Eagle - Game Mechanics


Here are some sketches of the splash screen. Keep it simple. Single image of the eagle and a start button. More buttons can be added here as needed.


The game will be a top down view of the land. Here are some ideas of what the screen will look like over the head of the eagle.


On the left of the first two rows are the sections of the screen the user can click. These will be where the user decides to direct the eagle. On the right of the first two rows are the lanes which the rabbit prey will be running through. As the rabbit reaches an intersection, it will be up to the user to predict which way the rabbit goes. The last image shows the rabbit moving in one direction and the eagle moving forward. Once the rabbit is lost from sight, it is lost.

Just like others before me, I have worked in helpdesk which means I spent most of my time saying “Is it plugged in?” to customers and staff alike.

As a Web Developer, I spend a lot more time maintaining code rather than creating it. Even someone with the best foresight in the world cannot create code which can lead to hassle free maintaining. This usually means I will make a small update to some functionality in

Game Review - Shining Force

I think a person's first Role Playing video Game (RPG) holds a very special place in their heart. These types of games are able to captivate our minds and engross us in a rich visual storyline. This is especially true when we are younger and have all the time in the world. It is easy to dive into the fable of Cloud in Final Fantasy VII as he progresses his way through the many twists and turns that is his adventure. Similarly, I believe Sega have successfully emulated Shining Force on the iPhone allowing me to easily lose myself into its rich world whenever I sit down on the bus. And the story of Shining Force is well worth reviving. For me, the love of RPG's began with the classic Shining Force II. I played this game to death on the Sega Genesis and this recent port of the original Shining Force has brought all the memories vividly back. This time we take on the role of Max, a kid with a sword in one hand and boredom in the other. After an incident involving the King, he gat
