The Hungry Hungry Alien

Rose Bernardine

I wanted to make it so that an alien had to collect something and I thought of Donuts and then something that is the opposite of donuts which is Veggies to be the thing that causes it to lose points.

Game Challenges

Figuring out how to make the veggies drop and get points and negative points. Another challenge was trying to get the veggies and donuts not be on top of each other so that it wouldn't mess up the points.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted to make different levels, like maybe for every five points the alien gets bigger to make it harder to miss the Veggies, Adding more things to get more points.

Game Next Steps

Getting the different characters during different levels, also changing how fast the alien moved to make it harder to get points.

MMU CS Overview

Mount Mansfield Union High School currently offers two Computer Science courses:

AP Computer Science Principles (CSP)
Computer Science Discoveries (CSD)

Deprecated and replaced by CSD in 2019:

Introduction to Computer Science and Principles (ICS+P)

Most years, the final four to six weeks of each of these courses is spent designing and building a game. Some students work independently while others work with a partner. In the Spring of 2020 and Fall of 2021, students did not have the time to build a game because of the covid pandemic lockdown. Their final projects for class were uploaded instead, and many of these projects are not games but are still very impressive.

Many of the games were created in Scirra's Construct 2 (Windows based) or Construct 3 (web based), although some utilized Scratch or Python or another programming language. Other students choose a project in robotics or with Arduino programming, but they did not create a stand-alone program that could be placed in this accumulation of programs.

There are several excellent games from 2014 that have not been put into the Game Table, so be sure to check them out!
