Logic Statements Feature A grasshopper runs into a four-leaf clover and earns 50 points and an extra life: grasshopper collides with four-leaf clover add 50 points to score add one life to player IF __________________________________, THEN ___________________, AND __________________

Collision Theory Collision is the most useful conditionCollision Interactivity between game objectsInteractivity IF the coyote collides with the black spot, THEN the coyote falls The black spot acts like a hole

18. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Collision Theory Feature Think about the collisions in bowling List all of the actions and reactions you can think of in the game Write each collision as a logic statement with IF, THEN, AND, OR, or ELSE operators

The Games Factory 2 Game engine developed by Clickteam Object-oriented programming Very easy to use Drag-and-drop user interface Consists of several “views” or modules Frame editor Event editor Storyboard editor

22. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. The Games Factory 2 Frame Editor Library window Standard tree-type organization Drag-and-drop objects onto the game frame

23. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. The Games Factory 2 Frame Editor Properties window Contains various properties of selected object Changing properties alters the object function

24. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. The Games Factory 2 Event Editor View Events are programmed interactions Conditions are the IF side of a logic statement Reactions are THEN side of logic statement Check marks (ticks) store reactions

25. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. What relationship is used by game programmers to create a game environment that the player can control? Action-reaction relationship

26. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. What is a condition in game programming? An action that causes something to happen.

27. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. What is an event in game programming? The change that occurs when a condition is met.

28. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. What is the most basic logic statement? An IF…THEN statement

29. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Write a logic statement for this situation: when the dog eats the cookie, the player receives 100 points and earns an extra life IF the dog eats a cookie, THEN add 100 to the player score AND add one to the number of player lives.

30. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Modify the previous logic statement to include sound in the game for the event IF the dog eats a cookie, THEN add 100 to the player score AND add one to the number of player lives AND play a sound.

31. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. The Games Factory 2 is an object-oriented programming engine. How are the properties of an object changed? The Properties window in The Games Factory 2 contains the properties for a selected object and is where those properties are changed.

32. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Action-reaction relationship How an action causes something to change or react. Cause and effect Relationship between what has happened making something change or react. Collision Condition that occurs when an object touches another object. Collision statement Logic statement with a condition of two or more objects colliding.

33. © Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Permission granted to reproduce for educational use only. Condition Term for the IF side of a programming line for a video game. Event Term for the THEN side of a programming line for a video game. Interactivity How one object behaves in relation to the objects around it. Logic statement IF and THEN programming to determine an action/reaction relationship in a game.
