Topic: Maize Game

Summary:
Before school came to an end, in our AP Computer Science A class, we were given an end of year project which was to create a game using the Greenfoot software. I was paired with two other classmates and we assigned roles and sections for us to complete before the deadline before the deadline so that we could compile the project and submit it.
For our project, we decided to create a maze game where the player has to navigate the main character through the maze and reach the destination star. As it might be evident in the starting image above, we selected to theme our game as space.

Illustration of the game:
As the rules page highlights, this game, at the starting page, has a sentence that introduces the player to the game saying, “Welcome to the Maize Game!” (The misspelling of the word maze as maize was an unintentional error…..) Below that, there are two buttons that says RULES and START. The RULES button takes the player to the rules page that looks like this:

The How to Play section illustrates how to play the game and the Rules section is a “humorous” illustration of the rules as for our game, apart from not hacking it, there are no rules. You simply have to follow the instructions and you will be fine. At the bottom of the rules page, there is also a button that sends the player to the game page which looks like this:

This is the game page!!!

As you can see, there are obstacles that create the maze for the player to navigate through and at the top left hand side of the page, there is a part that indicates the amount of time that the player has spent playing the game. At the bottom right hand side, there is the HP bar the shows the player how many health points the main character, the rocket, has until it explodes and the game ends. When the game ends, and there are two senarios: win or lose, the player it taken to either of the two pages: win page, lose page.

The win page looks like this:

And the lose page looks like this:

After the player is taken to either of the two ending pages, the player can choose to play again or go back the to the home page. (Notice that there are no options to quite the game 🙂 ).

Here is the link to play the game in the greenfoot website.
