Squidiverse - Beat chart
The Water Planet level takes place during the daytime with a quest storyline. The player controls Squid to find 3 clues hidden in the level within 5 minutes to complete it. Enemies include crabs, octopi, and whales that act as obstacles. The player can throw rocks to defeat enemies or activate buttons. Water bursts periodically rise and fall between platforms that the player must time their jumps through. The level aims to introduce new puzzles and enemies while keeping Squid's core abilities the same without power-ups. Gold stars scattered in the level determine the player's score. Upbeat 8-bit music plays throughout to maintain a fun atmosphere.
Pubg
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is an online multiplayer battle royale game developed and published by PUBG Corporation, a subsidiary of South Korean video game company Bluehole. The game is based on previous mods that were created by Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene for other games, inspired by the 2000 Japanese film Battle Royale, and expanded into a standalone game under Greene's creative direction. In the game, up to one hundred players parachute onto an island and scavenge for weapons and equipment to kill others while avoiding getting killed themselves. The available safe area of the game's map decreases in size over time, directing surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. The last player or team still surviving wins.
Unit 1 activity 3 game research
The document provides research on three video games: Dragon Age, Age of Empires II, and Dante's Inferno. For each game, it describes the title, publisher, system, genre, release date, graphical style, and includes an evaluation, collage, and review section. The evaluations describe how the graphical styles support each game's genre. The collages and reviews explain how aspects of the games could inform the design of the student's own cel-shaded game.

The player has a health bar and is destroyed upon collision with an enemy. The art style is cartoony with bright colors and low definition sprites. There are three background layers - a planet, asteroids, and space debris - to give a 3D effect. The menu
The Atomic Elements of games
What makes a game? Here we will seek to look at the most basic elements of games which can be applied to modern console games all the way to classic board games.
Game of the Generals
Game of the Generals is a two-player strategy board game that simulates army maneuvers. Each player controls 21 pieces of varying ranks from private to five-star general. The objective is to capture the opponent's flag or maneuver one's own flag to the opposite side of the board. Players take turns moving one piece per turn and capturing lower-ranked opposing pieces in challenges adjudicated by an arbiter. Common strategies involve protecting the flag with high-ranking pieces while advancing across the board. The game ends when a flag is captured, reaches the end of the board, or the players agree to a draw.
