Topic Summary:
The goal of this project was to help me
develop a better understanding of my future major, and also to show my current
knowledge on the topic of computer science to see where I am going to be when I
enter college. What I did was I created a game via the program processing which
is a coding program that codes on java. What I learned during this process is
that it is not always easy to stick to your original idea. As I went through
the project I was learning a bunch of new coding material that I did not know
and trying to take all that and apply all in one year was a little difficult.
So I created a game that was not like my original idea but I did this because
the game that I was able to produce in the end took some of the new knowledge
that I learned and apply it. My original idea was to make a side scrolling
adventure game such as the game Zelda but a lot of things such as drawing the
maps and writing different coding functions for changing the map were slightly
difficult. So in my end product, which was a maze, I was able to take the
drawing maps and apply it. I also learned that you do not need fancy graphics
to make a game fun because when I let my friends test it out everybody
surrounded my computer trying to beat the game, which I am proud of.
