TO DO-Day 3
Choose Phase:
1. Review your description of your user from DEFINE phase (day 1) and what makes a game fun for that group.
We said the game would be fun for Primary Girls because:
"-It is a mini pond that has fake plastic fish in it with hoops in the top. The fishing pole will be a stick with a small paper clip that fishes the hooks. Then if they fish something, it will have an addition problem and if they solve it they get a prize (we don't know what the prices will be yet.)
-Colorful
-We will make it girly.
-Fun to play.
-Has a prize."
-Do these descriptions match your game...why or why not?
-Our game is very colorful! We have many different colors of ducks and we will decorate the game so it is very pleasant to look at.
-It will be girl because of all the decorations and extra pictures we will add to it.
-It is fun to play (at least I think it is.) This is because its not so repetitive since the mathematical problems in the bottom of the duck are different each time.
-It does have a prize, it's candy. Candy is a something everyone likes so there will be no complications with that.
2. What are the most powerful ideas in your model that you want to keep?
-The math, we don't want the game only to be fun, but educational too.
-The ducks are what makes the game so that we are keeping.
-The prizes.
3. What are the things you can leave off to simplify the game?
-Before were going to do the game out of cardboard and tape but that is illogical because the water will destroy the cardboard so we are using plastic instead.
IMPLEMENT phase (10 minutes) Make a build plan
1. What needs to be done to make the model, step by step, who will do each? (on blog)
-Put the cardboard around the plastic tub so that the decorating part is done.
-Put holes in the ducks head so that we can fit the paper clips in.
-Put the paper clips on the duck that act like the "hooks."
-Add paperclips to the end of the fishing poles so that they can hook them unto the duck and catch it.
-Add the mathematical part to the ducks heads.
-Put sand in the bottom of the tub
-Put the ducks in the tub
-Add the decorations that make it look like and "aquarium."
-Verify that all the clips work and that there is malfunctioning ones.
-Done :)
2. What supplies do you need besides cardboard, tape, scissors? Who will bring those?
Camila:
-Sand
-Plastic Tub
-Fishing Poles
Beatriz:
-Paper clips
-Plastic ducks
Daniela:
-Cardboard
-Aquarium decorations
-Art supplies
Luciana:
-All of the different types of candy

Design Project-Day 2
-Decide which model has the most strengths
The group decided that the drawing I did was the most accurate because it has the best information and it is very clear to understand what the game is about.
-Decide on the details from the other models that you will include:
-A special key to show what materials are needed to build the game.
-Include something that says that there needs to be a lot of tape inside of the cardboard or it will over-flow.
-Decide on the name of the game.
-The shape needs to be squared so that it is easier to make.
-Decide what might need to be added or taken away from the model in #1:
-Smaller ducks.
-Name/title.
-Square shape.
Mini Model of the Game:
Feedback of the game:
Good:
-Ducks are fun!
-It is educational.
-Realistic.
-Good concept.
Things that could improve:
-The structure so the water doesn't spill.
-Add levels of difficulty.

Design Project-Day 1
Everyone in the group:
Camila Preciado
Beatriz Peña
Daniela Cepeda
Luciana Cataldo
1.Decide who you will make the game for (primary, elementary, middle school or high school), boys/girls/both
- Primary Girls
2. Decide on what difficulty level the game will be.
-Easy, since the girls are small. The game will be primary level.
3. Brainstorm ideas about what makes a game fun or successful (at least 5...should be more)
-That the game has a winner.
-Rules, because then the game would be a disaster.
-Not boring. (ex: colorful)
-Easy to understand.\
-That the winner gets a prize in the end so you get motivated to play.
Reasearching:
- Put the LINK to each on your blog
-and for EACH tell what you thought was good/fun about the game
-and what you think can be improved.
1.First Video link HERE. THIS link was something I saw while doing the research, sooooo cool.
2.I thought this game was so fun because it it very creative and something I had never seen before. It makes me want to play it and that is a quality a game should have. This idea was so interensing and they way they actually built the different birds and everything. You can see that even the parents were having fun and that is something very important in a game... that it is all ages.
3.Something that can be improved is the making the birds a little bit lighter so they would fly farther because the guy had a lot of failed tries.
1.Second link HERE
2. This would be game that Primamy school students would want to play, its very easy to do and kids would enjoy it very much. I loved this game when I was little.
3. Something about the game that he could improve is the size, if the carboard is bigger then there is a berrer chance of the beanbag going through thr hoop.
Third link Here
2. This is not only a fun game, it is also an educational one. This game would be fun to do with the samll kids because they play and learn at the same time. It is easy to do and everything. It is everythig that you want in a game.
3. Something that he can make better is also making it bigger. I like all arcade games in a laarge scale because everything is more fun if it is something new or very big that you have never seen before.
Ideation Phase:
1. Brainstorm ideas for your game (make sure to keep in mind your target group and what you think makes a game fun)
-Mathematical Pond
- Miniature Basket ball
-Mini beanbag launching
2. Choose an idea and lists all the things about this idea that makes it fun/good for the group who will play it.
-Mathematical pond:
This is a very good idea because:
-It is a mini pond that has fake plastic fish in it with hoops in the top. The fishing pole will be a stick with a small paper clip that fishes the hooks. Then if they fish something, it will have an addition problem and if they solve it they get a prize (we don't know what the prices will be yet.)
-Colorful
-We will make it girly.
-Fun to play.
-Has a prize
3. Make a list of things that you think could go wrong with your idea and how you can avoid those
-The game could fall apart so we need to make it carefuly.
-The game could be dull, so we need to add more ideas to it.
-The game could spill, so we need to put a lot of tape inside so it does not leak.
