My game idea

Here is the basic description of my game idea. My team and I are thinking and putting together a game that deals with mathematics. Simply put, numbers will flash and you will have to quickly type the numbers and add them as you go. If the addition is correct the electricity will flow farther up into a tower. You beat each level by reaching the top. With multi difficulties, this is going to be a good game to help reaction time, attention span, and mathematic capabilities. It is planned out to bevery fun and very helpful for those who have trouble with addtion and some cases multiplication.


What are you most excited about as you start making your game?
As the end user, I am most excited to text and play the game when it is all finished or at least close to being done.

Mini Game

Was it hard to make your mini game?


It was very difficult for me to create my mini game. I found that coding can get really confusing and hard to understand what goes where. Also, the process of uploading all of the content was rather stressful because, it would take forever to upload and once they were uploaded they were in the wrong area.


What was the best part of this topic?


The best part of this topic was the ending. I felt somewhat accomplished once I completed all the steps and uploaded the files.

The worst part?


The worst part,to me personally, was embedding all the codes to apply it on to my Wiki.

My favorite type of games are first person shooter. Call Of Duty is my all time favorite because, it has very good online gaming and the graphics are incredible.

Does this topic give you a new perspective about playing games? Why or why not?

It does not, my topic has nothing to do with the types of games I like to play.

My topic

My name is Zach. I am making an educational game for game design and I was asked to have a topic for my game I am attempting to create. My topic falls under mathematics and to be more clear since math is a broad topic, the sub topic is complementary angles.
To research about complementary angles and the definition of, I went to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_angle. There I got information that told me exactly what type of angles they are and why they are called complementary angles.

Any Two Angles That Forms A Right Angle (90 Degrees)
