Jenny's E-Portfolio

Through Elective, we did three major projects, a hidden objects game, an action game, and a team game. A hidden objects game is where you have to find items in a certain background, and you learn about that object. An action game is when you allow the user of the game to have a player and interactive with the characters of the game in order to learn something. And a team game is where you (obviously) work with a team, and make at least three working levels, which all help players learn different aspects of a certain topic. For this page, the largest accomplishment would be the team game. I worked with two of my friends, Sally and Jenna. I was the programmer of the game, Sally was the writer, and Jenna was the artist. We decided to make a game about the life of a Monarch Butterfly, the player has to go through many different tasks in order to help the butterfly survive.

This is my largest accomplishment out of all the games I have done. And this is because I had time, and I really had an opportunity to make my game different. Because when we started with the hidden object and action games, there was not much time in order to make the game really different and cool. So when we had the time, I had a lot of ideas in order to make our game successful, and I spent most of my time going online and trying to find new pieces of code. And throughout this process, is where I felt like I began to truly understand code. And I began to depend on myself in order to write the code, instead of continuously looking at code tutorials, and at that point, I began to feel really proud of myself, because of how I have improved drastically on code, since the 5th grade. I also finally understood some simple code, even though, at this rate, I should I understood the code that I write.
