Local Kids Make Games

I thought that the article was really amazing because it really talks about us and how we, being young still, are creating our own games, based on the Social Issue that we picked.Well, Like I said, I really was amazed because not only they were talking about how great our school is by having Globaloria and making our games, but my game was included called, "Race to the White House," which I think is fabulous. Anyways, we are a very exemplary school for others to follow, since I think we are beyond the stars. As I said, I was so proud of myself because on the first day of school, I had many resolutions, and one was to make a playable game for other people to play and then make it to the Globeys. As you can see, I did make all the way, and for that, I am very honored and I have the privilege to see that my game was included in an important article where people can see that we are a hardworking school!
Well, I also think that certain games should have been included. Well, one of them was Climate Changers. They gave facts about these animals that are in danger in the Arctic.I really like their graphics too and I also think that to make a game, you must have an artistic vision. Well, that's all I have to say and I have much more to reach. Well, I am still going to say to myself on the first day of school, "Make a playable game and go on to the Globeys again like I did in 8th grade, so I can be recognized again!" By the way, I was nominated for Special Recognition and I give thanks to Mrs. Arcos because she was the one that helped me with choosing the Social Issue or topic!

Forest Rats-Green Bugs*Michael*
It was one of the best games! I really liked the animation, which looks complicated, but anyways, it was awesome. I think that this is a really interesting topic because I didn't even think about it. I also did like the facts because it makes your game more understandable. I also like the rat and at the beginning. Great job Michael, I really think you deserve something again!

No Gang;More Maze-La Sopa*Laura*
Laura, your game is like awesome! I really like your game because it's actually challenging because when you hit the lines it brings you back to the spot you were. I also like your graphics, it's well drawn and with bright things. I also like the way you put time too, which makes it even harder. Finally, I did learn about gangs and what are the percentages. This game is just amazing!

Final Game

Ana Orozco Posted 5-8-12 Copyright


The name of my team is Yellow Star.
The title of my game is Race to the White House.
The topic of my game is about the Presidential Race of 2012.
The Learning Goal is for you to learn what does a candidate say when asked questions, maybe in real life. When this candidate wins, he/she becomes the U.S president. Not only that, but who makes a good president.
The player will learn about this topic by playing my game by knowing about the candidates too. They can learn what he/she plans to do. If you like his/her idea, then you vote for them. Not only in Race to the White House, but also the real election, that will be taken place in November 6, 2012, so that way, they can vote in real life.
Well, I would've liked to make the winning scenes a little more exciting and at least something with animation.
The most challenging thing in this game was to know what kind of things you wanted to include in your Primary, Secondary, and Winning Scene. This is about the Presidential Race, so it was difficult what to plan in your game and I didn't really want any violence or shooting, since they think about that all the time.
I am really proud of my game because this year, I got to create my OWN ideas. When you are in a team, things might get complicated, in terms of working TOGETHER. One might want something, but the other person might like something else, so I think it's best to work alone, to also improve your skills. Another thing is that you actually learn    by creating alone. For instance, I learned how to work with buttons better, which is the thing that I am most proud of because before, I couldn't make them work, so yeah, I am proud at myself too.
