Gaming The System

During this project, my group and I were able to recreate our own version of a Plinko board, naming it Ball Drop. Our inspiration was the original Plinko that premiered on the January 3, 1983 episode and before the game's first play, host Bob Barker explained that the game's name came from the “plink” sound of the chips hitting the metal spikes as it traveled down the board.

I am overall very satisfied with the outcome of our/my product because although you'd think it'd be an easy product to make, and while that statement is somewhat true, there was a "down" for every "up". For example, when it came to the part of figuring out what kind of game(s) or prize(s) we should come up with, we had to use empathy to, in a way, empathize with our audiences likes, as well as dislikes. This project was mostly comprised of collaboration, meaning that collaborating was very important throughout the project. For example, we would've never gotten our board done in time if we weren't helping each other out.
