AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL GAME

Game Description

This game is based off many of my childhood memories about baking cookies One of my mom's common beliefs are that you are not allowed to go to someone's house without bringing anything. Due to this rule, I would always bake cookies.

The player has to go through all the steps to make the exact same kind of chocolate chip cookies that I would use to make when I was younger.

Storyboards

To create all the visuals for my game, I used Adobe Illustrator and drew out what I wanted each item and frame to look like.

Assignment Reflections

Honestly, this assignment was really difficult for me to complete because of time limitations. I had many more ideas that I wanted to add, like the ability to stir the pot and the bowl. However, eventhough I didn't add every functionality that I intended, it still took me a considerable amount of time to draw every element and code what I have. One of the hardest parts was the array for the ingredients scene and getting the next button to appear when the player selects the right ingredients.

Another part that was difficult was getting the burner and pans to interact the way I wanted them too. I originally wanted to implement a timer, so that when time passed, the butter would melt; however, I couldn't get this to work for some reason. So I just simplified it to mousePressed.

I was afraid of doing the mix scene, so I saved it for last, but luckily it was much easier than I thought. On the other hand, I thought the baking scene would be easy, but because of my initial idea of including the timer, it didn't work out the way I had planned.
