 My program will use keyboard to control the game. The sprites will move when you click on the controllers. If there are two players, Player 1 could use keys like W,A,S,D and Player 2 could use the control keys. When there are two players, the first person to complete the task(solving science problems) is the winner.

2- Audience specifications
 The game will use 'sciency' colors like green, yellow, and blue. The characters (sprites) will be in bright fluorescent colors so that they stand out against the background and are easily seen. 

3- Audience/Client specifications
  The game will be played by students from grade 6 to grade 10, who have knowledge of grade 8 science. Grade 6 and 7 students can preview what they'll learn, and Grade 8,9 and 10 can review what they've already learned. I hope it helps the students learn science efficiently and have fun learning new knowledges.

4- Characters and Graphics
 There will be 3 characters you can choose in the game. A dog, a cat, and a whale are the three sprites. The dog will be yellow, the cat will be white, and the whale will be light blue. I won't give them each a specific gender because such things aren't important and it will rather narrow the choice of characters that students can choose.

5- Education value
  It will teach the students science in depth. The game will have science problems from various levels and units so that the students can practice 'every' scientific calculations that you get to learn in grade Grade8.]]> 2018-04-26 00:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/255473785 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774392   The background is going to be mazes that look like laboratory experiment tools, such as beakers and round bottom flasks. My characters are animals that are interested in science. These soft and cozy looking animals will make little children want to play the game, too. ]]> 2018-05-08 03:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774392 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774503 It's too simple, sorry.]]> 2018-05-08 03:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774503 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774737  The game will use controllers that are on the keyboard. It will make the sprites move and get out of the maze. Of course, it isn't 'that' easy. While the sprites find their way out of the maze, there will be science questions blocking the sprite's way every 30 seconds. ]]> 2018-05-08 03:27:09 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/258774737 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/259491285  I completely forgot to write about the keyboard controllers and the instructions about the keyboard keys 'W, A, S, D" in the flowchart. I'll correct the flowchart when I have time. Also, I think I will change the game so that only 1 person can play it. There will be no two-players version, because I think it will  be hard to program. A one-player game will be enough for a beginner like me. The sprites will be introduced at the beginning of the game and will walk inside the maze, so I'll need to draw at least three versions of each sprite; the face, and two walking(legs moving) versions. So that will sum up to 9 drawings, because I have three sprites in my game. In addition, I'm going to change the background because three is too much. The two backgrounds are going to be named 'brick wall' and 'red wall'. Brick wall is the beginning background of the game and red wall is the main background.]]> 2018-05-10 01:09:25 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/259491285 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/260704200 1.

So, I decided to make a HUGE change the whole game; to change my game like Mario. The sprites are going to run and solve questions that pop up. Each question will give you 100 points. If you get it wrong, you earn 0 points.]]> 2018-05-24 00:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/263199922 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/263199970 I started programming before I finished planning.

Q2: How many backgrounds are there in this game?
A: There are two backgrounds in my game. It is because I changed my plan in C3 and C4.

   I couldn't make any science questions because I didn't know how to program questions to pop up in the screen. I will have to make science questions to make my game an 'educational' game.

2) Games and what makes it interesting
   The cute characters that are colored in bright colors and the scores you get when you solve the science questions.

3) How to program a computer game
   You can use scratch to make a copy of my game.]]> 2018-05-31 01:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/264663706 59422_5 https://padlet.com/59422_5/scratchthemac/wish/264664601 1) The education of the game
 It has a big influence in teaching children science. They can either review or preview Grade 8 science. 

2) Game and what makes it motivating
 You get points when you solve the science problems. The cute characters are also a motivation for playing the game till the end.

3) How to program a computer game
You can use scratch or other programs,
