week5–Comics Project Documentation Jialu

After decided that we are going to make a room escape game, the first thing we did was designing our plot. At first, we made the plot quite complicated, but latter we realized that the coding would be too advanced for me and Steve and the work load would be incredibly huge. So, we simplified the plot a little bit without altering the essence of the whole game.

Then we used photoshop to make the background of our game room. At first, we wanted to just use the 4 walls of the group study room in the school library as our background. But after seeing the photo we took of the group study room, we decided not to use the whole wall, instead we just cropped out some elements we need (posters, dB machine, door, windows etc.) and abandoned the rest of the things. We tried to find a nice picture of wall on the Internet but failed, so we just drew a wall by ourselves and put all the elements on the wall we drew.

We decided to put every element in one picture since it is more complicated to move a picture around over another picture. Other than that, we didn’t encounter much difficulties when coding. Justin is really good at coding, so most of the time I just sat beside him and watch how he coded. I think that’s also a great way of learning and I learned a lot from him and Steve.
