Assignment:
- Open the “Pac-Man” animation produced in the “Animating with Keyframes – Eat Some Dots!” lesson. Your Pac-Man symbol should now cross the Stage once, “eating” all six dots along the way. If you still need to complete this animation, review the previous lessons for instructions on how to do this.
- Today, your objective is to complete this animation by adding a Red Ghost chasing Pac-Man across the stage to the right, then having Pac-Man chase a Blue Ghost to the left. You will need to utilize Symbols, Layers, Keyframes and Motion Tweens to achieve this. You may use any resources you have available to you to determine the best way to do this. Examples of resources include: This website and the previous lessons, The Adobe Animate Learn & Support video series linked from the previous lesson pages, The Animate tutorials video series on the Adobe website, Google Search, and your neighbors.
- The animation should not be more than 128 frames of animation.
- Press Command + Return (Ctrl + Enter on the PC) to test your movie.
- Pac-Man should move across the stage (with the embedded mouth “chomping” animation)
- Pac-Man should “eat” all six of the dots
- Pac-Man should be chased by a Red Ghost monster to the right side of the stage. Both Pac-Man and the Red Ghost should exit the stage on the right hand side.
- Pac-Man should chase a Blue Ghost monster onto the stage, cross the stage, and exit the stage on the left hand side.
- The entire animation should be completed in no more than 128 frames.
- Save your work. Turn in the completed “Pac Man Quiz.fla” file to today’s Google Classroom post “Pac Man Quiz” by Friday, May 3th.
