GAME TESTING STRATEGY & PLAN

I will test my game to make sure it works while I create it. I will also test it after I have finished coding to make sure it works fully as planned. I shall do the testing myself but I shall also ask Stacie

To test certain parts of it. I shall be a test buddy for Stacie

Here are the tests:-

Test 1:  The game must have clear instructions for the user.

Test 2: The game must be error-free.

Test 3: The game must have the meaningful variables of ….

Test 4: The game must be documented well in my blog so that I can come back to it at a later date to make alterations to it if needed.

Test 5: Each collecting sprite needs to have 3 states: - normal, bulging, slim and named appropriately.

Test 6: The program has to keep a score of all the collected sprites.

Test 7: the score and life should change

Test 8: backgrounds should change welcome screen, game over screen and main playing screen

Test 9: the main sprite should change according to what happens in the game

Test 10: when you loose all your lives it should say game over

Stocking costumes

these are my Three main stockings one is a normal stocking, the second a empty stocking and the third a full stocking

the stocking is the main character and I will soon make scripts so that the stocking moves around it
will catch the falling object and when the objects hit the stocking it will become a full stocking but if it is hit by a spider it will lose points and become slim and empty again.

Scratch background

In class I have started my own game on scratch I have decided to call it Christmas catcher because the aim of the game is to catch the falling Christmas ornaments.

first I started off by designing the main playing screen with a Christmas tree and a present then I added on a gentle blue background with brown flooring.

I tried to make the background interesting but at the same time not too bright and bold for the eyes so when the game is played it won't distract the player. I had to design and create the background myself other wise if I used an already made background it would be known as copy wright. I also stuck to a Christmas theme.  

Stocking scripts

Finally i have finished the Stockings movement and now I can get the stocking to move about and will be able to catch the soon falling ornaments.

I have also set my score to 0 and my life's to three if I am hit by a spider my life will go down by one if I miss an ornament my score goes down by five but if I hit an ornament my score will rise by one.

FINAL GAME

This is the final image of CHRISTMAS CATCHER it includes falling objects such as Christmas balls, spiders it includes a main character with three costumes.

the aim of the game is to catch the falling objects but not the spider if you get touched by the spider you lose a life you start with 3 lives and a score of zero the more and more ornaments you catch the more points you gain although if you miss and ornament you lose 5 points.the game does get slightly harder as you continue to play. 

Spider costumes

This is the Spider costume I used the scripts from the falling ornaments but again changed the coordinates of where it starts,falls and lands so when it touches the stocking the stocking will loose a life and go slim.

ornaments

This is the ornament it will fall down so that the stocking can attempt to catch it when making each ornaments I copied my previous scripts and pasted them into a new ornament except I changed the coordinates so that the ornament would fall in a different direction.

Online Personal Saftey

On the internet now days more and more people are being cyber bullied what is cyber bulling you may ask? cyber bulling is another form of bulling but online. You can be cyber bullied by anyone strangers or people you know.

This post is going to teach you about online personal safety...

Posting, this is something no body thinks about carefully.

Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of yourself.  Once you’ve put  a picture of yourself online anyone can see it or even keep it, it’s not just yours anymore.

  At home, at the office, or scrolling through a mobile device, we use the benefits of the Internet in thousands of ways, yet most users don’t give a second thought to how their actions online can affect their personal safety offline so until we develop better technologies to stop online fraud, cyber-bullying and grooming and indeed prevent these issues from ever occurring we will always have to acknowledge the fact that what we put online is seen by everyone but don't become paranoid about it just always be aware.

When online, for example creating a new account for social networking. Always be careful when entering details. make sure they are never too personal
