GJ - Day 4 -PLan

My plan for this day was to 

MAKE A COLONY THAT WORKS 
&
TRY TO HAVE ALL BEFORE THE ROBOTS DIES.

the day before this, since i didn't make all, the robot dead and I couldn't produce it ( I think)

first I made size 4 solar panel, so I wont run out of power.
Then, made water.
And made size 4 wind power so when the solar panel doesnt work, I thought it will produce same amount as solar panel.

made air lock, bio dorm, dorm, canteen

I thought there wasn't enough oxygen so I made another pack of energy sources, oxygen generator and water generator.

I made a port because I wanted more colonist. Since one died because of the meteorite.

However, I did not know there was a trading ship.

I didn't know I needed to make resources.

luckily, the colony ship came to the port and i got a couple of new colonists.

Then next problem occurred that, I wanted to make other structures but no body was working.  I was wondering why.

the sand storm came and  I regretted that i didn't make a big power tank.

While the sand storm was coming, I thought maybe I need to erase the structure so the colonists won't get confused.  So I deleted the ones which were  not made except mine to make some resources.

Then they started to make it, so I learned a new thing.

Now, I started to build the structure to produce metal.

But I needed more metal to build them so I erased the port since i thought i wont need it for a while.

The mine and the another air lock was build. 

finally I had the structures in place.

After that, some people went into the mine and started to make the ore.  After that they went  to the factory and made metal. 

At last the sand storm came and the class finished.

GJ - Day 3 - Review

As soon as I start making my colony, i died.

I have forgotten the basic to start the game.

I placed,

1 oxygen, 1 air lock, 1 power tank, 2 solar panel 

however, I didn't know that it will be dark.

When it started to become dark, solar panel wasn't working.

Eventually, oxygen lacked and colonists died.

So I thought I should go back to the tutorial and learn the basic.

This was how it started so next game I did the exact same thing but adding wind power so I won't lose energy.

so this was how it was like. However, people started to be sleepy so I made a dorm as soon as possible.

since everyone was tired, I made 2 beds.

After getting settled, i made a bio dorm to make food,

I choose potato to get energy and I thought I will need medicine so I also planted medicine.

Next I started to run out power so I made another wind power.

People started to become unhappy and forgot that I did't make a meal cooker.

Then I remember that I need a different dorm to use the medical plant so I planted tomato because I was lacking food.

But they were still unhappy. ( Now I know, I forgot to place TV and a table.)

Then storm came. Then I thought I should of  make power tank because the wind powers were moving a lot.

The storm came for a long time.

After storm went I realized nobody was working outside.

I realized that my bots were outside and they stopped moving.

And the class ended.

I thought next time, first I should make all the basics. Before starting something different.

For example, I made a port, however it was unnecessary for my colony that time.

CD fast cars

166mph 6seat Fast

CD slowest car

CB 100mph 2 seats/ 4 seats/ 6 seats

GJ - Day 2

Let's try the Tutorial

In this tutorial, there is no freedom.

It force you what to do. However, it forces in a positive way.

It teaches you how to start the game step by step.

Let's see what it's like.

first, this tutorial didn't give us an opportunity to choose which planet. The ship landed and 7 people, two robots landed on the planet.
At the beginning, it works on how to change the angle of the visual.

To pan the camera, use WASD key or place the mouse at the edge of the screen.

To rotate the camera, use the QE key　or drag the middle mouse button.

   

  This part talks about the structure of colony ship that it only has limited supplies so need to think what to make.

As this pop up box, it comes out each topic. It gives you information of each things.

After you click “ok” in the box, at the left top, there will be a yellow arrow which directs you what you should do. As I said, there is no freedom, therefore you will need to click on to the things what they want you to click. I thought it is really kind that as you see the yellow circle in the middle, it says “place structure: Oxygen Generator – Pending” It always comes up if you did it are not.

After clicking the yellow circle on the previous picture, now you can choose which structure you want to place ( but here, you need to listen to the directions…)

Now, the structure you want to place will come out. So, since it is a tutorial, it already assigned where to place. Drag it in to the place. In the white circle, it says “use mouse wheel or RF keys" to change the size” I’m assuming that this will be an important tips to play this game.

You can speed the game by clicking the button in the white circle or press + key to do so. You can speed up until ×4

And an important fact, you will need to connect the facilities if you need to. For example, where people will be walking will need oxygen so you will need to connect to the oxygen generator directly or indirectly. In this picture, we will need to connect solar panel and water extractor to produce water by using the energy collected by solar panel. To connect them, just click both facilities one by one and there will be a mark like the one on the left 
so click it and it will be connected.

Now, you will start placing objects in the dorm. To do that, first click the dorm which you will place objects in .

Then the dorm will be surrounded by a line. On the top left there will be a place to click.

Then you can choose the objects to place. If you cannot place, the object will become red. If you want to speed the game remember you can by pressing + key.

Sometimes, you will want to know what is going on inside the dorm. To see inside press tab key or menu button.

Tadaaaa the top disappeared. To put it back, do the same thing.

In this tutorial, you will be recycling the colony ship. If you click on the ship, there will be a button to recycle it.

If you recycle the ship, all the stuff will be out which is not safe. So, first we will build a Mine to store them.

After this, you will be building bio- dorm, factory, medical dorm and at last a port for another ships to land.

After completing these it is done for the tutorial.

Time to move on to your own colony.

Tips

-when I want to move the motion tweet in the frame to other frame, click the motion tweet which I want to move and hold Ctrl  and move it

-it is also possible to drag and copy it to other frame

What I learned

- each button needs a code

- i can make three kinds of  group of actions in one layer

- however, i need to create buttons on different layers ( three button layers)

-don't forget to name the "instant name" for each buttons because they are needed to make codes for the action

-make sure to start from the same the same layer

-even though the first action is only until frame 125, it is needed to match up with all the others, which applies to other buttons too
