Into the Night - K Kerr

About Into the Night - K Kerr Android Game

For this simple game project, I got my inspiration from a TV show that I have been watching called teen wolf. I wanted to do something with dragging since I found that the simplest to use and for me to figure out. I first wanted to do something with drawing on the screen but I found that there was not enough of a story behind it to make the game interesting or intriguing in anyway. That is when I decided to use one of the examples from class that we had about dragging a dog around the screen. I also got the idea of running away from a Werewolf from the show that I watched this made it easier for me to develop the idea of avoiding the werewolf so you don’t get bit! The coding of this took a while to do once I got the human to get dragged around the screen added the werewolf’s in wasn’t very complicated. The main part that long me a very long time to figure out was the switching of the screen from after the human collided with the werewolf, it took multiple tries to get this right using the different procedures and the way the information was phrased until it finally works. Another problem that I was facing when it came to the .apk files was that once it got to the Game Over screen the application would freak-out and eventually crash. The .aia file works fine, so I haven’t solved that problem yet. Other than that the program looks nice and runs smoothly I like the overall look and the entrainment of the game is fun! I definitely learnt a lot more about the coding process and even though my game is simple it was still a long learning process.
