Tech 10 Birthday Game Project: Saida

Discussion by: 12khansa on Wed, 2010-06-02 12:41 with 6 comments

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.

Tiltfactor - Looking for Employment

Today, I played a game called Tilitfactor. I found it at http://tiltfactor.org/layoff/. I got interested in this game because it was quite different, in a confusing way, from the other games, it kind of looked like memory match.

Tilitfactor is about matching the job qualities of people. In order to gain money, you need to match three workers in a row. It is somewhat like connect four, but it only does not work diagonally and you just need to "connect three." Plus, just because people look like they are dressing the same, they are not "matchable." So when you click on a person, you have to make sure that you read their jobs careers.

The game works like this: you click on a person. Once you click him/her, you receive a brief description about what the person does. That way, you can match them to others, like I said before.

The components of chess are a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid, two kings, two queens, four bishops, four knights, four rooks, and sixteen pawns; which are divided equally for the two players. The players are usually referred to as black and white. Since chess is a board game, the space is the board itself. There are many rules to chess depending on which piece you move. For the pawns, if it happens to be the first move, you can move it 2 spaces forward; but if it's not the first move, you can only move it 1 space forward and can only attack diagonally. For rooks, you can move as far as you want, as long if it's either horizontally or vertically. Knights move in an L shape, where they can either move 2 spaces horizontally and 1 space vertically or vice versa. Unlike the other pieces, the knights have the "ability" to jump over other pieces. Bishops can move as far as you want, as long if the movement is diagonal. The king can move either diagonally, vertically, or horizontally, but only 1 space. The queen can do any of the movements the other pieces do, except the knights'.

Not all games are the same. Some are board games played for developing or and/or improving logical skills. Others seem to be designed to kill boredom since game-makers are trying to make money. While some are played simply for addiction. Whatever game it is, the goals are always the same: to develop or create skills. I enjoy playing games because it makes time productive. By this I mean that instead of doing something that is not really getting your attention, playing games can set your mind to focus on it. Also, it can prevent you from worrying about what's happening at the time, like all the things going through your head that might have given you a bad day.

My experience on YouthVoices has helped me develop skills over the year. I was able to learn about how I learn best.

Final Reflection

I have learned so much about animal cruelty and animal abuse. I learned that it affects the people who care about animals in the same way.

Are we forgetting?

I remember my teacher told me "Why are people behaving so cruel to animals? -Are we forgetting that they're our friends?" This made me think a lot because animals are our friends!

I learned how we get our meat. The chickens and cattles are not gone through a nice process. The way farmers treat "their" animals is beyond wrong. I could not believe it.
