speed it would go slow from my common sense.

MARTIN SHORAJI 3/14/2014 STEM Fuse – GAME:IT Unit 1 Color Theory and Artistic Technique Worksheet -10 pts. Name: Martin Shoraji Date: 3/14/2014 Read the 3 page explanation of how the Spyro the Dragon was created and what types of decisions regarding color and art the developers made and why. Pay attention to the amount of detail that a graphic artist has to be aware of when designing a game. The game not only should look “cool”, it should be different than a competing game and convey the emotion of a particular point of the game, such asdanger or victory. While reading the tutorial, answer the following questions: What was the original color for Spyro? Green What color did Spyro change to? Purple Why? Because it made him blend in with the scenery. On page 2, there are 3 examples of different skies. Describe the differences in each: For the first sky it is a nice day and looks calm for a normal morning and what the game should normally look like. For the second sky there is a dim sky and a mood obviously stating that it is night or dark in the game. For the last sky it looks al volcanic and ominous and looks like terror and fear telling the player something bad is happening or going to happen because of the destructive sky. Which sky do you like best? I like the 3rd one because it is all deadly and cool colored. Which one seems most dangerous? Sky number 3. According to the author, what is the simplest way to show game players the “safe areas”? You make the areas light if they're safe and dark if there not also use dark colors for dangerous and light for safe. What techniques can a developer use to make sure a player doesn’t get lost? They can use lighting or a landmark/waypoint to let the player know where they are. What type of college degree did this author, who is also one of the Spyro developers, graduate with? An artistic degree and a game design degree. MARTIN SHORAJI

MARTIN SHORAJI 3/17/2014 STEM Fuse - GAME:IT Unit 1 Color Theory Game Critique: 12 pts. NAME: Martin Shoraji Date: 3/17/2014 GAME NAME: Game 4 Now that you have a little bit of an idea of what designers think about what choices they can make when creating a game use this knowledge to critique the game you have been playing during this unit. What is the color scheme and combination of your game? (focus on the main characters and backgrounds) The game had a grey color scheme and the colors didn’t really change other than the blocks but there still was variety. Do these colors change during the game? Y / N Yes If yes, how do these changes happen? (level change, score achieved, winning, losing, time loop) When the player goes to the next room. What type of mood or emotion do you think the game designers are trying to have the player feel? (cartoonish, danger, frightened, fun, etc.) An old arcade stile game that the adults played in their childhood. Are the “safe areas”, boundaries and landmarks well designed - is the game easy to navigate, do you get lost? There is an X on the bad blocks and they cant really get lost. Is there music / sound effects? Y / N No If yes, do they match the action and add to the game? Y / N No it has none. If you could redesign the game, what specific changes would you make? (5pts.) I would add sound and a better art scheme and make it longer funner and add more challenges for the player to overcome. MARTIN SHORAJI
