Week 10 Post Mortems

Describe the project? Our game is call Virus a hidden objects puzzle game. The player must collect
five chemical vials in order, to create a cure to stop the virus from spreading. The player have five
minutes to locate five chemical vials.

If the player do not collect all five chemical vials within five minutes the game will end. The player failed the missions the game over/lose screen will pop up.

My role programmer I had to write the code for the game to work. I export all the objects into the level. I put bounds box, the collision box on all objects in the game. I made the codes for the win and the game over screen.

what went right? the player can pick up all five objects. the objects are deleted when found. The names of the objects chemical vials, beaker, lighter, temperature gauge and pills are deleted from
the list. The win screen and the lose/game over screen work.

What went wrong? the count down clock I have not figure out the correct program code for the
game to end in five minute. I went online to Garage games the make of Torque for answers.
they said to put the code in the client.cs files. I ask my instructor Ms. Amanda Lange for answer

She said the code goes into the server.cs file. I put the code in both files. This did not solve the
problem the game will end in five minutes. I am disappointed the count down clock does not end
the game in five minute.

What would I do differently? not make fifty game.cs files. I would make one file and name it game objects.cs and place all fifty objects into it. This will save time and coding time.

Week 9

what stages of the project am I on and how is it progressing? I am on the final stage of the project. I have coded all items needed for the game, I have exported them into the level.

How or what could I improve? I could have created an Items.cs file that list all the object to make the game. I did not do it and it took weeks to make each object cs file.

How did I deal with the problems that came up? I changed the name on one of the object from camera to picture taking and it did not work in Torque, so I could not use the object.

What is working? the count down clock, the player can pick up the five hidden objects.

What is not working? I have to figure out how to remove the object name on the list, when the player finds an object. I am going to work on it during the week.

I enjoy my time on this project it is a new project, I might be the first student making a hidden object game in torque at this school.
I have no problems with my team member Jamal.
