Video Games: The Movie

Video Games: The Movie

1. What are some of the reasons video games were successful? What makes a game popular?

    Video games can be successful is because they are telling stories, they fit to everyone in the world, and they let people experience differently from modern life within gaming. They are popular because people are able to change how plots go, and how the ending of stories should look like. In novels, poems, movies, and videos the people are audiences, games provide the opportunity to let them be the editor of this form of literature. 

2. What are some of the reasons why the video game industry crashed in the 1980s?

    The industries at that decade discovered that video game this area can earn much more money than every other areas after seeing the success of Atari. Therefore more and more companies rushing to complete coding games, this decreased the quality of game, and this let them be clear that the thought of consumers at that time would just accept every game they made is wrong. 

3. Do you think video games are a form of art? Why or why not?

    The truth of video games are that they are a form of art. Consumers buy games that have more beautiful landscapes. Nowadays there are more games that are not famous in the performance or operation fluency, people buy games that they can take exclamatory screen shots. For instance, one game I played called Hyper Light Drifter. It is a game that there are plenty of players admire the company that shows the beauty of how pixel games are able to reach.   

4. What is the next evolution in video games? What are the challenges that need to be solved in the next generation of games?

    Next evolution in video games is the augmented reality, which is known as AR. I do not think wearing equipment like glasses is the final result of AR. AR should let players experience that they are freely living in the game they are playing. The specific equipment such as gun or remote controllers that held in hands. My predictions of AR are that there are machines that can feel people's brain wave and can be controlled directly from brain to games without any blockade and experience like the five senses in daily life.

game play CPU How close is your game to the original? What is different? What is the same? i think my version of Pac-man at least 75% close to the original game For the power pill, i change it to be speeding up and gaining more scores than killing robots. Most parts are the same. map, scoring, idea of this game.  What extra or creative details did you change or add to your version of the game? Why did you create these changes? Kodu game lab is a 3D world, so i make a few ladders that player can have more entertainment and more ways to escape from robot.  What difficulties did you have? How did you fix this? I settled the winning score to 375. Each apple has 5 points, and power pill has 20 points.  so... I think the difficulty is medium.  What feedback did your beta testers have for you and how did you implement their suggestions Umm.. Mr Chen did not give me suggestion as long as I successfully complete the speeding system from powe...

Scratch Level 4 - Create Your Own Game

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/192119690/ I have met plenty of different difficulties while coding this game.  I found that the ball always appear in different position and bounce shifty in the game.  Also I find that when the ball touching the blocks, the blocks disappear and the ball go through them like no obstacle in front of it.  I asked Mr. Chen about these questions.  He taught me there is a tool in vector mode of customes option to let ball function normally; and he taught me to place a "wait 0.05 second" before the blocks hide when touching the ball.  I used many different versions of BreakOut on Scratch.  Those include the Atari version.  I take the idea of Atari icon appear when the game start.  I searched the image of GAME OVER online and erased the edges of the image. Overall, this is the project that I combined the different projects' elements in. I would try to add the setting of winning the game and...
