Paper Prototyping

I have completed my paper prototyping on Run & Jump.  The game is about an out of shape guy getting ready for the 5K race.  The goal is to successfully jump the hardles and collect the fruit. If you can't successfully jump the hurdles, the runner eats unhealthy food, causing him to slow down. The game speeds up as you jump the hurdles. The game will have 3 rounds.  

Game Topic

I believe my game topic will consist of running. The goal is to have the runner hurdle obsticles by jumping. The more you jump successfully the more points you earn. However, if you do not manage to jump successfully, you will lose points. If you lose all of your points, it's game over.

What excites me is the fact that I can create a game based on something that I enjoy doing in my spare time. So I am familiar with running and I am definitely looking forward to it.

Games In Free Time

I do play games from time to time when I can. I usually play racing and shooting games. It does give me a new perspective about playing games because I would really like to know how to create them.

Coding In Flash

I am beginning to learn how to code with Adobe Flash for the first time. We are learning the code for a game tutorial. Right now it seems a little difficult, but however with some determination and patience, I can master this achievement.
