Project #7 - Bitmap Game

Objective

Design and code a bitmap game that tells an aspect of your own story.

Submission

Proposal

I want to create a bitmap game that is an autobiographical game that tells the story of my journey through all the different places I've lived in my life so far. There will be 3 game scenes that follow the path from ages 0-10, 10-20, and 20-25 (my current age). With each scene, the main character (me) will journey to revisit all the locations. There will be different locations in each scene, and a total of 13 locations. I want to overlay the character and locations on top of a map, and the character will navigate the map through the up/down/left/right arrows.

Reflection

My bitmap game is an autobiographical game that tells the story of my journey through all the different places I've lived in my life so far. I had a lot of fun coding this (except the one time I actually left the p5 editor before saving :~((((( ). I feel like this is the first time I've really grasped classes and 2d arrays, as I used them quite frequently. I also used a TON of arrays, since the basic game goals are repeated from scenes 1 to 3. I feel like my coding proficiency effectively using classes/objects has solided through this game as practice, and I'm excited to carry on this proficiency to other projects in the future.
