 Before we start…

What does a typical game needs?

Let’s use the following game as an example:

First, the player (us) needs to be able to control something.

In the game above, the player is the girl who is holding a bat.

Second, game objects are needed to react to the player.

In the game above, these game objects are the random items that rush towards the girl.

Most of the game need a winning/losing condition the end the game.

In this game, the player gains a point when he/she hits an object.

The player lose when he/she fails to hit the objects.

A good background gives a better mood to the game.

Good sound effects adds better mood to the game as well.

In this game above, 3 sounds are heard:

1. Background thunder storm

2. Monster’s sound when hit by the bat

3. Bell sound when lose
