Reflect On Your Game Idea

WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.)
I'm designing my game for anyone to play.As long as they know how to use arrow keys.They also need to learn how to read so maybe 6+.[:


WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)
My game will teach the player about how much global warming affects the animals and what happens to the animals when there home is gone.


WHERE does your game happen?
  • Describe the world you will design for your game.
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience?

I will make the background look like its at the arctic and have the penguin on the ice with water surrounding it and it will have polar bears and other fish that are in the arctic, in the water or the ice.


HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?

The game teaches people about global warming and what it does to the arctic animals.
The ice melts in the game showing that global warming is happening and the animals all move to where there is ice because all the other ice is melted from the global warming.They learn that the animals all have to adapt and struggle with their homes because of the climate change.


WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?
A game is a better way of understanding my game because a lot of people like games and so they would pick playing a game over doing a quiz because quizzes are boring. Plus games are played by everyone which means if there is facts then they will learn about whatever the topic it is about. You also have to have good  drawings or pictures or whatever or else people will think it looks ugly and boring and not wanna play it and then when they don't play it they don't learn anything and is clueless.[:

March Of The Penguins

    1.Some of the challenges that the penguins had to overcome were the harsh blizards and starvation.


   2.Their habitat challenges their livlihood everyday by the coldness.


  3.They need to adapt to the brutal predators and winters by keeping their babys under the big flap of fat and huddle up in big circles.


  4.There is a long period of time without any sunlight, which makes the climate by making it even colder. without the sun the place will get cold.


 5.  Its important to have the ice solid during breeding time because when the babys hatches, you dont want them falling threw the ice and drown.


6.The climate change can negativly impact the penguins because if there is ice melting then the penguins can die becuase they will be in the water and their predator can eat them. plus then they wont take care of their babys.
