Today my teacher was not present during my lesson, and so the coding issues I had regarding my mini game could not be followed through with advice on her behalf. I therefore used my lesson time today to create an option for the score page allowing the user to 'finish' the programme and bring the child onto a final scene which shows bunny waving, saying goodbye and thanking the user for getting her home and hopes they had fun doing so. This will be the final page of the storybook and will have no links to another page, it will be at this point that the child will have to close the programme in order to stop the storybook. My final page features a brief animation of the word 'congratulations' changing colour from one letter to another as the 'bunny waving' animation from the very first scene of the home page, is again used here to indicate bunny waving goodbye. The coding issues I have are as followed:
In the mini game I am unable to issue a code onto the 'finish' button that allows it to recognise when all variables are true, not just one. At present the game will proceed forward if just one blue egg is touching the blue basket, I will need my teacher's help to help me understand how to make my code not proceed onto the next scene unless all variables are true.
Secondly, I wish to score the users based on the time they took to complete the game. I will need to research if I can find a way to transfer the final time on the mini game to the score game and display it on the screen, using this I will then categorise the scores. I will use testers to play my game to work out an average scoring time in order to create realistic boundaries and ensure that my users can reach the top score bracket relatively easily.
I have now finished my entire storybook, and the minigame is progressing well with only some coding issues to fix before my entire project has reached completion. I hope that using time next week when my teacher is back at school on our Tuesday and Thursday lessons will provide me with enough help to finally complete my Flash project and begin work on the documentation that will accompany it at the handover.
