Space Invaders

  • What was the name of the presenter and what company did he work for?
  • What prior experience did you have with coding?
  • What positive experiences did you have with working through the space invaders tutorials?
  • What negative experiences did you have with working through the space invaders tutorials?
  • Show an example of some of the code that you changed and what was the result?
  • If we had more time, what are some things that we could do to make this assignment better?

The name of the presenter was Sean Halliday and he works for electronic arts.

I had some experience with coding because i did some in grade 7. I worked with scratch and i did colour coding, basically if you colour the page some certain colours the robot your teacher would give you, it would read the code and move. For example, if i did blue green blue, the robot would read that and do a U turn.

I had a lot of positive experiences because it was so simple and i really enjoyed the results. 

I surprisingly didn’t have any negative experiences because i literally didn’t do anything complicated i just followed his instructions very carefully.   

I changed the pace of my lasers because it was going very slow in my opinion so i changed it from a 10 to a 15.

If we had more time, i would’ve liked to played the game properly,  for example, once i shoot the monster, i would like to have learned how to re spawn the monster back into the game.
