Today is Day 3 of this series

I am continuing my journey to create games/ learn Japanese and brush up my English language skills through this journey, I will be sharing all things I did in a day and what difficulties I faced while doing them.

Game design

Creating Level design document: Challenge is to think of new narrative and name for my game/level and setting a name for first level. But I overcome this situation with help of verbs list and found a suitable name for my game; and for level name i just made up a station name.

    • Used math expressions in JS.

    • Set variables with hardcoded numbers.
