Imagining Your Game

I am writing my game for people who are between 10 and 17 years old. The person who plays my game must be able to have quick reactions to the obstacles. Since my topic is about oil spills and to  the player must already know about how to time when and where the obstacle is going to let you pass by. 
My players will learn about the details of my topic, such as to take action when an oil spill happens that we need to be really to clean it up as fast as we can.
 The environment for my game will look like be in the ocean where the oil spill happen and how the animals are affected. 
This setting will add to the learning of my game by teaching students the skill they need to beat the game and how an oil spill hurts the environment.
The environment of my game will help the player learn by showing that animals get damage and the water gets polluted.
 The player will need to use their knowledge of math  in order to know how much time it has and what they might need to know how much oil was spill.
 A game is a better way of understanding my topic than a quiz because on a quiz you can guess the answer without even reading the question so I game is more challenging to play.

Reflect on Your Game Idea

  • WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)
  • I am making the game for kids age 9-12 so they can learn about oil spill.Also how they affect the environment when this happens and pollutes our fresh water.  
  • WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)
  • The player will learn that when an oil spill happens people have to take actions quickly because if it happens where we have our fresh water and goes in an can make us sick.
  • WHERE does your game happen?
    • Describe the world you will design for your game.
    • How will this setting add to the learning experience?
    • My game is going to be in the Gulf of Mexico because there was an oil spill last year and it was the worst oil spill in the United states.It kill many aquatic life and polluted the ocean water.The setting will show you that the oil spreads out so far from the ocean so the clean up is much more harder like there are no boarders that stop the oil. 
HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?
  • They would learn to take action in the game to stop the oil spill to save the environment also to save the country some money.
    • WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
    • My game would be better that a quiz because you get to see drawing about an oil spill explosion which would give you a better idea about what an oil spill is.A quiz doesn't show you nothing of an oil spill because you don't have to read the questions and you can just guess whats the correct answer.

    Tempest in Crescent City

    What I learn about tempest in crescent city is that a girl has lost her mom in the hurricane Katrina, and she dreams about that moment after the hurricane thing that she is going to save her mom. Also the hurricane Katrina was one of the worst hurricanes in the United States.

    The game included to break the roofs because many people got stuck in the roof because they didn't have transportation or they just didn't wanted to leave.So when the hurricane hit the water levels rise and they had to move in their attic. Many people were stuck in the attic, and they couldn't get out of the attic.

    I think the game design like this because in some parts there was more water and the situation was more complicated. The level ground was deeper so the water go stuck in there so the as more water comes in the more the water level will rise.

    The game inspire me to help people that need help because many people lose their homes', items, and  maybe all of it. They have to live in a bad place for weeks till they clean the city with the water polluted trash around them. I would take action to help people that are in need for help to save them or to provide them supplies that they need.

    Darfur is Dying

    What I learn about Darfur is Dying is that they live a hard life.That they depend in the weather, and also to be awarded of the other tribe so they won't be attack by the janaweed. The women are rapped, and the men are shoot and kill. They get water to grow crops or so they can drink it.
    When you go get water you can choose  from a boy that is ten years old that can run the most but can carry the less and the older you are the more water you can get but the slower you can run.If you were caught by the janaweed if you are a girl is most likely that you will be rapped, and if your a kid you will probably be shoot or kill.Well the abilities for each is that the older you are the more water you can get and the younger that you are the less water you can get and the faster you can run.
    I think to maintain camp is so you can learn what they do because you need to grow crops and give them water. Also you need the water so you can build house out of mud bricks. When you need to be awarded when the janaweeds might attack and destroy the houses or take the crops.I think also so you can learn how they live and depend on water, weather. They need supplies but when they can get them is hard for them to survive.
    I think when you can write a letter to the president is because so he can take actions to help them and they can help them in supplies they need. Also so he can donated money for them so they can have a better life. On facebook to inform people how they are living with out safety and how hard it is. I think this is a great idea because many people in the United States always want to help people that are needed with anything they can to make their life's easier.
    Playing the game made me feel bad because they had to do this every day so they live one more day. Kids are kill stolen, girls and women are rapped, and man are kill when they are getting water or wood for the camp.I have seen people like this and makes me want to do something to help them. Its sad that they can spend some time with each other, but they have to be worry about surviving. Also if the janaweeds are going to attack them.

