Lilypadd is meant to be a children’s game for practicing addition and subtraction. Frogs jump from one lily pad to the next either adding or subtracting the numbers they show. Each lily pad is one of five colors, each representing a different way to hinder an opponent’s progress toward reaching the goal number. To activate […]

Lilypadd update: the final stretch
June 5, 2008 – 3:05 am
Yesterday I finished all of the programming for my game and today I finished the artwork. The info bar is now more readable and speech bubbles pop up to let each player know what’s going on. (This was a big issue for people who didn’t read the instructions and therefore didn’t know why they’re controls […]

The game play is finally finished, and I’ve been working on the aesthetics & extras. Now there’s ripples, lily pad motion and a bit of depth. You’ll see

get it.
I’ve added some sound, a new power up and some instructions. I’m currently working on the info bar, which will soon tell players the scores, if they are adding or subtracting and how many of a particular color they have collected.

LilyPadd Update

Here’s a demo.
This version includes a kind of power up that allows a player to screw over whichever player is in the lead. If one frog lands on three lily pads of the same color in a row, the frog with the most points will lose all of them & it’s score will be zero. […]
LilyPadd Sounds
May 15, 2008 – 2:18 pm
A list of all the sounds I think I’ll need:
-Selection sound for menus
-Jumping sounds
-Ambient sound, possibly music
-Sound for the frogs landing on lily pads, ripple effect
-Sounds that indicate the start of the round, or the amount of time until then
-End of level “winner” sound
