CSG 115 Final

Another semester ends with a peer review.  While I think most of my team did relatively well for their skill set, I don't think I was a very good product owner.  If I hadn't taken so long to complete the donut game, I could have allocated my time to the other games.  I was too nervous during the pitch and stayed quiet when questioned about the why we used the donuts.



Cops 4 Kidz Part 12: The Pitch

We pitched Cops 4 Kidz today to an audience to an audience made up of the capstone class.  We had barely anything to show off, but we did have one mini-game, the Tower of Hanoi Donut Rescue game.  One of the animation ranted about why we chose donuts in order to rescue the cat, there was a story behind the donuts, in that we thought it was a safer alternative to stacking different sized police officers.



At any rate, we did do more than the other team in terms of content, but neither did accomplished much.  I think our team suffered a lot from the fact that much of our team left throughout the semester.  And of those who stayed, weren't skilled enough to add all the things I wanted to add.

Cops 4 Kidz Part 11: Clever Title 2: The Sequel

We've implemented the Cat Rescue game as best we could, working with the previous team's scripts.  We don't actually have a win screen that gives the player a card, but we do have a back button if they want to exit the game.
The programmer of the team working on the First Aid kit game hasn't showed up for the past few weeks, so I've started to work towards getting a semblance of that mini-game done for next week.  I did manage to get a scene together to drag and drop, but none of the models I was using had any textures or materials, so we'll have to wait a little while before I can get the new models into the scene.


Cops 4 Kidz Part 10: Clever Title

We've begun to implement the cat rescue game into the main build.  I put a tree with the cat sprite on the main street.  Luckily, it wasn't difficult to to implement the code to start the game from the main title screen.  However, it is difficult getting the win screen to pop up once you actually win the game.  The other team didn't really comment on any of their codes, so it's difficult to figure out their thought process.  Putting yourself in the mind of the previous team is not an easy task.
