Criteria C - Creating the Solution

Design Brief

In summary, my partner and I decided we create a game where the player controls a ball to find its way out of a maze of floating platforms. The way forward will fork and one of us will read out a question and point to each of the ways with a different answer. The player will roll the ball in the direction they think is correct. Should the player fail to roll the right way, the ball will fall right through the platform and the game will be over. The player is timed and has to collect coins along the way so it trains your mind to quickly respond and search for information in your head.

Plan

While my partner learnt to code the game, I was in charge of making the graphics and soundtrack. First, I used software called Mixcraft to create a simple tune with a beat and bass so as not to distract the player in game but give something to listen to. I must then come up with questions for Raza to
