Making the game

At first, when Mandy explained to us what tasks we were going to be doing in the seminar yesterday, I was very sceptical whether I'd enjoy it or not. Basically the task was to use the computer programme '2Do It Yourself' which gives you tutorials to make your own game. I chose to make a Princess Maze game, at the start it really annoyed me and I found it very hard to use. I found it really frustrating, but after watching the tutorial videos a few times it became a lot clearer on what to do and how to do it. I found that the game could be a very useful  way to teach young children basic moral issues or basic maths etc.

My game was called: Race against the trolls. And there was a princess who had to travel along the maze and collect gold coins to gain points, whilst avoiding the ugly trolls, and if the princess came across the magic fairy you would have extra bonus points.

After the initial scepticism I enjoyed the design aspect of the game and found it quite interesting.
