Booting is the first program to be executed when the computer is switched on.


DOS is keyboard based.


To communicate with DOS, the screen has a prompt here you enter a command.

A Lego Robot is a computerized robot that does what you tell it to. It can perform many tricks such as move back and forward, pick objects up, and see things.
This stands for the Mazda logo for their cars. The colors don't mean anything specific but I think that out of all the car logos this is my favorite.



I chose to do shapes that catch the eye. I chose these colors because i like them and i think they are warm colors that make you feel calm.

I have always wanted a Roxy sticker for my car so i guess, even though it isn't original, i would choose that. I would want it to be purple because that is my favorite color. I would want the Roxy design and then the name under it.

BUBBLE ROLE


An evil black bubble has captured the hero bubble from another town so that he can't kill his evil dragon. The hero bubble was put in the biggest forest maze known to man and has to make it past all the obstacles the evil bubble has put in his way to get to the dragon before he kills the town's people.


The only sprites you have are the hero bubble who can move left, right, forwards, and backwards to get over the evil objects.


The objects within the game are evil sinking sand holes, pointy needles, fire pits, and slippery forest floors. There are also safe check points and a bubble protector at the end of the level to move on to the next.


The game console that you can play this game on is the Xbox 360. It is perfect for maneuvering a slippery bubble.


I designed the game this way because it is fun and challenging at the same time. It is also a game targeted for kids 10 and up.
