Alien Shooting

In EDTECH597 this week I was tasked with creating another game.  I still wanted to keep focused on the math unit and decided to create a shooting program scratch.

I decided to focus on multiples of 3 and have the player shoot rockets at aliens on the screen.  It was a fun program to create and I got to experiment with a few elements further than I had before.  Creating the introductory slide was a neat process.  This type of slide allows me to ensure that the player reads the instruction.  However, I did have some difficulty with typing the text and wish it was easier to edit text boxes after the initial typing.

I also got to experiment with producing clones.  This was fun but caused a bit of problems.  When the rocket clones hit the alien I wanted to ensure that both the alien and the rocket clone disappeared.  I struggled for awhile to ensure that both sprites were effected.  It took awhile but I got there.

Overall I think I created a fun little game that will help students in Math.
