TO DO-Day 3

Open a new blog post. Title it "Design project-day 3". Label it "Technology Topics" AND "Technology Skills"

CHOOSE phase (15 minutes)

1. Review your description of your user from DEFINE phase (day 1) and what makes a game fun

WE though that what made a game fun would be moving, that it looks nice and that you can play it with your friends we also liked if the game had music and maybe some prizes.

-Do these descriptions match your game...why or why not? (on blog)

What makes it fun is that a lot of people can play and it a game in which you move around a lot and can play with all your friends and its a mosca style game. Also its challenging since it has obstacles and you have to be quick.

2. What are the most powerful ideas in your model that you want to keep? (on blog)

We would like to keep the mosca style game with obstacles because it is challenging yet entertaining.

3. What are the things you can leave off to simplify the game? (on blog)

We decided to leave off type holes in the middle because it made the game a bit unconventional and really difficult. SO instead we changed them for little players that will block the ball.

IMPLEMENT phase (10 minutes)

Make a build plan

1. What needs to be done to make the model, step by step, who will do each? (on blog)

-Find a very large piece of carboard 

-Make legs and make it like a sort of table legs with soda bottles

-Msake the paddles 

-Make the small players as obstacles

-Each bring a ball it has to be light like a ping pong ball.

-Make the goals 

-The game to be fun and entertaining and hopefully won't break or anything.

2. What supplies do you need besides cardboard, tape, scissors? Who will bring those? (on blog)

We need ping pong type balls and we need colors like paint and stuff to make them attractive

Design project-day 2

  Decide which model has the most strengths (on blog)

Both Sofia's and my model are very good because they were strangely very similar because they were both easy to use and play and simple.

    Decide on the details from the other models that you will include (on blog)

-Will have a gap in the parts of the game that are considered out.

-It will be a 4 player game 

-Both will include two different soccer teams 

-Will have obstacles

-Make the game mosca style

    -Decide what might need to be added or taken away from the model in #1 (on blog)

I have to take away some of the obstcles as it weould be almost impossible to win and also adding the gap that acts like an out of bounds space for the game.

Also need to add some more decoration to make the game look cooler so more people will want to play it.Make the game like a mosca style game so we need to put clear instructions

. Write down feedback (on blog) that you get from classmates

    -What was good

That the mosca style was very creative and it wiill be entertaining for middle schoolers. Also that it is really cool because we can play it with a large group of people and it is competetive. 

The idea is new and its a very fun game also you can play it with a big group of people

    -What should you consider changing?

They told us that we needed to make sure that it was big enough for a lot of people could play and it wouldn't be uncomfortable. Also make sure it is sturdy enough since it is a contact game

Design project-day 1

Juliana Laborde, Alejandro Garcia, Sofia Cuellar

1. Decide who you will make the game for (primary, elementary, middle school or high school), boys/girls/both

For middle school, and coed.

2. Decide on what difficulty level the game will be.

The game will be medium, difficult enough to be entertaining, but not so much that people will get frustrated.

3. Brainstorm ideas about what makes a game fun or successful (at least 5...should be more)

-Game should/can have music

- Be entertaining in difficulty

-Easy to understand

-Straightfoward

-Something you can compete with  people 

-Being able to play with friends

1.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd7x-F5irBY- This is another game at Caine's arcade I though it was fun because it was difficult but, it was still sort of easy and it had good prizes. Give people more oppourtunities because it's a pretty difficult game!

2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cEWELoxEsY-This is a new game for Caine's arcade and it look really interesting because it's difficult but, you can switch out the boards to make it easier or harder. I would imoprove how this one looks to make it look a little more appealing.

3.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byNLUrohbjE I liked this one because I though it was creative but, I don't think iut =s that cool for the audience that I'm targeting. Maybe make it with more steps or just something a little more entertaining.

2. Brainstorm ideas for your game (make sure to keep in mind your target group and what you think makes a game fun)

-Labyrinth we liked this none because we thought it was complex and entertaining

-Ball toss on a board, its a classic everybody likes it

-Shazam

-Music, ball toss.

-relay race type game

-Soccer game 

-Fuzbol 

-Airhockey-labyrinth

3. Choose an idea and lists all the things about this idea that makes it fun/good for the group who will play it.
Road kill air soccer with obstacles, made out of carboard this will be really fun because it is a new take on air hockey and people have teams and win prizes.

4. Make a list of things that you think could go wrong with your idea and how you can avoid those

-Soccer players could break, so we will make them sturdy out of hard carboard

-People might think nit's too complicated, so we'll make clear instructions on the game so people will know how to play.

 -People may cheat, we can put penalties for cheating like loosing all your points.
