PicsMix (will update slightly)

This piece of writing is based on my next item of work. I am now creating a version of space invaders in Game Maker 6. First I had to create sprites which makes an icon. From that you must make it an object which allows you to give it actions for the game. You then create a room which is the gameboard and you place the objects into the room in what ever way you want (Depending on the game you want to make).

For this animation I had to use gamemaker 6. First I created a new sprite then edited the sprite and created an animation by using a file that had more then one picture on it called a sprite sheet. After obtaining the formation of pics which creates the animation you see before you I saved it as a gif image which would make it a animation but it wouldn’t repeat it’s self so I opened up GIMP and saved it again but with the extra option of looping it which makes it repeat then finally I put it onto my blog so that you can see what I was told to do by my teacher.

Another pic from picassa. This time I had to choose two pictures, click on the collage button then change the type of picture it is and choose multi-exposure which creates the effect that you see here.

Unlike the other students who are doing the same thing as me, I created my tic tac toe game (in the program GIMP) by first creating a gameboard which is a black background with blue lines as boundaries, then one by one created new layers and with each layer drew a nought or cross hence when played as animation it ran through all the layers and created the game you can see before you.

This picture was created in picassa by making variations of the picture in different ways then put in a collage as before.

This picture is made in the same process as the picture grid except instead of choosing the picture grid you choose picture pile.

I am a high school student that is learning to use this programming and I was given an assignment to put a collage on my blog. I had to first use a program called picasa2 then make the collage and copy it to my wordpress file which you can see here.
