Game Awards

Most fun- Megan
Most difficult- Steven
Most creative- Garrett

What was done differently than what you did in my own game- Garrett had moving objects which I did not have and I thought that was cool.
What might I incorporate into my game that I saw- I liked the backgrounds and the moving objects.
Describe another way the game could have been programmed using the same theme- I could have had a timer and moving objects to make my game more difficult

Final Game

Maze Game


  • How you began the layout of the game
I began the layout of the game by physically making the mazes on each 3 backdrops, then adding in walls to make it harder for the sprite to get through the maze.
  • What challenges you encountered and how you worked through or solved the problems
A challenge was making the screen say you win or you lose depending on the score. Another challenge was making sure the sprite could actually fit through the maze.
  • How you tested it
I tested it by going through the whole game (all 3 mazes) with the scenario of winning and losing to make sure it worked
  • Did the game work as you intended.
Yes it did work
  • What are you most proud of in your game?
I am most proud that when you complete each level by touching the yellow star it goes to the next level with an increase or decrease in points. I am also proud of the actual mazes I made.
  • What are you disappointed with if anything?
The only thing I am disappointed with is that the screen is not big enough to make a very complex maze

CES Assignment

1. Bailey Kingman- 3D printers
2. Julia Looby- Sleep Tracker
3. Nicole Sayman- Radar Pace
4. Nicole Brussard- HiMirror
5. Lucas M.- Aira Visual Interpreter for the Blind

The most interesting one I found was the Aira Visual Interpreter for the Blind that Lucas wrote about. This gadget is interesting because it can help blind people find their way around. These sunglasses will sell very well because it can help everyone with sight disabilities so it will always be for sale in stores. These sunglasses will never go "out of style" or lose their popularity because someone will always benefit from them. I have not seen any product like this yet so I think it could be a very popular item now and in the future.

Consumer Technology Association

The Basic model (left) and the Plus model (right), which includes different lighting settings so
The HiMirror is a smart mirror, one of the world's first. This product is for anyone who wears make up or who's work relates to it. The basic mirror costs 189 dollars and it is touch screen. The mirror takes a picture of the users face and examines their skin. When it examines the users skin, it takes in complexion, sun damage, pores, and wrinkles. The mirror then recommends different make up products to use and gives routines to help fix the problems. The second model is the plus model. This costs 259 dollars and it has LED makeup lighting for different settings in the environment. The plus model also has more memory storage, which records and tracks skin analysis results. A smaller 50 dollar hand held device is also sold and connects to the HiMirror. This is one of the first smart mirrors and it can improve and make lives easier.

Your Android device's Pattern Lock can be cracked within five attempts

Image result for android phone
Image result for android phone pattern unlockThis article explains how people can hack into Android phones when the phone is set with a pattern lock. This system is preferred by most Android users, but researchers from Lancaster University, Northwest University in China, and the University of Bath found out that attackers of phones can unlock the phones with pattern lock within the five attempts that a given before the phone locks, by using video and computer vision algorithm software. The person who has the phone and is trying to unlock it can unlock the phone by "covertly videoing the owner drawing their pattern lock shape to unlock their device, and the attacker can use the software to quickly track the owner's fingertip movements relative to the position of the device." This shows that people need to be more careful with their devices, or even use the originally four-pin-passcode that is present on most devices. Computer science can be used to help someone unlock their phone if they forge their password, or it can help someone else get access into a phone that is not their's.
