The topic can be quite hard to grasp and you are going to have to be able to write a clear set of requirements (what something must do) and specifications (how exactly it's going to do it) for your project idea.
Watch the video to help get a good understanding of the topic and then complete the worksheet below. Make sure you make a copy of the doc and then have a go filling it out. All instructions are inside the document.
For your game design you should have a requirement that explains:
What type of game is it going to be?
What theme or setting will the game be in?
What obsticles or challenges will the player have to overcome?
Specifications are super-detailed descriptions of a video game. They tell us exactly how the game should work and what it will look like:
What colour pallete is your game going to use?
What sound effects?
What controls is it going to use?
Remember you will have about 5 requirements, and between 2 and 5 specifications for each. There might be overlap but don’t worry about it.
Each of these Specifications should roughly work out to be a task when you are making your thing.
