Dig Dug v.S&T

Inspiration

I was researching a bunch of easy games they I could do and submit for multiple categories. Then very randomly I remembered how much I love Dig Dug. I was going to make it exactly them same theme but that felt unoriginal. Since Pats has been happening and more events start Monday, I thought this would be the perfect theme.

What it does

If you've ever played Dig Dug it's the same mechanics. You move to try to kill the clover and snake to gain points. The A+ is more points but be careful to avoid the falling tests.

How we built it

I used scratch and block code to create this. I found and edited all the pictures too. I used a tutorial on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_roYpvHNXU) to help me since I have no experience in scratch and did not know where and how to start.

Challenges we ran into

The tutorial was detailed but did not have all the components I needed to finish the game and did not match with what I had already created. I originally was going to try using Melonjs and JavaScript, both I have no experience with but I wanted to be kind to myself and start with something easier. I also have the correct code in theory but I can not seem to make it end after everything has been killed.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am super proud of everything I've completed and worked through. I have never made anything from scratch or with scratch so this was a brand new and mind bending challenge.

What we learned

I learned Scratch, the how to of starting a project, and even a little graphic design. It was also interesting to use block code and have it be so simplified, it made it kind of tricky to wrap my brain around.

What's next for Dig Dug v.S&T

I'm going to be making sure everything is in order and works in every circumstance.
