Game project

Lab setup

First, make sure you have completed the initial setup.

Open Terminal. Run the update command to make sure you have the latest code.
```
$ mwc update
```

Move to this lab's directory.

$ cd ~/Desktop/making_with_code/mwc1/unit3/project_game

Enter this lab's shell environment.
```
$ poetry shell
```

Move to your MWC directory.
```
$ cd ~/Desktop/making_with_code
```

Get a copy of this lab's materials.

git clone https://git.makingwithcode.org/mwc/project_game.git

Use retro to create a game! Refer to the documentation.

Proposal

Before you start coding, it's important to plan out what exactly you're going to make.

✏️ In your journal, plan for your games project. It should include the following sections:

team
game overview
core mechanics
milestone
challenges

Team

You can complete your game project individually or in a group. (You're expected to do the same amount of work whether you're working individually or in a group, so our expectations for group projects are higher.)

Game overview

What is the name of your game? Then, answer each of the following in one or two sentences:

Describe your vision for your game: What makes it original, fun, compelling, moving? What makes it worth making?
What will your game look like?
How will the player interact with the game?

Core mechanics

Describe 1-4 core mechanics of your game. A game mechanic is a feature or structure of a game; a core mechanic is one which is essential to your game. For example, capturing pieces is a core mechanic of chess; purchasing properties and then charging rent on them is a core mechanic of Monopoly.

Milestone

Describe a first step in your game development, which you're pretty sure you will be able to achieve. This will be your first target.

Challenges

Are there parts of your game which you don't know how to implement yet?

Assessment

Submit your work using mwc submit a least three times. Your commit messages should show an ongoing process of reflection as you work.
Meaningful reflection in your journal including responses to the following questions:
- Why or why not were your successful in creating your proposed game?
- How have you developed as a computer scientists throughout this project?
- What tips would you have to your future students for the retro library and game making?
