imagining your game

I am writing my game for people who are between 10 and 17 years old. The person who plays my game must be able to have good fast coordination. Since my topic is oil spills the player must already know about oceans. My players will learn about the details of my topic, such as to react fast to an oil spill. The environment for my game will look like oceans. This setting will add to the learning of my game by teaching them skills. The environment of my game will help the player learn by teaching them about the ocean. The player will need to use their knowledge of oceans in order to clean up the oil. A game is a better way of understanding my topic than a quiz because a quiz is so boring and my game is very fun.

Reflect on Your Game Idea

I am designing my game for kids in 6th through 9th grade.The player will learn that when an oil spill occurs it is very hard for people to clean up the ocean.The world in my game will be like our world but close to the gulf coast like the oil spill that occurred.The setting will add to the learning experience because it will show them were an oil spill occurs.The player learns that oil spreads fast and oil can burn so they can set it on fire but they have to be careful because the fish.My game is better than a quiz because quizzes are boring and long and while playing my game the players will learn but at the same time they will have fun while they are doing it.
