Farmer Lindemuth

Ski down the dangerous slopes, don’t hit the gates, or let the snow yeti get you!

Game On Mobile?

Game Challenges

I struggled to find a balance of the snow yeti speed and the player icon speed. I didn’t want to make it too hard or too easy.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted to make it slow down the skier when the icon wasn’t on the trail, but I didn’t have time to do this.

Game Next Steps

I think I would add more levels, maybe faster yetis and more gates.

Gracie Batsie

A game where you can make a fun, custom profile picture with your favorite Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse character!

Game On Mobile?

Game Challenges

Making all of the hide and show elements for each character was extremely tedious!

Game Unfinished Component

I would have liked to add a done screen that just had the players final image on it without the option buttons.

Game Next Steps

Along with the done screen, if I had more time I would have added more customization options for each character. Maybe some specific options for different characters based on their presence on the show.

Read more about Mini Golf

Will Wright

This game is based on the Mini Golf tutorial found at https://www.construct.net/en/courses/mini-golf-mobile-game-5. I chose this tutorial because I wanted to see the recommended way to develop a game with multiple layouts / screens, and also because I have never worked with the physics system in Construct. It was quite fun to do!

There are only two holes. Use the aiming line to determine the angle at which your shot will go. Press the green button to shoot. Time your shot with the power meter to adjust the strength of your shot. If you want to re-aim your next shot, press the red reset button. Have fun!

Game On Mobile?

Yes

Game Challenges

I didn't have too many challenges, as I mostly just followed the tutorial.

Game Unfinished Component

Make 18 holes.
Develop a "par" for each of the holes.
Track number of shots for the entire game, not just the current hole.
Add sound effects.
Add more mechanics to make it more like a real-life course: slopes, tunnels, moving parts.
Allow the initial tee location to be chosen by the golfer, perhaps behind a line on the ground.

Game Next Steps

Any of the above options would be fun!

CIWS - C (close in weapon system to defend against incoming missiles)
Point to aim

Game On Mobile?

Game Challenges

My biggest challenge was making the rockets arc as they traveled to their target.

Game Unfinished Component

I created and imported the sprites for an enemy destroyer to go along with the standard patrol boats but I didn’t have time to work them into the program.

Game Next Steps

I would

add more levels
create a larger variety of enemies

Layering the elements on the screen so there is the right overlap.
Creating different rows of clickers, workers, and harvesters based on how many were already present.
The art.

I really wanted to make a market for the bean prices. I got all the historical data in a spreadsheet but couldn’t put it in.
Incorporate a story to the game.
Adding a water and sunlight system to make it more realistic.

Game Next Steps

I would make it so the buttons get bigger when you hover over them.

Tyler Meadows

A simulated version of Ultimate disk, similar to the game Retro Bowl

Game On Mobile?

Game Challenges

Having the players stop moving when holding the disk (cannot move with the disk in the real game).

Game Unfinished Component

I couldn't figure out an efficient way to have the other team score, I wanted to use a random number generator but couldn't figure it out.

Game Next Steps

Hopefully make the other team play more, and score so they game could be competitive.

Read more about Hotbox Ultimate

Andrew Gervia

This is a digital take on an Ultimate Frisbee game called hotbox. Your teammates will cut in and out of the box to shake their defenders. Move your player to the disc using WASD, then aim your shot with the mouse and shoot using Left click. If the disc connects with your teammate inside the box you score a point.

Game On Mobile?

Game Challenges

Figuring out which movement to give each sprite was the most difficult. It was also hard finding out how to have the defense follow their marks.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted this to be how the game plays in real life, with offense becoming defense on a turnover and vice versa. I also wanted the teammates to be able to catch the pass outside the box and pass on their own.

Game Next Steps

I would find a way to make the game more realistic in the sense that you play offense and defense and the enemy team can score, making it so there would be a way you could lose this game.

Cooper Pinaud

Who needs a graphing calculator when you have this app?

Game On Mobile?

Yes

Game Challenges

This seemingly simple app is actually quite complex! Using a canvas to draw a curve, converting pixel coordinates to coordinate plane coordinates, and even just displaying the equation demonstrate Cooper's ability to take on a series of challenges.
