Dear Class:

I still have a few Alice programs (Hour of Code) I have not graded or a couple of the last GameMaker games. I will check with each of you.

From there on, please work on your final project. However, I do want three things: A folder in your shared folder entitled "Final Project". Secondly, within it, I want your Final Project zipped correctly and uploaded into that same folder. Finally, I want a Google Doc that is entitled "Final Project". That document will describe to me, in two paragraphs, what it is you did, how you did it, and what makes your particular project worthy of a high grade. This includes whether or not it is from a tutorial you found or not. I also want you to copy and paste the link you got the tutorial from.

Seventh period will have to make sure their games are uploaded and shut down. Fifth period may leave their games on after the final and I will go to each computer, check the games individually since there are no classes after fifth period during finals on Thursday. In either case, all students must have the above files in a "Final Project" folder!!!!

3D Game will follow the Parallel Game. We will finish the roadway with the car. I want to grade the tree game and this car game at the same time.

The time line is thus: I grade Alice today, doing the "Hour of Code". We finish Alice on January 23rd. I will give you January 27 and your final day to create a project of your own for the final. You may use any program that we have used during this semester for this project.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Mr. Green-Hite

Dear Class:

We move to the 3D Game and then to Alice which should be on your computers.

Please play with the settings for the mountains that we worked on to see what happens, especially on the x,y axis for the parallax game.

Dear Class:

We finished the Shooter Game on GameMaker Studio. GameMaker Studio should now be loaded, although you may have to go to the C drive to load it. I would like to see it and grade it even with flaws. This will be for Period 5 since I was not able to get around to each of you.

We move to the 3D Game and then, hopefully, Alice which should be on your computers. The resources for the 3D game are in a shared folder but I am not sure how this will share with you.

Please play with the settings for the mountains that we worked on to see what happens, especially on the x,y axis for the parallax game. Work on this on your own while I check grades for the shooter assignment

3D games

3D Game will follow the Parallel Game.

Let me know if there are problems getting the sprites for this one if we get to the shooter. Thanks.

Shooter Game I want to do the shooter that I had done previously.
