Itsy Bitsy Target Audience Goal Concept Storyboard ( Level 1) Flowchart / PSEudo-code (Level 1) Storyboard ( Level 2) Flowchart / PSEudo-code (Level 2) Myron Krys Florence ITGM 719 Scripting for Interactivity 9/25/08 1
Target Audience: Kids to Adults from 5+. Goal: It has to get to the top of the spout and then across the gutter. The more energy he has at the end of each level, the higher the score. Concept: Itsy is broken down into two parts. The first part resembles the classic Donkey Kong game. Water drops will fall from various places on the screen, mostly above ladders. The longer the ladder, the slower the drops will fall. He will be able to climb up and down ladders and jump over worms. Itsy has 2 minutes to get from the bottom of the spout to the top without getting hit by drops of water or by worms. If he is hit by either, he loses ¼ of his energy. The more energy he loses, the slower he moves. If time runs out before he makes it to the top of the spout, but he still has energy left, he is taking back to the bottom of the spout with the same amount of energy to begin again with the timer reset to 2 minutes. However, if he runs out of energy, he dies and the game is over. The player has the option of starting over or exiting the game The next section has a Surfer theme. As Itsy gets into the spout, he reaches the top, but then has to cross the gutter to the other side. It is in this that it begins to rain. As it starts to rain, has to take a leaf that is inside the gutter and use it like a surfboard to get across. Other obstacles float in the water such as acorns and small pieces of tree branches that the spider has to dodge from left to right. The game is timed for two minutes again and he still has the same amount of energy from the first level. If Itsy can make it across in time with energy then he wins. The more energy he has, points will be added. 2
