  As I continued with development I started thinking more and more about a name for the game. Eventually I chose Euclid’s Dream, drawing the connection between the shapes and his role as the ‘father of geometry’.  This made it…

For my conference project, I decided to keep working on the game I’d started working on for the Black & White Exercise #2 assignment. I wanted to expand on the game and make it more interactive and playable. I want this…

The process of coding Bug Spotter was both substantially easier and substantially more difficult than I had originally envisioned. After a laborious design process, I was easily able to code the proper behaviors for the spot-hungry lady bug, the bee…

For this game I was using the code base of the race to the finish group game I completed with Giles. As such I already had much of the game mechanics fleshed out. This meant that when I went to complete…

Despite the fact this class doesn’t use the traditional conference formula Neon Rush has been closer to the regular conference projects. Going all the way back to the beginning of the semester is when the design process started from chameleon….

Looking back at Attendance I really enjoyed working on it, both for hider seeker and for conference. I started out with a pretty cool mechanic in the vehicles stopping at certain points, but our original idea of a police chase…

The game is done. This is the newest edition of Standoff. It’s a pretty easy game to play that involves basic mechanics. The player is the cop aka triangle at the bottom of the screen, there is the vigilante aka…

So once I added an extra obstacle to the game I had successfully finished the “build it” phase of my game cycle. I like to condense a game making cycle into three main phases; build it, break it and fix…

After a while I worked with the code, I made the necessary changes for standoff to be a better game. At first I changed the color. The background is a dark grey bluish color and the cop(player/triangle) is black while…

For my conference project I decided to continue working with my hider seeker group game. The main reason I did this was that given this was my first experience with programming I felt that my most recent work was my…

My conference project is a series of sticker labels. My idea came from the clothing label. For my project, I made stickers for chairs, staircase handles, water fountains, plants and glass windows and doors in heimbold. I am also making…

My main goal for my conference game was to make a game that I would want to pick up and play almost without thinking, the kind of game I see people playing every day to breeze through life’s more mundane…

Coding this game was quite a journey. At points in time, I spent 1 to 2 hours dissecting if() statements to fix bugs or things that I didn’t like about the game. The collision was rudimentary and barely worked at…

This was a fun experiment.  Most everything I set out to do is done.  A few things didn’t work out, due to the fact that I dug myself into a design-hole early on and that I barely know how to…

While conceptualizing this project, I had Starseed Pilgrim on the brain. Putting together a musical puzzle platforming game would have been way over my head. But I wanted to create a mechanic similar to that game’s perpetually-expanding black hole, which…

In the end I kind of ran with my “moar colors, moar circles” idea. I even added the abilities for the roamer to become bigger based on timing and for the player to become one of the older circles when he/she…

I felt there was really something to Eclipse as soon as I threw it on the tablet.  I spent a good half hour playing it, seeing how tiny the circles might become.  Some other people also played it, and they…

Eclipse began with our first black and white exercise, after we had begun to read Chip Kidd.  It was almost entirely influenced by my want to use negative and positive space heavily within a game. Here’s my first entry for it…

In the making of “A Cup of Rain,”  I have run into several technical challenges. The first was creating the collision effect among raindrops. Since these rain drops are called from an ArrayList, I did not know their specific coordinates to…

My inspiration for the game “A Cup of Rain” comes from my window in a rainy day: small rain drops were sliding slowly, and when they ran into other drops, they would form a flow . Besides seeing this beautiful process…
