My teams topic is about protecting the wolfs from being extinct.The important thing about our game is to teach kids to protect their wild life.We made up with our game pretty quickly because we had the same game topic.we decided  our game topic easily because we had the same one.Me and my partner are splitting every job in half i do half she does half. The drawings   were going to do separably  and when we do the the programming we paste them all in the same flash page.The kind of research that we did was general information .A example is how long they live what they eat.....etc.You play our game by using the arrow keys and space bar to move.The player has to get the wolf to its cave avoiding hunters ,traps and,bears.I think the brush tool and the bucket tools are going to be the most use full.The most difficult  curriculum topic has been game facts

Boombot

I am writing my game for people who are between 8 and 16 years old. The person who plays my game must be able to make the Boombot through the portal. Since my topic is about trajectory the player must already know about how  to aim. 

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


My players will learn about the details of my topic, such as trajectory and how to aim. 




WHERE does your game happen? 


Describe the world you will design for your game. 




The environment for my game will look like maze with allot of space and some obstacles and it will have a portal . 




How will this setting add to the learning experience? 


This setting will add to the learning of my game by  showing that the TNT will make him go higher . 

What happens in the world that helps the player learn? 


The environment of my game will help the player learn by  putting obstacles and things that help them in the game. 


How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game? 


The player will need to use their knowledge of  making the Boombot going through the portal from the other levels in order to pass the other harder levels.

I learned that Darfur is a very dangerous place.In the game you can chose different players and they all have a different speeds do to their age if your older you cant run as fast to show how different the characters are in real life. Therese also a part where you have to maintain your own camp and it shows you what  a Darfur persc has to do in real life.You can also write a letter to the president to tell him to help the people in Darfur.I think its important to try to help  the less fortunate in any way that i can.
