PROJECT OVERVIEW
In my final project for DES 111: Coding for Designers, we were tasked to design an interactive game integrating computer code to facilitate screen-based and text-based designs. This project emphasizes the creation of a game that tests users' reflexes while immersing them in an aesthetically pleasing narrative.

PROBLEM STATEMENT
Using all the coding concepts I've learned throughout the quarter, I wanted to challenge myself by making an interactive story game for my final. The game that I've created is called Lost & Found and it's a 2D game where users will learn about the story and help the main character collect stars while avoiding comets.

Sketching/Pseudo Code
I had different iterations of what I envisioned my game to work. After discussing with classmates and my professor, I decided to challenge myself and make my game a horizontal flowing game.

Wireframing
After I decided what kind of ineractive game I wanted to make, I start to wireframe the flow of my game with placeholders.

Game Instructions & Game
Lost & Found centers around Blobby, the main character, who must collect stars while evading comets. The story's outcome varies depending on the number of stars caught, leading to multiple possible endings.

Conclusion
REFLECTION:
This was my first time coding and creating a game with Processing. It was truly enjoyable to merge various concepts I've learned in class to develop this game. While the project presented some challenges, the satisfaction of overcoming them and getting everything to function properly was immensely rewarding. If I had more time, I would include additional levels in my game, as currently, there is only one level available for users to play.
