2. Challenge - Journey

   • Themes
     • self-discovery
     • overcoming obstacles
     • Awe and Wonder
   • Background
   • Research
     • The Game contains
       • unique focus on emotional experiences and companionship
       • stunning art direction and music
       • innovative, dialogue-free storytelling that challenged traditional game design
   • existing artwork

3. Challenge - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Astronomy

   • Themes
     • the sky as a Law Book and Story Book
     • Seasonal Calendars
     • Navigation and Wayfinding
     • Connection to Country
   • Background
     • Ancient, sophisticated systems of knowledge
     • Celestial bodies for navigation
     • Timekeeping
     • Predicting weather
     • Regulating cultural practices like seasonal hunting and gathering
   • Research
     • What is Indigenous Astronomy?
       • A Living Tradition
       • Integral to Culture
       • Science and Art Combined
   • Existing artwork

4. Coding considerations

   • Code samples
     • arcade.draw_circle_filled(x - 4, y + 2, 2, arcade.color.WHITE) arcade.draw_circle_filled(x + 4, y + 2, 2, arcade.color.WHITE) arcade.draw_circle_filled(x - 4, y + 2, 1, arcade.color.BLACK) arcade.draw_circle_filled(x + 4, y + 2, 1, arcade.color.BLACK)
     • arcade.draw_triangle_filled(x - 25, y - 35, x - 5, y - 10, x - 5, y - 30, arcade.color.BLUE) arcade.draw_triangle_filled(x + 25, y - 35, x + 5, y - 10, x + 5, y - 30, arcade.color.BLUE)
     • def main(): arcade.open_window(800, 600, "Climb a Snowy Mountain Journey Game") arcade.schedule(update_draw, 1/60) arcade.schedule(update_move, 1/60) window = arcade.get_window() window.on_key_press = on_key_press window.on_key_release = on_key_release arcade.run() main()#
   • Packages
     • Arcade
   • Constraints
     • Speed (1/60 max)
     • Lag (To much arcade object will quickly create lots of lag)

5. Python Drawing

   • example shape requirements
     • Triangles
     • Squares
     • Circles
   • Loops
     • Loop to make snow fall
       • for flake in snowflakes: arcade.draw_circle_filled(flake[0], flake[1], 2, arcade.color.WHITE) flake[1] -= 1 if flake[1] < 0: flake[0] = random.randint(0, 800) flake[1] = 600
