Write a short description of a game you make up. Either make a board game (Think back to your CandyLand days) or think of a game that can be played with the finch robot. (The robot can be the reward when you win, or it can be the game controller, or it can be the visual dice (via its color or its movement reflecting a random number), or you can set up a challenge course for it (remembering its sensors can be weak).
Every game needs:
1) A name.
2) A playing board: Draw a picture of it on paper. Tell me how many squares (or other figures) are on the board. Describe the game pieces and how they move. (If you are creating a robot game, you should still have a visual on the computer screen, maybe just pictures that the robot must follow or that tell what is going on with the robot. )
3) Description of a normal turn: What a normal turn consists of. You will add special conditions to this normal turn. Every turn should include the use of at least one random number.
4) Definition of winning between 2 players: Describe what consitutes a win.
3) Special condition: Your game needs something that will cause different logic to apply. This might be a special shape or location, or an intermittent bonus round. Describe the special condition and how a player enters that special condition.
4) Second random number use: (robot games can skip this) Describe a second random number used in some turns. For example, the game could include a deck of possible cards that is picked from when the player lands on a special square (like monopoly's chance card). Describe what makes a player pick a card. (i.e - landing on a special square described in #3 makes you pick a card. The card can be to go ahead one space, behind two or just stay where you are.)
5) Draw at least part of the basic board and a basic player using pictureIt. The basic player can be as simple as a circle or something more complex.Then take a picture of the game board you created (using alt/p or accessories /snipping tool) and copy that into the document that describes your game. (For the robot, draw something you will see on the screen during the game.)
6) Upload the document describing your game to the moodle "describe my game"
assignment. (If it is a complex graphic, feel free to hand in a more detailed
picture on paper.)
