I just finished my first project for Game Design 1

I just finished my first project for Game Design 1.  We were assigned Pong.  There weren't a lot of guidelines so it was pretty open for interpretation.  Mine is green with a black border, white ball, one pink paddle, and one blue paddle.  It has a welcome screen and a loser screen.  It just re-sets when you lose; otherwise, I suppose you could play forever unless you beat the CPU (which I doubt is likely to happen).  😂

We only had a few days to do this; I did get frustrated last night because OF COURSE I wanted to go all-out with more creative graphics and fancy stuff like keeping score and levels and actually being able to win the game (LOL!) and all that.  But I think I was trying to go too big with software I was just learning to use.  I kind of assumed I'd have a little more time to work on it, also.  We got the assignment on Monday and it's due in a couple of hours at midnight.  Yes - that is all week, but with classes and family and other homework it didn't feel like a lot of time.

Anyway, the professor said that the point of this was to get us familiar with the software before starting the group projects so I don't think I'll get a bad grade.  We also have one more solo project (up next is a re-make of Mega Man), and then we'll be working in teams for the rest of the semester.  I usually don't like working with other people, but this actually sounds like a lot of fun.  I think we'll be able to get a lot more done as a group and that will be awesome.

Now I'm off to relax.  I have housework and homework waiting for me tomorrow.  Later, friends!