    Steve jobs

    Steve Jobs was the founder of the company of Apple. He was the one who create the Ipod, IPhone, and the Ipad. If he hadn't done what he had done that there wouldn't computers, smart phones, and mp3s. He is also a big part of Pixar animation because he was the one who created it. I really don't know who he was, but from what I learn today from him that he is a great person. With out him we won't have many of the great items we have today. He is a great inspiration to many people, but knowing what I know now from him I think he was a great person. He inspired many people t create new items for the future.I think if I had know more about him, and who he was I think he would of been some to inspire me. He would of inspire me to make new items that could help any one in the future, and that are every advance items

    Playing to Learn

    What I learn in my choice of gametha is call synchronized Saviors that is about we should take care of the world because more people are living in it and there is more trash produced. The genre is good because is about pollution, but it shows what we should do to make it a cleaner place to live in. I think the game was interesting because I like that little things could be change to make it a more energy saver. What really stood out to me was how this game is very interesting, and shows you how to clean the world. I think this game is really cool to play because it shows that every change can make a difference.
    What I would like to know is: How much trash is produce a week by all the people that live in Earth?

    Be the Change

    It made me feel good because we were helping to put mulch around the trees to make them healthy.It was good because many trees are dieing because there is no rain. What we did was to take the mulch around the trees then make is deep in the center of the tree so when it rains the water stays inside. .It makes you feel good to help the community to make it a nice and cleaner place to live in.I would like to help pick up trash that people throw in the ground,and I want to help clean that up to have less pollution in the area.I think this can help you learn that people don't really care about the planet,but we have to take care of it because it is are only home.

    Mini Game

    The hardest part to make the mini game was to past the pizza in there using the code of the carrot.It was hard because there was no particular code for it and didn't say were to put it at.Then the teacher help me where to put the code and how to make it work, and show me were I had the code wrong.
    The best part of the mini game was to get the game finish and how to work with It.The last part I guess what the best park because that was when I finish the game saw how cool It was.Also adding the background to make the game come more alive.
    The worst part was when I got the pizza to move, but then the other things would freeze and had a horrible time with it.I didn't exactly knew were to put the code at and what codes to use.I knew that the carrot code ,but I just need part of the code to make the pizza move.It was hard because It didn't have you the code for it or tell you where to put the code at.It was a challenge to me to get the code to work, but at the same time it was good for me to learn better to work with Adobe Flash.

    Children of Heaven

    The movie we watch in class was about a family that were poor and were Muslims and were nice people and need more money to survive.The movie started about how the big brother lost his sister's shoes at in a store were they sell vegetables.He had to pick from the little potatoes and when he was picking them some one came and toke the bag were he had it.After he was done he could not find the bag then drop the oranges and the employed told him to get out and he ran all the wall to his house.He sister was inside the house and she ask Ali were the shoes were and he said he had lost them and she started to cry,but he told her he was going to get them back.He went back to the store and look for them and they kick him out again.So he told her she could take his shoes,but had to wait outside the neighborhood to give them to him because he goes to school in the afternoon.So the sister was at school and she was shy to show her shoes and they were in P.E and a girl slipped because of her shoes.The teacher said the best thing were to wear sneakers.When she got home they trade shoes and Ali was late to class, but he made the top three bast grades in class.So then he got home and the sister was embarrassed to wear the shoes because they were dirty so they was them.It started to rain and he sneakers were getting wet.Then Sarah found out that another girl got her shoes.Sarah follow her to were she live.Then the dad had a sermoning.His dad and Ali went to find job for him and they found some and got pay.Then Ali got late to school and the Principal said it he needed to go to home but the teacher talk to the Principal and let him stay.Then Ali enter into a race and he won first place but he wanted third to win the sneakers for his sister.They did not know that his dad bought some shoes for them.
    No  it did not because I thought they were going to be hatting Americans and wanting to kill them.It fit that the women's and girls had to wear turbans and were very religious.The man did not have the big beards and did not wear the turbans and did not hate America and did not worry about that.I learn that not all of them hate America and have more important things to worry about.They can be very kind.Ali was a person who would help other people with less things and worries about his family.I know because he had a pen to his sister that he won and that he wanted to win new pair of sneakers for his sister.
    Muslims
    Its about were most Muslims live at and what they do for the religion.I think it is important that because the people in the movie were Muslims.

    What happened?

    What I think that happened in September 11-2001 was that terrorist have the bad mind to blow up two of the most important towers in the world.Why would they do this knowing they were going to die.I want to know how they plain this over the years and how they go into the country with fake passports.Why didn't the the passengers in the plain figure out what was happening and could save the worldtratecanter.Why did the president went to war with Iraq and not from were the terrorist were from.I think that Obama did a good job taking out the most wanted terrorist Osama bin Laden.Also how Osama bin Laden was hiding for ten years and we could not find were he was.September 11,2001 change our life's,but many brave fireman,police,and paramedics save many peoples life's.

    Danger of a single story

    A single story is how people with darker skin color get judge and don't have the same respect as richer people or lighter skin color.How adults now she a teenager wearing long T-shirt and saying that there not good people but some times the parents buy it so they don't have to buy more so it would last them a longer time.
    I have had a personal story that when I'm out in the street playing soccer with my friends they think were bad people and poor.They judged us and don't have an idea how we are and why are we playing soccer there.Just because we can't buy things that they can buy don't mean we are in a gang or something.
    I had another single that people that  have more money ask me were do you parents work and before I can even they say your mom cleans house right, and they also think that my dad works in construction.They think also that I go to schools that are bad and don't have the same education as them.

