Today I decided to change the look of my Pachinko Machine to make it more interesting. I have modified not only the level’s appearance but also the script of the game. I have adjusted the look of the level by adding in a lot more pegs per level (only level 1 is complete). I plan on increasing the number of pegs gradually either per level or per 5 levels (increasing level difficulty in increments). As well as changing my level appearance I have also modified the play of my game by adjusting the “Droball” script and adding in a “PachinoBall” script. By doing so, the player is now limited to only 20 balls per level,rather than infinite, however if they hit the goal they have 1 ball returned to them. In order to progress level, you have to eliminate a certain amount of the pegs – I plan to making this every peg to progress.
Overall, I am very happy with my game so far and I feel it is going very well for only learning programming for a few weeks now. I cant wait to learn more skills in the future to further improve my game. Personally the next steps for me, to improve my Pachinko Machine, is to begin laying out more levels, then making them look more appealing by adding in my own art work and hopefully bringing the game together.
After this, my target for the game is going to be to program and design a menu system game, possibly with different difficulties which link to different difficulty of level. I understand that this will be difficult but I believe it will really improve my game.
