CRITERION C - PLAN

PLAN THE PRODUCT / SOLUTION:

                       

Step One

Task: Find out about the platform im working with (KODU), experience how to create a world (environment for Kodu later)                                                                                      

Date due:               

Process: Kodu is quite easy to work with and easy to understand, too, so that i have no problem understanding how it basically works. The interface is user-friendly and very nice to work with, even tough i should not waste that much time with navigating trough the menu or the options and select the right one. What i will experiment with different grounds and how to create hills and water.

Step Two

Task: Program the first Kodu                                                                                                      

Date due:               

Process: In my opinion, the programming is quite complicated, because ive never created a game before or even worked with Kodu or a similar programm, so ill have to get into programming first. i have to keep in mind to be logical and think in context. I will make Kodu move and navigate trough the game.

Step Three

Task: add opponent + little "helper"-Kodu that gives instructions right at the beginning of the game                                                                                             

Date due:               

Process: I will have to add an opponent and programm him AND kodu to make them interact to make the game harder and not that boring.
The little "Helper"-Kodu is there to give instructions and make the destination of the game easier. It will explain how to navigate Kodu through the game.

Step Four

Task: add destination                                                                                                 

Date due:               

Process: i will add a destination, an aim that ends the game when reached, in this case a star that says the german translation for "Hello".

Step Five

Task: finish piece as best as possible                                                                                                  Date due: 13th of December 2011 

Process: I will add two more stars that say two other words that are NOT the german translation for "Hello" to teach german better, because the kid that plays the game will have to chose a star. If its the right star that says the right translation, the kid wins. If not, he looses.

Step Six

Task: evaluation and respond to the evaluation                                                                              

Date due: 20th December 2011    

Process: I will respond to the evaluation (the comments on my blog) and evaluate what people wrote about my game.
