Goals for this Module
Progress
- What I accomplished:
- Completed the Atari case study assignment, Pitfall 2 was kinda fun ngl
- Challenges faced:
- Am taking CS 490 and why exactly is the workload so heavy??? Wasn’t able to put much time into this class for the past two weeks because of it
- Solutions:
Learnings
- i didn’t know that the Atari had 128 BYTES of memory, that is crazy. those programmers must have been wizards
Free Thinking
- Game Brainstorming
- Don Friar - the Prayer (is a cleric)
- deck of cards to determine encounters, easy deck, medium deck, hard deck, boss deck (draw x from deck 1, y from deck 2, etc.)
- use loading dice as a mechanic?
- Mike Tythin - Fairy with a lisp (hey lithin ts) that has magic but just uses it to bite peoples ears (thats how he deals damage)
- Kia Soul (Swole?): a transformer that transforms into a car, deals damage by doing rocket league tactics (flip resets, etc.)
Next Steps
- Keep working on learning frontend dev for CS 490, then worry about this class (sorry)
