8 P10 - Bloxels

Using bloxels, Abbie and created a game board. We made this because we wanted to do something easy that we could do to give us more time for our last project. We made a game board and tried our best to make the game difficult to beat.

During this process, I learned how to use the game. I also learned how to put everything together and the controls for the game. I learned what color blocks went with what kind of item in the game.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative thinker because we had to change around what blocks we had and where we had them so our game board would make sense. We also wanted to make our game a little more difficult to beat.

A challenge I overcame on this project was being able to make our game harder to beat. I was able to overcome this by adding more of the enemies and the spike blocks so your health would go down. Once the game was harder it was kind of an issue on trying to beat the game.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the length of the game. The reason I would change this is because the game was kind of short after you killed the enemies. I think it would be cool if we added more of a storyline to the game.
