The game itself is easy.

 Chosen Design Proposal:  

Title of Game: The Legacy of Music   

Audience: The audience of this game is Shery Arce because the game is made about her birthday. Additionally anybody who may be related to her, or knows her as a classmate or even is friends with her is able to play this game. Anybody who has listened to Michael Jackson’s music and is aware of his songs is also recognized as a possible player because they will be able to compete.   

Type of game: This is going to be a board game in the form of snakes and ladders.

The title of my game would be: Saving for Dubai. Because my cousin really wants to go there, especially to see the Burj al Arab, the game would be about receiving a trip to Dubai, for his birthday basically. So the first alternative would be a game designed on Gamestar Mechanic. The point of the game would be to collect all points throughout the different levels. The points would represent money of course, representing the savings. But then again, an avatar must avoid enemies, signifying my cousin avoiding to spend money, or even going into debt. Again, the goal of the game is to collect all points without approaching enemies what so ever. The game will consist of only a single player, who will interact with the game components by relating to the message being conveyed – which is to save money. A player must only move around without attacking the enemies, not that there would be any weapons available, and once a player approaches an enemy, he/she must start over from the beginning.

This is my design proposal. I chose this one because it relates to my brother the most and I want to try to use Scratch.

This game will be titled: Omri's Birthday Pong. The Audience of the game is my oldest brother. He is 21 years of age, and is a real gamer. He is very competent when it comes to games. This game will be a computer game. I plan on using Scratch. I will the laptops in school and my personal laptop at home to work on the game. I will also have to use pictures and those can be found using Creative Commons. The game is based, overall, on Pong. This is a historic game that has been remade many, many times. I can download some other versions of pong from Scratch to find some models of hwo to make it.

Computer Game

Title of game: To eat or not to eat; that is the question

Design Proposal #1: Save Nature!

Audience: This game is produced so that people can play as a traveler, going across a map and saving nature on the way. The number of players can be anywhere from 2-4 players, and it is for all ages and any knowledge level.
Type of Game: board game

Tools: Paper, scissors, markers, hard paper, ruler

Description of Game Space: Players shall move across a 40 tile space game to reach the end. Each space will be a square, a total of 40 square tiles.

Description of Components: Players will be moving around characters that will be saving the environment or messing up and having to go back and try again, dice will determine the spaces the character moves and special cards will either make you go back or go forward.

Description of Goal: The goal is to reach the end first and be victorious.

Description of Core Mechanics: Players moving across the board itself by rolling dice.

Description of Rules: Players must play in clockwise order, they all have one turn, and they can only roll once, unless being told so by a space on the game or on a card.

Audience: It would be the people that actually chased Luis with the water throughout the day. That’s because they are main subjects in the event.

I have just recently playing the game "Oligarchy". Oligarchy is a game where you are the CEO of a major oil company whose goal is to deplete the world of all of it's oil deposits by deploying oil wells. There are certain rules, strategies, risks, and goals when it comes to playing this game. It is essential that you keep the oil shareholders in the stock market happy or else you might just get the pink slip (You get fired basically). One of the other rules is that you must try to keep up with the rising demand of oil to be able to make profits, which keeps shareholders happy and fattens up your wallet. Remember that in a game, there are always risks to take. Certain places in the world have very delicate habitats and drilling there may cause unwanted attention from the press or the government. drilling in protected places like Alaska and Argentina would certainly cause people to protest in the drilling areas, stop workers from drilling and even burning down oil wells. in some places, the local government offers assistance against the protestors by means of terrorizing them, hanging them and deploying guards to protect your oil wells.

We will be working in a group of 3: Joel, Moe, Baris.

Our serious issue will be based on war and conflict, while shooter games based on call of duty series will affect our upgraded version of the game.

Today, I played a game called Oiligarchy. I found it at www.molleindustria.org/oiligarchy. I got interested in this game because I have played this game before and I already knew what the game was about.

This game is about the business of drilling for oil in foreign countries. The game shows how drilling for oil negatively affects both the foreign  countries and the United States. You must use the money that you make from drilling for oil to bribe the people in government or "oil" them, so that they pass bills that increase the oil addiction in the U.S. The money that you make must also be used to protect the oil wells in foreign countries. You can bribe the government to go on raids and kill protesters in order to protect them.

Not all games are the same. Some are video games are  played for the relief of stress. Others seem to be designed to challenge the minds of both men and women, young and old alike. While some are played simply for simple fun. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to reach the end. I enjoy playing video games that challenge the mind. I find them to be more fun than action games. But this doesn't mean that I won't enjoy playing a fighting game like Dead or Alive 4. That is actually one of my favorite game.
 

The Good game, The Bad game, and the Ugly game

I posted three podcasts about different topics: history, basketball, and Chinese. These podcasts are informative and fun to listen to.

Stuff You Missed in History Class

• This podcast starts off with a jingle and an introduction to the topic being discussed in the podcast as well as the people who are speaking in it. The speakers introduce the topic they are going to discuss by talking about some real life experiences, or things that people know about. The homepage has a playlist of recent podcasts. Next to the playlist, there are brief descriptions of the latest podcasts that have been posted. The homepage also has a link to the blog that relates to the podcast. The topics that are discussed in the podcasts are ones that history classes do not cover. The speakers explain the details and provide extra information about the events they discuss. Some podcasts clear up common misperceptions about certain events.
