The first round of game programming is done! I will have to go back and fix bugs, but the system is functioning well enough to get some alpha testers playing.
I wrote the most challenging bit of code, the Timed Game. I saved this choice for last because it had the most features that I already programmed, plus a timer. The programming followed the same path as the previous games, where I adapted the useful code from where I could find it and fixed the wording. Timed Game was more like Go Nuts! than assumed. I used blue as the game's color theme. Once the Go Nuts! code ran stably, I added a timer to confirm that the game would end, and it did. The last step, and the most work, was adding a small countdown timer on the screen. I printed it in blue at the top and eliminated the "Timed Game" title, but it was intuitive since the timer changed every second.
The rest of the posts for this project have been arranged by date.
