Game Screens for MyHLife Game

Today I spent 7 hours reworking the game screens and general idea with Leslie and Emily, joined by Leticia later. We decided that the game should be more of a scavenger hunt game: you will be asked a question at the beginning of each level - for example "What do you eat before working out in the gym to prevent cramps and gain energy?" Then you will be transported to that level - in this case, a level with a gym theme, and you will have to avoid bad foods to choose your answer amongst three healthy choices clearly visible on screen. If you come in contact with a bad food, you lose and must start over. If you come in contact with a healthy food that is not the right answer, you gain a health point, but do not beat the level. These health points can be cashed in for a special treat, such as a cookie or a scoop of ice cream at the end of the game. In the case of the gym, the screen will have apples, oranges and bananas (which are the right answer to the question), for example. So today I created the gym screen, as well as a kitchen and a school classroom screen. I also designed the figure that will be moving throughout the game. Tomorrow, I hope to watch some videos on animation and start making the interactive part of the game!