    A game like that is from the streets or war say that they are poor and compare our country ton other country's and saying our country is better and always win.Also in the street games saying like our neighborhoods are bad and don't have good people or they are in a gang and are poor.That we can hurt people and don't have education.

    Cyberbullying

    I learn that getting bully online can get you to do some of the worst things, and get to kill your self.That is not fun to do that and make other people feel bad about them self's.I have not get bullied but I know some friends that had. Is not cool to make them feel bad about them self's,or don't know what to do.
    What I think that the characters in the movie could of done differently was to tell an adult right away.Taylor could of told the principal to talk to the girl's dad about her attitude was. Taylor could of also block the the user name and report the messages to the webmaster.If it got way out of control she could of go get some help instead of taking the bully by her self.This shows that cyberbullying is growing more and more and that is making people try kill them self's.
    I think that in the whole United States there should be a law against cyberbullying.Bullies this days bully other people to make them self's feel bad about them self's or because they are jealous for them.Also because what are they are interested in like boy or girl and can get them to commit suicide.

    iPads for Kids

    I think that having ipads in school could be good because will don't have to us the textbooks.It could also be bad because kids could go in the Internet wild they have to do work or something.Ipads have a lot of good tools to us and it could help the students to learn better or to understand it.This could have less work and faster and make the class fun for the students and that they could get much more work done in less time.Also one bad thing is that the Internet is not working you could not us the Internet for some class work.

    playing Games To Get Ideas

    In cray taxi what will got from that game is that will can make our police car to chace the drug dealer car to get him and stop him.Also what will could do is put some cars to make the game much harder and they have to move to the other side to past the cars.Also what I like about mini golf game is that it tell you your score at the end.On Taxi mania you have time to get to the check point.Also will can make the car move slow then fast them go faster.

    A Visit From the President

    Dr.Barack Obama I think you sould come to our school because will had great students and very smart.Will had two class that other public school don't have .One is service Learning that teaches us about the community.The second one is Globaloria that if a computer class that show us how to do games and do blogs.I think it would be awesome to meet the president of the United States.
    I think the school TechBoston Academy school was lucky to meet the presidant of the United States because he has try to get the United States of it's troubles.Obame has done a lot to help the Latin American people but he just can't get it.

    Blogging About Blogging

    I think if the school i went didn't allow me to to blog it would not be good for me.Blogging helps us to get a better idea how to spell a word and that can get faster to write.Blogging also helps us to become much better and to not have lots of mi spells.In my opinion  i think blogging dose help you because now i don't have lots of problems writing a complicated word.

    Reflection

    1. Describe your team's game topic and talk about the most important concept you want your players to learn.
    The topic of our game is drug dealing,the most important concept that Mexico is a dangerous state and is not a safe place.
    2. How did the ideas you discussed in "Imagining Your Game" come together to help your team decide on a game topic?
    That this problem is happening every where but is mostly in Latin America
    3. Tell us more about your team by saying who has what role, and how you work together.
    My friend came out with the ideas and I draw them and he draw some and draw the rest.


    4. What kind of research did you do to find information to express the game topic? Examples: books, films, web searches....etc.Will search about what his going on in Mexico of the violence

    5. Explain the game play. What does the player have to do?

    The game is going to be about that you are a secret agent that follows the drug dealer and look were he goes and then bring backup to capture them. 6. Has this changed since you first started planning your game? How?
    Yes because at first it was about to stop the drug dealers coming to the united states and no will change it to stop the dealers at the same state from passing.

    More Thoughts on Globaloria

    I have learn how to keep my self safer from the internet and to put links on the blogger.Also how to make images move and to control them.I like more things to do in the wed and not do boring stuff.Making our game is going to be a fun activity for us to do.There is also how to trace images in flash and to draw.

    Mad Hot Ballroom

    The massage of the movie was a program to make the kids stay in school and not be out their in the street also to be a better person.To do something that the kids would like and make them a better person and to be a great model for their kids.Also it is going to help them in the future to stay out of gangs and not smoking mar iguana etc.This would help them when they to prom or to be a singer,dancer.To show them what path is right.

    My choice

    What am going to do this weekend is go to my dads house and to gang out with my bigger brother.Also to see my baby brother and baby sister.Play some football with my brother and his friends.

    Teams

    What I think of working in groups can be go or bad because they can give you ideas and how to make something better. The disadvantages are that if you don't get along can cause problems and fight or disagree with each other.Something that I have learn is that when you do get along you can accomplish something but if you don't then you fail.Also if you want to be with someone also and you are not with him.So what I think about groups is that is a 50 50.
