Post of the Day

List a new idea or concept you've learned about your game topic since you started this course. How did you come to learn this? What sources were helpful to you in gaining this understanding?

I don't know that I really learned anything new about my topic. My topic is pollution, and all the science classes covered it at some point or another. Therefore, I already knew the concept of littering, etc. The sources I found helpful in refining the ideas I already had were mainly places like recycling centers, pollution readings, go green websites, etc.

2. Do you plan on taking Game Design II next year? If so, what kind of game do you plan on designing? What can you do between now and next year to improve your knowledge for flash? If you are graduating or not planning on taking Game Design II, how has this class helped you in understanding how games are made and how much work goes into game design?
    
     - I refuse to take Game Design II next year. This class made me realize that it isn't as easy as it looks to make a game. I didn't know that each movement, each component of the game requires coding and planning. It's a lot harder than I thought.

1. Did you get any new games over the holidays? If so, what games did you get and how many hours did you play? How does this game compare to your game design?
     - I didn't get any new games over break. I did however play a game I already had for so many hours I lost count. It was good,  and it doesnt compare to our game design at all.
