So Make School - a programming school based in California - is running a contest of sorts for people to create apps. I learned about it pretty late in the process and I'm still a beginner in all coding, I really doubt I will win anything, especially when there's people in their 20s submitting, but I still wanted to submit. After all, it's good experience, perhaps a few people will see my game after all, and there is a raffle prize so who knows? You're allowed to submit projects that you had started before the competition actually did, making me wish I had looked into app design earlier. The game I'm making is a simple app called Color Car. It's a simple scrolling avoid-the-objects game. "It's the future and self driving cars are about, but due to people being sucked into their virtual worlds, the roads are a mess! Lucky for you, the world is also digitized, and by changing the frequency of light (color) that your car is on, you can go straight through the obstacles!" I originally intended for it to be a simple web game due to the need to be able to press many different buttons, but as of now I've modified the controls to make it work on mobile by making the car self-driving, and you just change the colors to go through obstacles. I'm doing what I can from memory and referencing the tutorials I have already completed for the rest. The touchscreen controls are really throwing me off right now though, so I need to work on that. Otherwise it is coming along pretty smoothly so far, though I'd like to add much more than I'll probably have time for to fit in the deadline. There's not much else to say about it as of now, so here's some of the artwork so far. I've had some perspective issues with it so far, but since it's not a very realistic game, I think it's better in this case to have icons that are easy to understand instead of super realistic ones. However, I will keep it in mind as something I need to improve on: I'll make another post later once I've made some more progress and hopefully I'll have the link to where you can upvote it and play it!
