Evaluating Game Platforms 2

Gamefroot vs Gamestar

Gamefroot is a platform based on java which allows you to drag and drop grass terrains, spikes, moving tiles etc. Gamestar mechanics is also a drag and drop platform but is much simpler to use and does not have as much equipment to change. I personally enjoy Gamefroot because there are more options and challenges your thinking. I like the graphics on Gamefroot better as well because they are more realistic.

WALT: Evaluating Game Platforms



I am evaluating Game platforms. Our first trailer we watched was the game Journey and it was for PS4. The music in this trailer was building up which left me to believe there were many twists and turns in this game. The graphics were high quality but I felt like they didn't give you an accurate view of what playing it was really life. The game looked as tho it was a first person where you could choose whether or not you wanted to do instead of just following a script. This game will not be for everyone because some people prefer more action or violence, and this game looks like a puzzle game.


















 The next game I am evaluating is Never alone also on PS4. This game is at industrialist level so the graphics and story are very well thought out. This game has more actin in it compared to the last. The music builds up the story and as you get further along and the game becomes much more intense. It is very engaging game which was made by troubled high school students not going to school, doing drugs and not getting anywhere in life. This gamer opened up career paths and took over 2 years to complete. The game won many awards such as INDIES OF E3 favorite gamesbeat,2014 also OFFICIAL SELECTION INDIECADE,2014 and many more.

Do you think making a game would benefit our community?

Error Control

Our task was to further our knowledge about how a computer works. We started off by putting ourselves into groups then making a 7x7 grid out of small black and white cards. We then had to correct our mistakes by making sure all the blacks were even and all the whites were even, we did this by adding another row to the top and the side. Once we finished doing that we took turns in our group turning around, then another person changing one card and we had to figure out what the error was. After we did this we went online and played a short game where we did the exact same thing but individually. I enjoyed doing this task because it helped me understand the principals of Parity cards.
