Ildsjel















Seeing as Pacman is such a big part of retro gaming it would not be right and leave it out, especially when this word ildsjel fits perfectly with the purpose of the Pacman character. Ildsjel, Means an individual in a community that puts everything in to do the collective good of the community such as cleaning up or organising events. Packman dedicates his life essentially to cleaning up this board. I have personalised the board to say ildsjel in the borders of it and it's difficult to read initially but once you've cleaned it's quite easy. The word would, therefore, be hidden within the game but still visible all the time. I initially made the game in colours, but the rest of the screens are in black and white with one colour sorry did it too black and white design as he still sees the elements it's not really important to have the colour differences. I spend most of my time creating the grid and getting it all to fit inside and then animating 15 seconds at a time in the frame by frame animation. It took so long. I figured out a way to make the word makes sense but not the obvious, and you kinda have to work for it to understand what you were after even though there's a clue underneath the Route. I made animation so it showcases start screen flickering 1st and then started playing coz you can have to log into it and then people who start reading the text before the game you get the description of the word she would be could be able to guess it. This has been such pain I initially didn't think I'd animate it but I got it in my head that I could do it so hey we are, it's not great And I spent I think about 7 hours just animating everything frame by frame And I don't think it's good enough for the time spent on it, to be honest.


I feel like I could have done better, I somewhat wished that I spend more time developing a few screens instead of creating broad view of what the whole week would be like. Awesome learning whilst ago here I don't know that much about animation but I do still want to learn. I very much prefer the black and white design too as it stands out from the original design of Pacman

Animation

  Since I'm the most proficient in animation out of my group I volunteered to make the animation. We decided to animate as it would easi...
