TASKMASTER #3 - Update

The TaskMaster Rocket is now fully playable.
I'm calling it version #.09 while I check for final errors.
But even with a clear bill of health I will be adding to it.




Charlie has a link to the GOOGLE DRIVE folder with all of these demos.

Progress is recorded throughout, as it the highest altitude reached.
The student can choose to start a journey from TM01 all the way through to TM20 seamlessly.
Once a question is answered correctly twice it is not likely to come up again and the list moves on.
With almost 1000 questions in there that's quite a lot of play.

I've made it so that when they get tired and want to stop the students can self destruct their own ship with a glorious explosion. All progress is saved and the next time the game is run they will continue from the launchpad with a perfectly new shit and not be asked the same questions they have already passed. So essentially they are continuing where they left off.

Later the student can choose to 'revise' any of the TM levels. Records for that level are cleared and the journey begins from there.

I've also added a few methods of play so that students AND teachers can have a go.

1. Normal. This is for the students.
2. This time you only have 2 options to click but gravity is heavier.
3. Even a fully fluent English reader will have trouble here. Gravity is 6 times normal.
          (you'll be lucky to get the ship off the ground!)

I was going to add a spelling level here but I've thought of a much better new game to test and improve spelling. I will make that very soon.

I am also thinking of using the alien character to illustrate the words. Like Anxiety would show an anxious alien. In fact I think the alien character can be used for many different things related to the words and game.

There is much more to come in this rocket game and remember, at its core it's just a simple flashcard system so any questions can be slotted in easily. Anything that need revision.
