About halfway through attempting to use ChatGPT to help me solve a half-colored rubix cube, it soft-blocked me from working on this project anymore; not because of my ‘plan’, but because it I would make a rotation, snap a frame, and then ask the AI which colors would become visible/invisible, etA.
Despite the 5+ years this thing has been learning, millions of dollars of funding, and environmental impact, I now have an entirely new hatred for AI. Of course, I knew it wasn’t perfect and it’s learning – that’s fine; but it didn’t learn. I wasted several hours typing back and forth, only to get the same or different incorrect results each time. I genuinely wish I just learned to solve a rubix cube instead.
I got a little lazy with the feet walking and the environment. For future versions, I want the flowers to wave gently. I used Adobe Animate for the first time to create this gif. The animation elements are partial vectors from Adobe Stock. I imported them into Figma to assemble and add texture. For the final animation, I plan on adding more texture and brushstrokes.

Saying goodbye during a long distance relationship. Have scenes that are fun and light-heartened and then there is just an emptiness
Having a relationship but you are having anxiety but you can’t always talk; you need someone to talk to but you just feel so alone despite being in a committed relationship
Daily anxieties | (Title: Rabbit Holes??)
Excuse the word vomit. I’m likely going with this idea and I’m going to use these concepts. The game is supposed to feel sporadic and chaotic, imitating how overwhelming it can feel to have some of these thoughts and not being able to suppress them. This chaos of this list imitates how I want the game to feel lol
Checking someone’s location. Not knowing where they are. Assuming they’re dead

What was the most frustrating moment or aspect of what you just played? nothing was frustrating, the concept was executed very well and the coding worked as intended to.
What was your favorite moment or aspect of what you just played? i realy enjoyed listening to the music, getting to see what he picked for each emotion made alot of sence.
Was there anything you wanted to do that you couldn’t? sometimes how your feeling doesn’t fit perfectly with the simple happy sad anxious. it would be nice to help identify your emotions.
If you had a magic wand to wave, and you could change, add, or remove anything from the experience, what would it be? if i had a magic wand i would make an option of other, sometimes people don’t know what emotion they are feeling so maybe their should be an option where you listen to a playlist of songs that match different emotions and you can sit and listen and tap a button if that song matches or doesn’t match what you are feeling and the game will help you to identify what you are feeling.
What should be improved with the next version? nothing specific.
What was the game’s message? music can help with emotions.
Describe the game in 3 words: music, help, feeling
For my project, I chose to project various footage of cells and organisms observed through the lens of a microscope. The goal of this experiment was to be immersive, and test how some of life’s smallest structures could be displayed on a large scale.
First, I took all of my images and placed them over a black background via Instagram stories. This allowed me to quickly, and easily, crop the top layer image (through the microscope) into a perfect circle. I saved my creations back to my camera roll. Since I could not follow this same process for other forms of media, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to create a circular black mask around my video content. I then uploaded all of the media into iMovie so that I could arrange my content, add transitions, and adjust play speed. Since iMovie formatted everything onto a black rectangle, I utilized Adobe After Effects to crop my final into a square the size of my circular content and export as seen above. This would allow the footage to be compatible with RMU’s dome projector.
Whoever goes first cannot attack during their first turn.
Draw 4 cards and place them facedown in front of your deck. These would be considered your prize cards. When you knock out your opponent’s Pokémon, draw a prize card. When you draw all 4 before your opponent does, you win. You also win if your opponent has no remaining pokemon on the field.
The game continues even if a player’s deck runs out of cards.
Both players draw 7 cards at the beginning of the game. If you don’t have at least 1 pokemon in your hand to play on the playing field, shuffle your hand into your deck and draw 7 new cards. Repeat until you are able to play at least 1 pokemon.
*Optional (You also have the option to reshuffle if you only have 1 pokemon in your hand and do not wish to play it down.)
Each player draws one card at the beginning of their turn.
Each player can only have one attacking Pokémon and a maximum of five on the bench.
Each player can play as many Pokémon on their bench up to the 5-bench maximum.
For this game, disregard the energy costs and effects such as burned, poisoned, paralyzed and asleep.
Each player can only attack once per turn and if the damage counters total or exceeds the HP of the Pokémon, the Pokémon would be knocked out and placed in the discard pile.
Trainer cards can only be played during the player’s turn. And a player can play as many as they have in their hand. Once played, the trainer card is discarded.
Stadium cards are placed on the field separately and any player can replace them with another stadium card.
Pokémon powers can only be used once per game per Pokémon.
Evolution cards are placed on top of the pokemon they correspond with (the card will say “evolves from X”)
During attacking, choose the attack and if the attack does damage place the damage counters on the defending Pokémon and the other appropriate Pokémon if applicable. Once you attacked, your turn is over.
You can have an unlimited number of cards in your hand.
You are allowed to retreat your attacking pokemon and switch it with one of your benched pokemon, this is allowed only once during your turn. And this is done before your attack.
Play Test Notes
I feel that the experience the other student had with this version of the game seemed more technical than the other games within the classroom. The trainer cards had a wide range of impact and can change the experience of the gameplay very quickly. Some students picked up on the rules more quickly than others.
This version of the game seem to have had a positive engagement for the students that tested this game.
