create a game

     I made 2 graphs on the two programs i looked at one was called create a game you can make a GAME for the design cycle. They each had a section for the games music sketch video as in anmation. the first graph equaled to 14. The game rated was a 3 because i liked i but want to make it better. The video anmation was a 2 because it could be alot better i want to make this game very creative and educational.i also want some hard rounds so everything in the game will change the sence to i want the whole game top be different and fun at the same time it will be educational and fun and they will learn from. I want them to get in to the game as they go and get a very high score i might just put they high score chart and see who can get the highest score in there class and whoever else wants to play. i hope they will enjoy it and learn from it.
    The MUSIC was rated a 4 because i really enjoyed it but i want to make it a lot better the music needs to be fun and creative. I want the music to be fun and loud so they can get into the game. I also want it to be fun as they play and when play and theres a hard round they music will get faster as the game gets harder. The music will change as the level goes the easiest will be the softest as they go it will get louder and more intense. I want the music to be good because i know thats what gets me into the game.
     The VIDEO is like the sence and how it would look thats one of the most important one it needs to be good and intersting so they will want to play. I rated it a 2 because it can be better i want it to be fun also. Also look very educational. i want it to be like a stick figure and as they get a higher score he goes up and if they miss a question they fall. I also want them to have a study guide in the beginging if possiable.
      The SKETCH was rated a 5 because they were really creative and nice. I really liked it that was also has to be really nice because it was very detailed and creative. That has capture the 6th graders attention i want it to be colorful and nice i want details because they little things matter to. They 6ths graders are really young and they will like pretty attractive things i think they would like a game thats fun and detail and nice. i also overall want it to look smart and for them to learn from it.
