LadyBugChase

Inspiration

A College Exercise designed to get one thinking about game design and a simple construct to an interestingly addictive game!

How it works

Ladybug eats the winged greenfly (aphid) and gets a point and some energy to its energy bar that is in red at the top of the screen. If the bar returns to zero, the ladybug dies and game over. If the frog eats the ladybug, game over. The winged green fly can hide in the tree and be hard to spot, so focs on the game is paramount.

Challenges I ran into

Not throwing my Mac out the window (enough said) and I got coders block trying to get the timer to reflect in the label for the Ladybug timer. It was nothing that didn't come to be at 3am and problem solved!

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Sticking with it and getting an actual game completed along with NOT throwing my Mac out the window!

What I learned

Use of timer for multiple game control functions and debugging without source code view.
