Design Project-Day 3

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 :)
