It helps us and other students to study for a class that we have in common.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Critically investigate the problem and evaluate information from a variety of appropriate sources. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">(3. What game sites did you try out? 4. Where did you get your ideas for questions in the game?) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">3. We tried out Atmosphir and Game-editor, both of which were uncooperative and so we ended up just creating a board game. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">4. We got questions for the game from our biology notebooks.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Provide a detailed explanation of how you will test your product against the design specifications. (requirements) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">(5. How did you test your game? 6. How did you make sure your game met all the requirements?) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">5.

We made sure the game met the requirements by checking it against the design specifications throughout the design process.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Design:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a range of possible designs (brainstorm), and evaluate all of them against the design specifications (requirements). <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">(7. What ideas did you brainstorm for your game? 8. Did all your ideas meet the requirements?) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">7. We had many ideas such as using Atmosphir and Gameeditor to create a video game with an A or B answer to move on to the next level. We also had ideas for a board game using cards for the 20 questions. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">8. Yes, all of our games met the requirements, however only the boardgame was cooperative enough in order for us to create it before the deadline.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Choose the best design and evaluate it fully against the design specifications (requirements). <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">(9. How did you choose your final idea? 10. Did you check to make sure your final idea met all the requirements?) <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">9. We chose our final idea through process of elimination, atmoshpir and game editor did not work. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">10. Yes, we checked several times to ensure that our final product met all of the requirements.

<span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Plan:

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">Create a plan that contains a number of detailed, logical steps that describes how you will use your resources and time. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">(11. Explain how you designed your video game. 12. What were your 20 questions? 13. Did you waste time? Explain.) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">1 1. We designed our videogame using brainstorming ideas and comparing them to the requirements in order to ensure that it would work. We eventually came to realize that the most efficient idea that we'd had was to create a board game, and so we did so. <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 20.8px;">12. > 13.
