Rocks and Diamonds : Conveyor Belt 2

So moving on with designing levels. This is a slightly more involved example of what is possible.

But it does show what is possible with a little planning etc.

Sometimes, it is useful to also sketch out what you would like from a level. This also helps with the design process.

Rocks and Diamonds : Conveyor Belt 1

A conveyor belt can be very useful, move objects towards you, or away for example. They are also a cool way to add a challenge your level.

A basic example

With a slightly more advanced example here

So you need to move the rocks to get to the key.

As digital skills are an essential part of everyday life. I have created, a new blog, to host information to help people out tasks using LibreOffice.

So far this is blog has covered just the Writer component. This may be extended later, as I have some videos for the Calc Spreadsheet.

Adding tables to Overleaf LaTeX document.

I am sharing this, in the hope that it helps to demonstrate my IT skills.

This shows:

  • Creation of a table using tables generator
  • Copying into a LaTeX document in Overleaf
  • Making a few modifications
  • Adding \listoftables to so that it is listed near the end of the document

Rocks and Diamonds : Bombs

So by now you have got the general idea. To expand on Dynamite, there are also bombs. These explode when either dropped or have something dropped on them (e.g a rock)

So here I have already added some more wall and to add to the puzzle element you need to drop the rock on to the bomb. Timing here is important.

As with dynamite, a bomb will destroy the 8 squares around it when detonated.

As an extension to this, lets go the other way round and drop a rock on a bomb, see what happens and fix any issues that come from this.

From this, you see why testing is important. But also making sure you are not making it too easy for the player.

Rocks and Diamonds : Doors and Keys

So on to, doors and keys. In this video I add a wall, a door and a key.

As you can see you need the right key / door combination. So during testing I have found that

  • I was using the wrong door
  • I did not complete the wall fully

So had to go back and make a minor change to this

So this highlights why you need to keep testing. I have left this in, rather than creating the perfect video with no errors.

I also got killed by a falling gem, so again, left this in.
