Additional Information:
In order to effectively provide a math theme to our game, our lab has decided to do a role playing game. The game will take place in a city and each table is going to create a certain part of the city. Each part of the city will be useful to learning a different part of the math curriculum in the GED. In each portion of the city, there will be a character that will act as a sort of a guide. These characters are going to be fundamental to the actual teaching of the material.
The lab also decided that they wanted a menu bar at the top of the game. The menu bar would allow the character to see their inventory. It is also a way to place a save button and any other buttons that we decide to choose. Integration is also a concept that the lab has been working on. The way game maker is designed, it is best that each team creates a series of rooms that will be the portion of their level. When their level is completed, all that has to be done is to create a door that will move the character from one area to the next.
Accomplished this week as a lab:
- Created the general story line and theme
- Divided each group into different areas of our theme
- Decided on the game type (Role Playing)
- Finish the start-up screen and template for the game
- Create game interfaces
- Finalize main story line, and game design
