 * Entry 1**

This week was the first week of creating the game so i started off collecting the sprites for the game. I needed a few car sprites and I needed them to be overhead views. I went onto google and searched for cars sprites and i got many pages, I used a sprite page with about 30 cars from an old driving game. Next I needed Some road, building and scenery sprites. I found some really good road sprites from the same game as before.


 * Entry 2**

Now that I had the sprites for the game I needed to start coding the game. In the game i make there are going to be two versions of the game on that is a quiz on the road rules and the other will have the player driving around completing road rules. The first thing I coded was the car that the player will control. I made it so that when you pushed Arrow Up you would move in that direction, when you pushed back you would go in reverse and when wou pushed left or right you would turn in those directions. I also messed around with a code that sets the car friction and the speed.

I have now made the game playable and will be placing the download soon.


 * Entry 4**

Because I have done so much on the car driving side of the game I started to make the quiz side of the game. The first thing I did was go on the internet and do some research abut what drivers need to learn about the road rules. I went to the RAA website and there was a section there where your can learn about the give way rules(click on research).


 * Entry 5**

I have made a few questions about the road rules, they have a picture of a road in an overhead view and uasally has two cars turning and the player has to click which one should give way in they get it right they gat a point if they get is wrong they lose a point.


 * Entry 6**

I have now made some of the quiz and the driving part of the game and I am now working on the menu of the game so it looks more proffesional. I need to get the fonts right and choose the right background.


 * Enrty 7**

The Menu is almost finished and now I hvae added some more question andout the road rules.


 * Entry 8**

I have made some objectives on the driving side of the game which include parking, stopping at redlights, driving somewhere following the road rules and giving way to the right cars. I have also added a few more questions to the quiz part of the game. Questions like, What does this sign mean and I would have a picture of a stop sign or a giveway sign. I will try to have the game have as many questions as I can think of.


 * Entry 9**

I have made some improvements with the game, I have made it that when you enter the game a menu comes up and has buttons like quiz, game, and quit etc. When you click on the buttons you go to the joining room of the game. I also gave the game a background image.


 * Entry 10**

I have changed the game a little and now the car is better to control. I have set up a practise track that has cones outlining the track and when you hit these cones they are knocked down. The cones add some realism to the game because when they are knocked down they look realistic.


 * Entry 11**

I have added some particle effects to the game so that when you hit other cars or walls some sparks fly off and also when you hit some water it splashes up.

I have finished the game and will be putting itont he space soon, I ade it so that there are five challenges about the road rules., it has things like turning at the right time, navigating through traffic, going through intersectiona etc. The menu is pretty basic because i had to rush at the end. I hope you enjoy the game.
