So this is the first game that I've written with Impact, and I must say that I love just about everything about it. Anyway, My game is called Atomos (pronounced AH-TOM-OHS) Redux. The Impact version which I am debuting here is about the 5th iteration of the game. I tried writing it in Processing but the lack of game building tools made it difficult as i had to write just about everything from scratch.
The goal of my capstone is to help teach people the fundamentals of computer programming. The language of choice is of course Javascript. Each level teaches something about the fundamentals of programming: primitives, variables, data structures/objects, loops and logic and finally functions and parameters. The game requires players to collect powerups to learn about the different programming topics, and then complete a short review at the end of the level to progress.
In it's current form it is about 95% complete, still totally playable down to the last level, but missing storyline content and the last (level 5) review isn't yet complete. But I wanted to get the game out there and tested for bugs, accuracy of information, and the like, so when i deploy it in a classroom it is a worthwhile experience for the students.
You can post here or email me at: joe@atomosredux.com. if you find any bugs, have any suggestions to improve the quality of the game (please keep it constructive), find ANYTHING wrong about the information I'm disseminating please let me know. I wrote it mostly out of experience, memory from A.P. Comp. Sci. from high school, and consulted the mozilla javascript reference as well as a couple of other trusted sources, but i want everything to be accurate.
So without further ado... Atomos Redux
You will have to register for a free account, all thats needed is an email address, and it is only so that I can store game progress on the server, instead of just locally.
Go play, have fun, be well.
Thanks in advance to everyone that helps out.
