CONTRIBUTORS
- Lamin – Concept design, sound, and quiz.
- My main contribution to the game is the designing. I came up with the area, designed and worked on all the sound. As all the background music, effects are downloaded from the Internet, most of the sounds were too long, edited the source files by trimming and adding special effects like reverbs, fades in and out etc. I also worked on some of the images by converting from BMP, jpeg to png in order to work with a transparency image.
- Nicolas – Gameplay, Variables, Events, action and layout design (with the help of Lamin and Edgar)
- Edgar – Provides the sprites, ideas and edit the sprites
OBJECTS THAT ARE CREATED
We cloned the “fish.png” using Photoshop to be able to achieve a well-presented fish with a natural look by editing the fish with an open mouth which replaces the main object when in contact with food, and some watermarks on the background cropped the pellet, converting all sprites to PNG format with transparent background.
