Today I spent 3 hours working on my game. I was very happy with how today went compared to last week. Last week nothing worked for me and I spent nearly all day on it whereas today I felt everything worked for me and I got so much done. I even added some extras into my game.

Today I made the ball roll properly instead of just moving along in the same position, I made it so the ball couldn't go through the walls. I adjusted the walls to make sure the ball could go between all of the gaps. I added 2 exits. I added a timer, I originally thought I would create a stopwatch timer but while making it I realised a timer with a time limit to complete the maze would add some more pressure and more competition for the player to complete the maze before the timer runs out. I have it set at 50 seconds but after trialling I may have to adjust this. And finally I decided to add stars to the maze that the player can collect while they are completing the maze. There are 10 stars that the player must collect before they leave the maze through one of the two exits. When the player collects a star a sound plays to let them know, I also added a score counter which changes every time the player collects a star. There are multiple dead ends and I feel my game looks better then i could have imagined.

I feel my game is nearly ready and i just need to fix a few things and add the final few touches to it.

What I still need to do is:

• Fix the timer so it stops when the player finds the exit.
• Stop the game when the player falls off the map.
• Either fix the main menu or add a start and game over the button.
• Arrange the trees closer around the maze so people can see them.
• Consider adding background music.
