2D games. Geometry Dash

Geometry Dash is a mobile game, in order to play the game you must tap the screen to make the object jump. Each time you click the screen you jump once and if you hold it you jump twice. Throughout the game you hear music playing in the background, which goes with the obstacles and movement of the game.

I chose to do Geometry Dash as my 2D game because it does have a specific crucial moment. Right before you hit the obstacles, being platforms or spikes. You have just a split second to hit the screen, cause if you hit it too early you screw up the jump and you die. As for a second too late, you miss your chance and you run straight into the obstacle effectively killing you. Once you die, you also start the whole game over so as a goal you really want to get it done in one shot.

The game teaches you when to properly jump and when to do it in order to survive. Each time you die you learn what not to do for the next time. Its really just a large game of die and repeat.

Different Paths

The location that I have chosen to do is of the building York. The reason I chose the building is because there are many ways to get to the dorm. Each path gives you a different feeling and a different way to look at the building itself. Let's start with the first of the paths.

The first path is from the front of the building where the main building sign is in view. As you pull up to the building a large elegant entrance. It gives the appearance of being large and most certainly a regal sight. It gives the people as they approach that true High Point experience.

Coming from the right side of the building you will be noticing, that the door is rather smaller and appears to be more likely for those who currently live in the building. It is normally surrounded by different flowers and tables giving the illusion of an apartment feel. It's obviously not the main entrance and it is the one that is most used by the students.

From the rear of the building you will notice, it also has a similar appearance to the front with the large sign hanging above the door. However the parking lot in the back of the building, shows how little people who come just for a day or so go to the back. With the vehicles moving at all hours of the day it is more of a fearful path from classes and back to your room.

Puzzle ideas

Puzzle ideas

1. A simple game similar to that of a puzzle. The pieces I would have had to cut out or something like that but it the end its still just going to be a puzzle.

2. Another idea for a puzzle type game would have to be riddles. I like riddles, at the same time I know how frustrating they can be. They are sometimes more of a nuisance that anything.

3. Trial puzzles are harder to do for non digital puzzles. You would need so many options in order to do those puzzles and as far as non digital games. I wouldn't be impossible to do but it would just be a pain to create in comparison to other types of games that are out there.

4. Mazes are an easy form of puzzles. You just find your way to the exit although it may not be as easy as some many people would say. You can make them super hard or super easy just based upon what is the creators preference.

5. Building puzzles are also rather difficult to do as a non digital puzzle. Where you combine two pieces to create a whole new piece but that doesn't mean it isn't impossible. However if you don't have someone who knows how to combine two things, they you are kind of out of luck.
