LCC 2700: Project 8: Atari 2600 Video Game

Project

For this project, we did not have specific roles. Instead we each covered portions of everything. I created the PowerPoint presentation for our initial class presentation as well as participating in some of the early coding. Then as we progressed through the project I researched different commands that my group members implemented as well as provide suggestions for improvement.

In addition I designed and coded each of the three playfields that are used in our game. The first is three straight bars running across the top of the screen. The second is a Georgia Tech logo in a merged ‘GT’ format. The third is in the shape of a face. I then put together the game information together which consists of the game design, game play, and game controls.

Overall it was a very informative project and I felt it helped put into perspective how difficult creating even the simplest game interface can be. I think the reason our project came out so well is that we met so frequently. By meeting every night we are able to work in small parts rather than a large effort crammed at the last minute.
