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.
