29April2013

As we enter the final 2 weeks of Spring 2013, I would like to share some thoughts from scoring the individual 2D games and quickly review a good summary of the general "art" of game design and implementation from Jesse Schell.

Give full credit for resources and ensure your own credit

Jesse Schell is a well respected author, professor and game designer

Bb allows large files to be uploaded.
Several students submitted multiple copies of their 2D game. It is important to have different file names for these updates. I have been changing the name of the file to be LastNameFirstName_name-used-by-student.zip 

Assign#5 - Zip file of your Clean Build of 2D game - due 22March - use this item to upload "unlimited" size zip file

Be sure to include a readme file, or other document, to provide instructions on playing your game and giving credit for the resources you incorporate in your game.  Please follow the instructions for creating Clean Build/zip-file.  Your game must have an initial Splash Screen identifying author (you), game name and brief instructions for use.
