Civics-

I found it hard at the beginning to think of a Civics idea, but after thinking for awhile I finally got it. Also, when the Globaloria people came, they helped my team. We also found it easier to choose a topic after playing some other civics games.

Week in Review 10/19-10/23

Well, this week we made a lot of progress. Partly because of the Globaloria people gave us a new idea. We have worked really hard. The coding is still hard though. But we can do it! TEAM ETHNIX!

1.In our game we gain campaing money to become the next president.
2.They answer questions about their character.
3.It teaches about the function of campaigns. You raise money in the game, and see what it takes to become President of the United States of America!


here is an example of the action in our game. (Ours isn't this violent.)

10-12----10-16

This week we worked on our games. We learned how to make buttons. We also learned how to trace stuff, I had trouble with it. Buttons are hard to use, its such a headache. Friday, we played some civics games. They were buggy.

10-5-09 --- 10-8-09

This week we did our Paper Prototypes. It took my team a while to get started, but once got started we just kept flowin' with ideas. It was a really easy week. We did lots of code, gave me a couple headaches, but it is all good!

Last Week

Last week was very interesting. It was the first time I have ever done a paper prototype. I found it to be fun. It was challenging printing off the pictures to put on the paper, but in the end it was worth it. Our video turned out good.
