Journal Entry 8

Date: 2025-05-06

Activity:

• made the basic part of Project C

Notes:

I though that today (2025-05-06) will be a consultation class, so when I found out yesterday that the whole build must be finished, I rushed the project so that it is at least somewhat playable.

The goal of the game is to survive until the timer on top of the screen in the middle reaches zero. In order to survive, your hunger bar (top left) cannot run out. To increase the value in hunger bar, you must find enough fruit crystals: however, they have temporary effects on your body:

• blue crystal fruit has positive effects
• red has negative effects
• green has no effects

Effects include:

• increased/decreased speed/jump height/nutritional value of fruit
• camera flipped in order to make movement more challenging
• hunger bar runs out faster

Because the miscommunication about the deadline, only the most basic features are included. HOWEVER, the game isn’t fully functional yet:

• if your hunger bar runs out, you don’t die
• if the timer reaches zero, you don’t win
• so if the two above situations happen and you want to play again, refresh the page
• everything that feels clunky will be fixed, but I had to publish something vaguely playable.

Invested Hours:

• 15 hours (Project C)
