Planning

Planning was one of the most important parts of this project as I wanted to make sure I thought of a game that I could create and used the best of my actionscript skills. It was also important that I kept to the specification that Chris had given us to ensure I fulfilled all the points.

After looking at some games on the internet I had a couple of ideas of what I wanted to do. I knew the game had to be bright and colourful, there are so many games out there available to the user that making sure mine stood out was crucial and making the more colourful also makes it more appealing to play and gives the user a better experience.

My first idea was to do a demolition derby style game or a racing game. I was put off this idea as the area of motorsport games is a very popular and competitive one and i did not want to make a game that has probably been made a thousand times before. I wanted to do something a bit different.

I finally decided on my bubble popping underwater game after having another look on the gaming websites. I thought the concept of the game was simple so users of any age would be able to play it without any practise or previous experience, the graphics would be easy to create and I could create something that was really colourful and appealing to the eye.

I began by choosing the underwater scene and the fish. I decided on my final choice because they were fun cartoons and made the game instantly look brighter and more appealing.
