As part of the first year Understanding Media class I am teaching semester 2, 2011, at the University of Canberra, I am working on creating a video game. The ‘high concept’ of the game is a meme mash-up of Ryan Gosling and Nyan Cat.
First update 22/10/11: I have no experience coding beyond simple CSS type of stuff for this blog. I did study computer programming in my first year of undergraduate university study, but found it horrifically boring and went off and studied writing instead. I have a layperson’s understand the basic abstract concepts of coding (objects, events, etc).
After trying and then abandoning Adobe Flash, I turned to GameMaker. GameMaker is far easier to use and far better for my purposes than Flash.
I’ve created my first game following the GameMaker tutorial, FruitsvsBombz, now I neeed to make the Ryan Gosling and Nyan Cat meme mash-up game.
It has a working title off Nyan Gosling.
