The learning topic for my game is Life's Biomolecules. Biomolecules will be presented throughout the game for the player to identify what a Lipid, Carbohydrate, Protein and Nucleic Acid is. The most important thing I want my players to learn is how to identify what biomolecules is which.
I did random resourceful research. I specially looked at general websites such as SAT Notes. I learned every piece of a biomolecule. What the building blocks of a protein are: amino acids. How monosaccharides and disaccharides are different but both are involved in Carbohydrates. I basically learned the concept of every molecule.
My ideas changed quite a bit as I worked on my game because as I was putting it together new thoughts popped into my head. Maybe I should make it difficult for the player by adding a harder game ingredient. Maybe I shouldn't add a health bar to confuse the player, etc.
The Game Ingredients that have been the most helpful for me are the following; Background Music, Splash Screen, Relative Mouse Positioning, Parallax Scrolling and Flying Mechanics. They all add up to make the perfect match of entertainment for the player.The game ingredients page on the wiki has been obviously the most resourceful because it tells me step by step how to do something.
The most difficult part for me of making my game was when I got stuck on the very first steps of the game such as the score counter and collecting enemies/collectables. Everything was correct and for some reason my games wasn't working. I worked and checked everything for about 2 weeks and nothing ever happened. I tried my best to figure it out by myself but it was impossible. Until finally I asked my teacher for help. She couldn't take fix it either, we sent it to the globaloria helpdesk but it became worse. I had to start over in a new computer, gladly my teacher helped me with that to get back on track.
I am most proud of my collectables and enemies because they are graphically designed in Flash. My design is just too science looking and cartoon wise. I love my game and am very proud of myself for it. It's amazing! It has great design for 8th graders to understand Biology wisely.
