代做SWD605 Game Programming Assessment 1代做留学生Matlab编程

Course aim

This course provides students with foundation in game designing and programming. Students will produce relevant documents, prototype, develop and test interactive games that can be deployed to a variety of platforms.

Purpose

The purpose of the assessment is to assess students’ ability to produce a detailed design document and produce prototype to meet the requirements of the game.

Assessment Information

1.   This is a Individual assessment and worth 40% of your total assessment weighting of the entire course.

2.   Assessment submission will be in the 4th  week.

3.   You have the opportunity for one resubmission for one failed assessment per course. The maximum mark available for any reassessed failed assessment event is 50%.

4.   You can request resubmission within three working days of the return of the assessment and negotiate a resubmission date.

5.   The agreed resubmission date will be adhered to, and no further extensions will be given. In all cases, the grade achieved on the resubmission will be the grade used to calculate the final course grade.

6.    Failing two or more assessments within a course equates to a failed course and are-enrolment of that course.

7.   You are required to keep a soft copy of the submitted assessment.

GPO’s (this assessment is mapped to)

Assessment Task- Overview

This is an individual assessment to evaluate your knowledge and skills in game programming, including game  design  documents,  programming  languages,  game  engines,  graphics,  and  physics.  This assessment  will  measure  your  ability  to  design  and  document  technical  solutions  for the  game scenario using a game design document (GDD) and to develop a prototype to demonstrate gameplay and mechanics. Below are the two scenarios:

Scenario 1:

A local non-profitable organisation “Zero Carbon World” has hired you as a game developer to create a  2D/3D  game  that   promotes  environmental  awareness  and  sustainability.  The  mission  of  the organisation is to develop a game that encourages players to adopt eco-friendly lifestyle. choices.

The game's graphics should be visually appealing, with vivid colours that reflect the natural world. It should also be accessible to players of all ages and skill levels, with simple gameplay mechanics.

The target demographic for the game is all age groups of people who are interested in environmental issues. The game should be educational and informative, with content that teaches players about the significance of environmental protection and reducing their carbon footprint.

The non-profit organisation has allocated $15,000 for the development of the game, with a launch date of two months in the future. Your task is to design and implement a prototype for a game concept that meets these requirements. In addition, you will collaborate closely with the non-profit to ensure that the game accurately reflects its mission and objectives.

Scenario 2:

You are a member of a team of game developers hired by a local museum “Auckland Stone Age Museum” to create a 2D/3D game that teaches visitors about the region's history and culture. The purpose of the  museum  is to  provide visitors with an  interactive  experience that enhances their understanding and appreciation of the exhibits.

The game should be entertaining and instructive, with gameplay mechanics that are simple to learn but difficult to master. It should also be aesthetically pleasing and well-designed, with high-quality graphics and animations that reflect the museum's displays.

The target audience for the game is museum-visiting families with children aged 8 to 12 years old. The game should be appropriate for all ages and be accessible to both children and adults.

The museum has allocated $20,000 for the development of the game, with an anticipated release date of two months away. Your mission is to design a game concept that satisfies these specifications and develop a prototype for it. In addition, you will collaborate closely with museum staff to ensure that the game accurately reflects the museum's exhibits and educational objectives.

Assessment Guidelines

You may select one of the two scenarios described in the preceding section. Or, you can choose any   real game project if you have a new game concept, or any game project from an industry client. This, however, MUST be approved by your tutor. Therefore, you are required to discuss the project details with your tutor and obtain approval prior to beginning the assignment.
