The task was to design and create a game in either scratch or python to represent a societal issue in the world.
I created my game in scratch and represented human rights. The game is made to show how there are people out there that work dangerous jobs that could end their life for barly no pay.

Gameplay
In the game you play as a farmer who does tasks required around the farm. for each task he gets paid a couple cents and has a chance to get hurt and loose a heart. the goal is to get $4.00 before loosing all your hearts and dying. Once youget your savings to $4.00, a bus arrives and you can purchase a ticket to leave and try and find a better life.
Every time you press the start button it changes the background from day to night to polluted.
Reflection
I am very happy with how my game turned out and that it works. I would have liked to make it more complex or go more in-depth with some of the tasks. I do regret making it to simple and the way I made it, making big changes would be very difficult. I would have preferred the game to have more to it than just walk up to sprite and press a butont.
