Video 12/09

Who did you recognize from the video?
I recognized many people in the video, one of the persons i recognized was barack obama.

What were they encouraging?
Learning how to code and use technology it is very useful at this age

Why is learning how to code important at this age?
learning code is important at this age because it can help you out a lot in the future. That is one of the main reasons why I have been taking globaloria since 6th grade.

how will knowing something about computer science benefit you?
at this time a lot of jobs that are open involve technology, therefore knowing about computers and that sort is being highly encouraged. I personally am going to get a minor in technology because i know what a great resource that can be.

Draw a background

It wasn't very difficult for me to draw a background because of my topic. My game is named "Saving Habitats", which is included in my background. It is named that way for the reason that my game is on deforestation. I used the colors brown and green because trees are usually those colors. I also added a tree in the background and some buttons to get one started on the game (play, instructions, about). I definitely know I can improve my background but as of now I like it the way it is.

Today we continued to trace our hidden objects drawing. We had to draw 10 hidden objects and draw a background for it. My topic is deforestation, therefore my goal is to make my background contain trees on the back. I am focusing on the Amazon in Brazil, and how they cut down trees and leave animals without habitats.

Planning game scene

My game is going to be about deforestation, therefore the objects it'll contain hidden will be animals. The reason why is because when deforestation takes place some animals remain in the forest and lose their homes. 

1. A parrot

2. lizards

3. trees

4. clouds

5. walking sticks

6. grasshoppers 

7. grass

8. insects

9. ladybugs

10. 

Choosing learning topic

Big subject area: I am not very positive on what I want my game to be about, but I am sure that I want it to be about an important topic that people don't know about.

One really important thing I learned to do in this subject is: that people don't know much about it, and there is a variety of things you should know.

Other people should learn how to: know about important things and more facts about this topic.

I would teach them how to do this by: adding facts in the game, and things people don't know about.

Summary if my narrow game topic in five words or less: my topic is going to be very informative.

Game review

1. Name of the game: The name of the game is "Kitty Math".
2. What were you looking for? I was trying to find the coordinates on a graph before they emergency arrives.
3. Was the game fun to play? Explain why. The game wasn't as entertaining for the reason that it didn't give me enough time and what I had to do wasn't clear enough.
4. How does the designer reward you and keep you playing? You are able to save the cat, and you pass on.
5. What does this game teach you? This game teaches you math, including coordinates.
6. How does it use hidden objects to teach you? This includes hidden objects because you have to find the cat.
7. What age group would find this educational? I think high school students will find this educational, because younger students wouldn't understand this.
8. How would you make this game better? I would make this game better by giving more time.
