New Scoreboard
A change in decision of scoreboard had to be made due to me thinking carefully with time management, as this assignment deadline is nearly upon me. To make work effective, my tutor pointed out "to save any more hassle with Photoshop and sprites it would make sense to use a pre made scoreboard on Game Maker. It is less work but more effective". This is the decision I have token forward and completed in today's session, then after realising this was the better decision than making my own version of a scoreboard and knowing time is eating away with other tasks to start and finish.

No More Explosions
Difficulty was another key factor in not producing a explosion kind of effect to the killing of players.I had the audio all ready to use (found below) but now it won't be used. The most clear of the factors to pinpoint why I am no longer doing an explosion is mainly because it wouldn't be right for a country like France to bomb Ireland, people would get the wrong idea, I would get complaints about the game and it would all come down to the thought of 'terrorism.'

New Sounds
For my work, I have carefully followed step by step online tutorials on YouTube and after having an attempt with the first sounds I found, they were either delayed to get started meaning there was a blank or either the audio wasn't to be heard attall. After finding and converting another set of audio for a second time of asking, all was working and fitted well but the background music still played up and wouldn't play so my tutor (Frazer) said to just give up with it, as we took a whole percentage of lunchtime trying to fix the issue and failing.

No More Main Menu
Again and again the time restriction thought has come into play as stated before there is not long left with assignment 2.
Today I attempted to add in a main menu this morning (Wednesday 20th April) and failed as I had got whole lot of coding wrong meaning the game crashed. By this time, I was worrying whether the main menu was essential, so I emailed my tutor and here is his reply. (The email above) and the (title and main menu designs found below).
I am now feeling more relived after receiving this back.

Why?
As I have gone on creating this game with doing steps like going back to make little, minor adjustments, I have been able to identify that I no longer need certain assets (found above). All of the assets I was planning on using were going to be on the main menu in some sort of capacity, and since I am not doing a main menu now due to time restrictions there is no place for my work to go.
