This Tuesday and the 8th of September Leyla and I have been creating a game about Te Maro. Te Maro was a gardener of 16 gardens. He had to be a great gardener to look after all those gardens! He was shot by captain cook and captain cook put blue beads on Te Maro. Our game was about how he had to look after all his gardens then go home. As soon as I showed my Mum the first thing she asked was why the rats gave you lives. Well I can tell you now. We were actually getting rid of the rats. Also we could not complete the game with only 3 hearts!
We enjoyed drawing Te Maro. We enjoyed drawing Te Maro because he did not take much time. We also enjoyed making the chest and house. They were all as easy as each other.
We found it hard to make the canoe. We found it hard to make the canoe because we drew a canoe but it was to small. so we had to make a just brown block and draw a canoe on the tile map instead of drawing it in new tile.
Our digital learning object shows that we can learn how to make a game on makecode arcade. It also shows that I can take a screenshot of my code and share my game.

ReplyDeleteI work in schools like Mrs Torrie does.
Great to see your code and I'm impressed with your game. I wasn't very good at it as I only scored 6! How long did it take you write and debug the code?

DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog.
The highest score you can get is 24. It took two days to write the code. Thank goodness we got to code in pairs!

Kylah, these was great and detailed reflections on your time at Tōnui Collab. We thoroughly enjoyed supporting you and Leyla and all the other game developers. You demonstrated strong perseverance throughout the workshops and we hope you continue to code for different purposes. Shanon and the Tōnui Collab team.

ReplyDeleteI really like your video game, it's tricky to get Te Maro home!
This reminded me of when I tried to make a game on scratch,
Next time you could tell us how to open the chest,

Hi Kylah,
ReplyDeleteIt's Mac from Tonui here! I'm so glad that a little birdie told me about your blog and this post. I was so happy to read about how much you enjoy coding. It is a huge adventure and I hope that you continue to develop your skills and ideas and branch out into all sorts of ways to apply code. All the best as you continue to dive into your coding development.
Regards,
Mac

Is the little birdie Shanon? I have already started making the 2 player game like you asked. I will tell you when it is finished.

Ni hao Kylah,
ReplyDeleteI loved the graphichs of your game. Which do you prefer to use - Scratch or MakeCode Arcade? Why?
I have a question about Captain Cook - why did he put blue beads on Te Maro after he shot him? I would also like to know why Te Maro had 16 gardens to look after.

Ni hao Mrs Naden,
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog. I like to use MakeCode Arcade because I like pixel games better then normal games.
I don't actually know why he put blue beads on Te Maro and why he had 16 gardens because not much is known about him.
Mā te wā,
