1 - IDEAS PAGE
Before you start any design project it is a really good idea to look around you and see
what other people have already created.
You need to do some research (research just really means finding out things and
gathering information). So you are going to go and get some ideas and understand what
makes a good computer game.
1.
2.
3.
Look at games in the following places
1. The scratch website www.scratch.mit.edu
2. The examples folder within our tutorials folder
3. Look at online games (use google search to find some)
Now that you have done some searching you need to answer the questions on the
following slide
Be as detailed as possible and think for a while about it before you answer
you can add more slides
whenever and wherever
you need to!
1 - IDEAS PAGE
What makes the game fun?
Write you answers under each heading
How do the games keep your attention?
What are you learning within the game or getting better at?
What would you find annoying or boring in a computer game?
What ideas did you come up for your own game while looking at other peoples?

2 – PROJECT PLAN
Success criteria: My project will be successful if…
1.
Example… It is easy to use
2.
Example …The player moves left and right…
You must have 5 points here.
Finally…
You need to plan the look and feel or each level / different screen
Do this on the following slides
SHARE YOUR PLAN WITH YOUR TEACHER BEFORE YOU

4 – BUILDING GAME
Things to remember
While you are building your game you must keep all your work in a folder called
control systems. This folder must be kept within your personal ICT folder.
Inside your control systems folder you must make 4 folders
1. Scratch files
2. Images
3. Sounds
4. Documents
You must keep all your work organized and it’s a really good idea to back it up
onto your own USB every so often, just incase!
If you loose work then you may be asked to make it again and this will slow you
down and mean that you might get behind within this project.
4 – GRADING
This project will be graded focusing on the following things:
The practical work
•
Skills and accuracy within programming and game construction
•
Creativity within ideas and visual appeal of your game
•
Organisation and Planning throughout the project
Theory work
