There were so many things I wanted to do through my game, but because of my lack of skills with c++, I had to stick with what was currently do-able. I feel like c++ is the most challenging part that I find myself struggling to overcome in every game I make. The code I wrote for this project was just a collection of bits and pieces of different codes I wrote for my previous games.
During critique, many people felt like my diet game would be more playable if some foods would make the main character less bigger. My game made Mr. Beans’ face grow bigger and more intimidating every time you clicked on a food item. This size++ and size– function was actually a part of what I was intending on doing – hence the name of my game, but I ended up writing a different code with Patrick’s help.
For my final project, I want to be able to fully express myself though a game with many the different commands and functions that enhance the player’s experience. I felt that all my weekly games were super short and unplayable for the most part. I appreciate all of the comments that my peers made regarding my game because it helps me visualize the player’s experience when playing my games.
