GAMING

You are to take on the role of a gaming program designer. You need to come up with a new video game. You can choose the age range, sprites, objects, game design, and story. You must also choose a gaming console and your reasoning for choosing it. We have played many, many games in class. It's your turn to design one of your own. It needs to be different! Fun! Exciting! Challenging! And appropriate for the age you choose. Remember, games are rated E, T, M, etc. Make sure yours goes along with the age group.
Paragraphs:
  • Name of the game
  • Design Story (An evil doctor threw three Koalas down in the dungeon because they tried to escape the zoo. They now have been brainwashed and when the main Koala goes in a certain direction, the other Koalas follow. They need to escape each lab without getting blown up by TNT or saws!)
  • Sprites - what they are, what they do, how you control them
  • Objects - the good and the bad. What they do, how they do it
  • Age range - reason behind age
  • Gaming console and REASON
  • Why did you design this game the way you designed it?
