This week we finished our power point and then presented our games. I didn't enjoy having to dress up for our presenting though because it was kind of useless because globaloria people weren't here.

weekly review

No we haven't had to any additional research for our game since we did originally.

We have changed our game from fighting to a platform game which we call a race. The civics value that it has though is that you will learn stuff about running a election campaign.

Well this week our problem is that we are trying to get our game to go from the actual game back to menus so that we can ask questions.

11/2/09 - 11/6/09

This week was alright we worked on our games and then had a to do a really long typeing thing to answer questions about our game on our blogs.

About our game.

1. Our game topic is a political campaign only you actually fight instead of the normal type of political fight.
2. It is very political and the characters are real politicians who will have real biographies.
3.First, the start screen will pop up saying "The Political Fight Club". There will be a button that you click to start. When you click that you will be taken to the instructions screen, there will learn how to play our game. You will also learn what our game is about \. Then you click continue, that will take you to the "Select Your Party" screen. After you choose your party, it will take you to the "Stage Select" screen. After you choose your stage, you can select your character. Once you have done all of that, you will see a biography of your character. Once you have done all of that, you will see a biography of your character, get asked a few questions, then you are ready to fight! While you fight you will gain campaign money if you win. If you win, you become the president of the United States of America! If you fail to win ,you will lose, and the opposite party will defeat you. Along the way you will also be quizzed on random facts about our country, your player, your enemy, and other things.
4. Our game “The Political Fight Club” relates to civics because you learn about the campaigning system, some of our political leaders, and ways you can spend campaign money that you will earn. The ways you learn about the campaign system are that you will win money through fights at real campaign events. Then you will learn about some of our political leaders because along with their fighting traits and stats you will get biography traits such as age, party, campaign slogan, and other facts about the person. Last you will earn and spend your campaign money. You will gain your campaign money through winning fights against other political figures. You will then spend your campaign money on actual campaign things such as a real campaign would spend it on ,but instead of actually buying them they will buy you speed boosts, size boost, jump boosts, or maybe a strength boost.
5. It teaches about some of our political leaders and a little about how a campaign works.
6. It deals with a function of government or that is how I would categorize it. It deals with the campaign system is why I would put it under dealing with a function of government.

civics track

I think that for school it is good to do a civics category but, it would be much more fun if we could make our games about anything that we wanted. Mainly because it is so much easier to pick a category when it doesn't have to pertain to civics.

10/19/09 - 10/23/09

Well this week we sort of made a lot of progress on our game. We were doing pretty well until we had a problem that took forever to fix. What happened was Ralph Nader (the animation) gained supper anti stop powers so no matter what we did no stop(){ codes would stop the page when he was doing his thing. Eventually after we finally move the text out of the way of the button we had been trying to get Ralph Nader to stop destroying Ralph decided that he liked it so he then proceeded to cooperate with us and stop when told to so that we could finally successfully link our Start, Instructions, and Party Select pages together. Then on another story the people from Globaloria came in this week and gave us some ideas on was to improve our game and talked to us about a competition we were having and stuff which was pretty cool and that was pretty much it for this week.
