June 18
On this last class I added the finishing touches to do game, and wrapped the project.
Like other days I continued following the platform video series on Youtube:

But I also looked at this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmnaOLI6RzE
Unlike my original plan, I decided to make it a 1 stage game, where the player tries to kill all the enemies, and reach the chest, but as the score gets higher the game's difficulty increases.
I had an issue with a code, because the Game Maker version of the tutorial was different than mine. Instead of writing (instance_create_layer) to create a bullet, I had to write (instance_create).

Final Project - Complete
Final Project Link:

I also created sprite sheets, and backgrounds:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S76GDV6wzo5-a39XSF7NhDShBKGI6Aov
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1trOTboHAFYgFNs9T1S30HqsmyZJqGwCT
How to play:
By clicking the mouse you can shoot the enemies.
The arrows on the right side of the keyboard
or the buttons (a for left) and (d for right) ( I made two options, to make it easier to control):
allow you to walk and the space bar makes you jump
If you collide into an enemy the game will restart from the current room.
The goal was to shoot the enemies and once all of them were down, the player would win. However I wasn't able to make the code work, I tried many different methods and looked up tutorials on the internet, but nothing fixed the problem. One of the codes I attempted to write was:
if instance_create (x,y, obj_enemyD)
{
score = score + 1
}
if score = 6;
{
game_end();
draw text (x/2, y/2, "Game Win!")
}

Video series I followed:

Most of the other tutorials I used were on pixel design, sprite sheet creations and animation:

This specific tutorial was for cutscenes and animation:

There are many parts of the game where I applied my own ideas, especially the graphics.
I think my project proposal was more complicated than I had expected and would've taken a couple more classes to finish, and I was unable to fully finish it.
But I put a lot of effort into the game and graphics, there were drawings and cut scenes that I had finished but was unable to put into my game, such as the title, where I had made a series of drawings and animations to tell the story of the game. But there were other parts of the game which was able to incorporate into my game.
I drew all of the images, sprites, animations and backgrounds, also created the storyline (which I didn't have time to place into the final product, but is present in the sprite and object tabs), and wrote some code by myself, such as adding music, player's life, and having the game restart once the player collided with enemies.
Since I wasn't able to completely finish the game, I hope you are able to mark my game focusing more on the graphics and process, instead of the gameplay and the final product.

During my project creation I used reference images, these are some of them:

June 14
I'm finishing the game, and I will hand it in on Monday. Today I worked on coding, and created a couple more sprites and background changes. I'm still following that series, but am making changes to the visuals, and fixed a couple of bugs.
Series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCeyiEcWRAs
One of the bugs I had was that: when I created the script to change the sprite's direction to move to the left, the image became slim and distorted. To fix this, I multiplied that line of code by 6, so that the image grew to it's regular size rather than shrinking.

Continued coding the game. I'm following this series on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNXbMdu348
Since the due date is on Friday, I'll probably spend time on this project after school, because I'm a little behind on my schedule, but I'll try to finish it by Friday. I expect to continue with this same task next class.
I had some problems today with coding, I had added a (+) for the variable's movement, when I should've added * (multiply) instead, so that the object only moves when the keyboard buttons assigned to each movement is pressed.

Today I was working in game maker, trying to create the intro and title to my game. But I was having some difficulty with this, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the game exactly as I had planned, I'll probably have to make some adjustments so that I can finish it by next week. Possibly changes to story, I won't make it too complicated and, and levels, just 1 platform game instead of having various levels.

I began my coding for the game, specifically the movements of my character. Next class I'll continue with the coding in Game Maker.
I experienced some challenge in trying to create the different movements and states of objects, but I think I might not use states for my object because it's not necessary.
Today I used the following video tutorials:

Continued with the sprite sheets, finished them. I'm not sure if I'll add some images in the start of the game. Next class I'll finish up some pixel art and will start to work in game maker. Didn't experience any bugs today.
