=Game Progress= So far we have added heaps of interesting stuff to the game. When you first start the game, an image of Ronaldinio (the world's best player) pops up with a (press enter) sign underneath. After you've pressed enter, you should be able to enter the game. After you've entered the game you will see a blue team and a yellow team, the blue team is France and the yellow one is Brazil. The flags will also pop up alonside the teams. We have a time up in the middle of the game amd on the left corner the team's names appeares. As usual there are 22 players on the field including the two goal keepers. The golies move from the left side of the goal to the right to block the ball from going in.

game progress until 23/10/2006
Our game is getting harder and more interesting as we keep working on it. The game is getting bigger. We have added sprites, sounds, backgrounds, objects and a few rooms. When you first start the game, the game tells you to 'press enter', after you've pressed enter, you can safely enter the game. Ok let's see how this action works. Information about object: button Sprite: sprite7 Solid: false Visible: true Depth: 0 Persistent: false Parent: Mask:

Key Press Event for  Key: go to next room with transition effect Create from center In the Events section we had to do this, we clicked on [Add Event], chose (Key Press) and selected  and in the Actions section we had the action (go to next room). This is how it works when we first start our game, it says press enter and when you press enter, you will be able to enter the game.

We have nearly finished our game but we still need to work on the educational part. We are working on the educational part.

Week 6
The most important thing in the game is the educational department. The aim of this game is to teach the person the rules of soccer and how these rules work. Some of the soccer rules include the off-side rule, the thow-in rule etc. In the game we will also teach the person how a foul occurs and what happens when the players gets a yellow or a red card. After we have finished with most of the rules, we will provide you with the screenshots of the rules.

Week 7
We are so close to finishing everything in our game including the educational department which in our case was to teach the learner some soccer rules. We have finished the off-side rule so let's see how we did this rule. Okay we first selected the event [collision event with object] with the following actions: The first action was (draw a text) with the text 'is this offside?' Then we selected the action (set the color) to '16711680' and we selected the (draw a text) action with the text to 'A) yes' again. After this we had the action (set the color) again and this time the color was set to 65535 then for the third time the action (draw a text) action with the text to 'B) No'. For the last time we selected the action (set the color) and we set the color to 65535 again. Briefly we had the actions (draw a text) and (set the color) three times each. Then after these actions we had the action (Execute a piece of code) with the following text. if keyboard_lastkey==ord('A') draw_text(0, 0, "you are right, congratulations")

offside=show_question('Is this offside?')

if offside show_message('thats so bad man my son could do better'); else show_message('yes yes your not so bad after all press A to go next room ');

After this action we had (set direction and speed of motion) both set to = 0. Then underneath the event [collision event with object] we had the [press ] event with the action (move towards point) with x:(100494).x, y:(100494).y and the speed set to 3.

It was a bit hard and complicated to do but we still managed to do it. This is how we got the off-side rule done and below is a successful screenshot of the off-side rule.



Let me tell you how it works. When you press space the ball moves to the selected player, after the player has recieved the ball, the question 'is this off-side' appeares on the screen. As you can see that obviously the player who has recieved the pass is off-side. So when the person playing the game selects 'A) yes', they'll get the right answer and it tells them that it's correct and also says press A to go to next room in other words it goes to the next rule. But if the person selects 'B) No' it'll say 'good you're right for the first time in your life'. So the off-side rule finished, hopefully this will teach the person something more about soccer.

This is our game progress so far and we've done the yellow and red card rules as well and I'll provide more rules next week.

Week 8
Okay this is the last week and we have to get everything done in our game. Our game is mainly done.

One of the most important part of soccer is when the refferee makes the decision for a foul play. When a serious foul occurs by a player, the refferee has to make the decision of either giving the him a card or not giving him a card. There are two kinds of cards red card and yellow card. A player is given a red card for very serious foul play or swearing at the refferee and a yellow card is given to a player for voilent language, serious foul or pushing a opponent, two yellow cards in a game results to a red card, sometimes it depends on the refferee because different refferees make different decisions.

To help the learner we have provided information about the cards and explained to them how and when the cards are given. Then we have four cards lined up in a room, a red, yellow, orange and green card. Then we ask quetions like 'which card immediatley results in sending off' and the learner has to type the card's name and click ok, if they get the right answer then they move on to the next question but if they get the wrong answer they have to keep trying to get the right answer and move onto the next question.

this is a screenshot of the cards rule.



Okay we managed to do the off-side rule and the yellow and red card rule and hopefully the person playing the game likes the game and learns something about soccer.

This is the latest version of our game as of 21/06/2006
