jgordon510 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hello, everyone. I'm a 4th grade teacher who enjoys developing educational games for, and teaching programming to, my students. Although I've done a lot of work in Scratch (an educational programming language developed at MIT), I've been remaking my popular games in HTML5 with Javascript and Phaser. Barnyard Roundup is a game to help develop perseverance, spatial awareness, and systematic problem solving. The goal is to fill the pen completely with animals. Click an animal to pick it up. While carrying the animal, press space bar to rotate and the f-key to flip. There are 40 level, as well as a level code system so you can get back where you left off. The project is published under a CC BY 4.0 license. Source code. If you're interested in seeing more of what I do, check out my other math games and my book of educational programming lessons.

BdR Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's a pretty cool game, but it could use better presentation. Most notably, the red text on green background during the game looks a little ugly. I'm not a graphics designer, but it's usually a good idea to pick just 2 or 3 complementary colors, see this color scheme designer tool. If you use only those colors for all your menu and text elements, it looks more pleasing and clear and coordinated. For example see my game it only uses blue, purple and yellow.
