Follow the tutorial with a partner and make the game.

You can run construct 2 from the data drive on your computer, Data D:

You will find construct 2 in the handout folder. Copy it to the data drive and run it.

Then follow the tutorial and make ghost shooter.

Here is a word doc that has the tutorial :This is the Construct 2 Ghost shooter tutorial from the Scirra

Drafting 11 and 12: making an table to learn assembly

Hi, you will learn how to make an assembly in Inventor.

First you have to make a table leg. Here are some pictures to show you one way to do that.

Every day is leg day for table manufacturers.

OK, legs get started.

1: Make a circle (I used 3 inches circumference).

1 make a circle

2. Extrude it to 36 inches. (yes, it’s a low table, want a higher one? Extrude yours to have longer legs).

2 extrude to 36 inches

3. Use the draft tool to change the straight leg to have a wider top. I used 4 degrees, but go ahead and experiment.

Try clicking on set direction and click twice on the bottom circle.

If you don’t end with something like this (above) keep trying ’till you do.

4. Click plane and offset plane.

5. Bring it down the leg.

6. Right click on the new plane and choose new sketch.

6 right click on the new plane and choose new sketch

7. Draw your circle on the new plane. Experiment with sizes, always a bit bigger than the shaft of the leg at that point on the plane.

8. Extrude the circle down 2 inches.

8 extrude it down 2 inches

9. Make a new circle on another offset plane.

10. Extrude it down like the other one.

11. Draft 25 degrees choose faces and click on the edge of the circle.

12. Do the same steps and after some filleting end up with something like this:

That’s all done with drafting the extruded circles.  Save it as fancy table leg (or something like that).

Let’s not Table the discussion

I:Make a table top at least 3 inches thick, square, rectangular or circular (your choice). Make it a good size for the legs. {How to make a cooler table? Draw a picture in photoshop and save it as a .png. Then use the decal command to put it on the table top.}

make a table with a cool decal you drew yourself

II:Make a 2d sketch on the bottom of you table and make four circles where the legs will go. Use Extrude in to the table to make them in to small indents (holes).

 

make sure to have some indents where the legs will go shallow is ok extrude them

Save your table top as tabletop (or something like that).

III: Make a new assembly.

a make an assembly

IV: choose place and choose your table top.

b choose place and choose your table top

V: Click once somewhere in the assembly and your table top will appear there. Then press escape.

d click once and then click escape

VI: Flip the table over so you can see the indents you made in the bottom.

e flip the table so you can see your indents.PNG

VII: Following the steps you did to place your table, place your leg four times and then press escape.

f place your leg four times then click escape.PNG

VIII: Choose Constraint and then choose insert.

g choose constraint and insert.PNG

IX: Click the top of one of the legs.

h click the top of the leg.PNG

X: Click one of the indents and the leg will click in to place.

wow in place.PNG

XI: Repeat the steps until all the legs are in. (Hint, you can press ok, then click on insert and choose another leg, then click on the indent and repeat…)

i repeat until all legs are in.PNG

All done, but the saving. So save it as yourname table assembled.
