Mini Game

Was it hard to make your mini game?

It wasnt really that hard to make the mini game, because we already had the code done for us so really what we had to do was to replace the objects with different instance names.

What was the best part of this topic?

The best part of the topic was creating the other new game, which was easy because I already knew what to do, and i had created a spaceship and a star and a meteor which its outer space and what you have to do is hit the star to get points, but if you hit the meteor you lose points, (Go onto my wiki on my projects page to play the game)

The worst part?

The worst part of creating the mini game, were doing the code over, since it has been a long time being in flash and doing the code again, but now that I did it, I already know what to do.

Critical thinking can do a lot of things for science, like what the game is about, to really think about how to stop the virus of Aids and how to stop it from preventing and keep going with a new protein that they found and could work to stop it.

If you could solve a mystery through gaming for any kind of disease or illness in the world, what would it be?

The illness that I would want to solve for would be cancer, because most people can have it, and its a very bad thing to have that can lead to death, and It would be a great idea to find a protien to cure cancer and prevent it from happening.

Mini Game

Do you play games during your free time?

Yes,I do play games during free time, but only when I have free time and only when I get done with all my assignments, also when the teacher says that we can play games on the computers.

Which ones do you play, and why are they your favorite?

The most kind of games that I play are most action games where you mostly get to do a whole bunch of stuff on the game and I also like adventures game where you get to do activities on the game and go through different stages. I really enjoy these games because they are very fun to play and sometimes easy to play and beat the levels. I also like these type of games because I get into them and start playing them all the time.

Does this topic give you a new perspective about playing games, why or why not?

Actually these games that I play really do give me new topics on creating a new game. Because when playing other games you can get new ideas on what to do and almost how to be able to work with the game, like how to play it.

9-11-11

How old were you on 9/11?

On 9/11 I was only 3 years old

When did you first learn about the attacks and who explained the events to you?

I had first learned about 9/11 when I was 7, I remember on the new they were talking about it and how its been 4 years already on the attack, then I remember going to school and reading passages about it, and the teacher explaining what had really happened.

What kind of impact did these attacks have on your life or parents lifes?

Well it really did scare me hearing about it and watching videos, well it really has an impact on my cousins since they always travel around the world and go on planes, but now that what happened that day they had started not riding the planes as much and started driving in cars to out of state.

What was the issue of this game?

The issue of this game is to stop the planes from crashing into the towers and from letting them fall down.

How do you feel about it?

I feel that its a bad game to make and to play because you have to kill other people and knock down the planes and it has to do with the towers that a lot of people died in.

What is the problem with portraying on such an awful violent event through a video game?

It wouldnt be a good thing to play if you have to kill terrorist that had killed many people back then and that the main problem is from stopping them from hitting the plane.

How can you make sure that your web games tell the whole story or teach a lesson in a honorable way?

It would be better if you didnt have to do with explosions and crashing into towers it would be better if the game just only gave out facts and talked about what happened on that day.
