This week for EDTECH597 I continued to work on creating projects that I can use to teach or reinforce different math concepts in the elementary school. This week I decided to focus on developing a program to reinforce the concept of even and odd numbers.
I first had the idea of a shooting game, but I quickly altered it to a swimming game, where players swim around a fish tank trying to catch the even and odd numbers. This time around I took my time with the code and the ideas and made sure everything was working before I moved onto the next bit. If I had problems I stayed and fixed it. This worked out well for me and saved me a lot of time.
This week was the first time that I was really working with sprites that I wanted to code the same. I decided to upload my unfinished project and explored use the backpack feature to copy the code between the sprites. This worked wonderfully well. The only issue that I had was the sound doesn't copy over automatically. There are two ways to fix this, one copy the sound file to the backpack or go to sound and install the file on all the sprites.
I also decided for the first time to modify my project submission as well. My original game focused on demonstrating understanding of even numbers. After some quick reflection, I decided to create another version of the game for odd numbers.
Overall, I am pleased with my results and had a lot of fun developing these games.
