Game design with Blender

My class has finished using Python. We are now using Blender to create a game. We use videos to help us learn how to use Blender. The video shows us how to move the cube, make the cube jump and add challenging stages to our game.

First we have to set up the game by getting a platform. Which is sensors, the logic controllers and the actuators. You can get a 3D view by holding your scroll key.


In my game I have mad my cube move and jump. My next step is to add coins and stages.

Problem solving with Python

Over the last two weeks I have been using Python. I've been learning to use computer language to create a game by writing code. I have been using 3 platforms to understand the language so i can give the computer some information to run the code. I understand that the instructions given to the computer makes the command work. This means if I make a mistake like writing it wrong it wont work. So I will have to go back and check the code.


Setting up the game
Setting up the game in the python IDLE window has been a step by step process and I have realised that to make the game work I have to open up IDLE window and use Pygame that is already downloaded on the computer. Once the window is opened I created a new template file which is the basic game  

 # 1. Pygame template - skeleton for a new pygame project
import pygame
import random

# 2. This code is for setting up the window width, height and there rate  that the  frames of the group change

WIDTH = 360
HEIGHT = 480
FPS = 30

# 3. Define colors by understanding  that the red, green and blue


RED=(255, 0, 0)
GREEN=(0, 255, 0)
BLUE=(0, 0, 255)

Problem solving
I managed to write the code  following

Game loop

Designing a game on python

Design Brief for Python- As a student I am learning to use Python and Pygames to design a simple Turtle game. I will learn how to make the turtle do different things. I will be using a Python IDLE window to run my game.

I think Trinket is a simple and easy to work with. It has a great way to explain how to use and do things.

Designing a game on scratch

As a student I can create a paddle game and start to develop other games of my ideas using Scratch. I know how all the forever and loops blocks go together and where to put them.my game allows the player to interact with the game. I also understand all of the basics of code.
