Exam

Our game topic is on saving the life of  animals lost at sea trapped in the Gulf Coast oil spill. I want my players to learn how much is done to clean up and rescue animals when an oil spill occurs and the danger thats caused. When i researched on the oil spill to get an idea on how my game would work i found that the coast guard does alot so i had a plot to try and put together missions on flying a helicopter to put out fires and clean the oil that is spilt. I then later thaught of the animals that are cleaned up and rescued and I descovered a rescue boat. I tried to tie it in and make it educational by learning simple facts on the animals that we care for and save at sea. By doing this I also learned that i could have two missions and tie the questions together. Then i got the idea on the mission to also make it fun by letting you drive the boat in the ocean and dodge obsticals such as sharks and oil while rescueing animals and when dodged and completed each mission you answer the questions. I came up with the idea when i was playing some of the games on globaloria that saved animals and then remembered the Dawn commercials stating that there the soap used to clean the oil off the animals skin. I thaught that it was the perfect educational game and that maybe by completeing this game for people to play that they will want to make a difference by keeping the enviroment cleaner or just learning simple facts on the animals out there during that oil spill. The challenge I had putting my game together was finding someone who wanted to do the topic I had because everybody else wanted something a little more vilont and didnt think my idea was cool. I asked around and i found one person who wanted to help me and we came up with a name. We named our team airbourne because we try to shoot high for our goals and we take pride in our hard work and because our idea we can show the world how fun our game can be. I help out with game ideas and drawing scenes and explaining all the ideas i have for the game while my partner on the other hand can do it all. She can help draw the scenes and she understands my ideas and i watch her work on flash and make my game come true. She is the tallented one and im just the guy with the ideas. Without my partner i wouldnt make it shes the works in this operation because I can only try to understand the flash and its confusing. In the game your goal is to save the animals on water while your team in the air tries to pick up oil with a magnet and put out water with a water basket like to ones used in the forest fires. Once you complete this you will see the improvement in the ocean and answer questions and facts while learning more about the Gulf Coast. The player will also have fun with the action in this game by dodgeing sharks and trying to put out fires without crashing your helicopter. This changed later on because I noticed how boring and plain my game would be so I decided to put a twist on it by putting sharks that come at you instead of dodgeing oil i just added obsticles.The only Flash resources I learned was traceing scenes and adding background music by wathcing videos. Everthing else seems complicated my partner is still trying to figure out more about the buttons and linking each scene I do not know how she does as much as she has accomplished.The most difficult topic for me was the information on the oil. I tried to figure out how they cleaned it but I latter found a National geographic website that showed behind the scenes and valuable facts that made me understand more on how the game will come together.
