2/15/11-Planning Your Game

My team consists of me, myself and I. In Game Design 1 I was only the designer and graphic artist of the game. Now I have a lot more responsibility getting everything finished and doing the coding of the game. I am pretty worried about having to all the coding by myself since I'm not to good at it at all.  I'm definitely dreading the coding of the game since in Game Design I I could never get the scrolling background to work. 

Imagining Your Game- 2/10/11

1. Reflect on Your Game Idea

Copy and answer ALL of these questions about your Game Idea in a blog post:

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)

             My game will be for any age group, and it will be very simple so anyone can play it. Prior knowledge for my game won't be necessary. 

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) 

               It will teach the player about old pieces of art and the artists who painted them, it will show the artwork and facts about it, then you must retrieve the piece of art from robbers. 

• WHERE does your game happen?

                  My game takes place in a museum.

     Describe the world you will design for your game.

                  The inside of a museum and will have other educational stuff.

     How will this setting add to the learning experience?

            The setting won't really make a difference for the learning experience it's just there to look good and make the game look better.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
•          The world of my game won't teach anything to the player.
• What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
•       Art gets robbed and you have to go around the museum and try to find it.
• How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
•        They collect pieces of a painting and at the end it makes a what the original painting.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
•         Because it's not boring and you actually move a character to collect things.

Playing To Learn- 2/07/11

The Game topics I found most interesting were Action and racing. They were fun but not very educational. There were a lot of good and educational games, but they were not as fun. The two games that were my favorite were Robot Unicorn Attack and Drift Runners.

For my game it will be an educational action/adventure game. I will make it the best I possibly can. It will be touch making it educational but I will give it a shot.

                                            Robot Unicorn Attack was a very awesome game.

2/4/11-Choosing a Topic

Name: Casey
Topic: Art

I chose art because I love art class and when you put the topic of art with the right idea it could be a really cool fun game. It will definitely be hard to get the right idea. It will hopefully turn out to be a cool and educational game people will like to play often.

2/2/11-Internet Privacy

Write a Blog post reflecting on why you need to protect your privacy on the Internet.


The reason internet privacy is so important is because a lot of people keep personal and private information on websites and if that is found or stolen by the wrong people it could lead to identity theft and other bad, bad things that happen to people.
