I liked Cranium, it was a fun game that also integrated a lot of difficult challenges. It was a lot of fun, we had groups which made it more difficult, but also opened up the possibility for more fun and hard challenges. I particularly liked the data questions, mostly because I was good at them. Nothing is better than figuring out the answer to a difficult question. And in a game where those who are smarter are rewarded, and the dumb have to take the long route, it's even better.
As a general rule, I've liked most if not all of the Pixar movies I've seen, from Finding Nemo to Inside Out there hasn't been a movie that I didn't like. But to pick a favorite would be hard, like picking a favorite child. But if I had to chose I would have to say it would be Wall E. The story itself plays to a fear for the future we all have if we don't care for our planet, and then there's the cute love story between two robots. Wall E is also very human like in that he is inquisitive and likes to collect things. The way Pixar made his eyes droopy like a sad and lonely puppy, they made them looks like real eyes, he's a very relatable character.
If I had to pick my least favorite movie, it would probably have to be A Bug's Life, the movies itself was good no doubt; and the animation for the time was pretty solid. But the fact that it was one of the first Pixar movies I'd ever seen, is possibly my least favorite. It's what I would compare all future Pixar movies too, and every movie afterwards would fly past the bar.
My favorite Pixar movie is Monsters, Inc. It takes the idea that children are afraid of monsters and flips it so that monsters are afraid of children.
My least favorite Pixar movie is The Incredibles. I tried to watch it, and nothing that was in the trailer was in the actual movie. The trailer was more entertaining than the movie.
My favorite Pixar movie as of right now is Monster Inc. University. I find it cool how the monsters have to go to school to learn certain ways on how to scare kids. It kind of makes me think that Pixar was kind of basing it off of real life. Like the monsters had to go to school to get an actual job and in real life kids have to go to school to get a job for when they are older.
My least favorite Pixar movie is Cars 2. I didn't find it as entertaining as the first cars movie. I thought that it had some cool things about it like being a secret agent. But in the first movie it actually had a better story behind it.
My favorite Pixar movie is by far Wall-E. This movie has a very unique and interesting story that poses actual legitimate moral questions. It makes you question where humanity is headed as a species. When an animated movie can make you ask these kind of questions, you know it is a good one.
My least favorite Pixar movie is Cars 2. This movie was just bad. The original Cars movie was excellent and I really enjoyed it. However, the sequel was so terrible I didn't sit through the whole movie. The story was impossible to follow and had no relation to the first movie. It was just a train wreck.
The board-game Cranium is a surprisingly difficult game. Generally you'd look at a board-game about drawing, spelling, trivia, and singing as a very easy game, but with Cranium it is far more than that. With this game the Red (trivia) cards require the player to have a deep awareness of a wide variety of pop-culture. The Yellow (spelling) cards require the player to both be aware of pop-culture, but also have advanced spelling (like knowing how to spell hypocrisy (which I had to auto-correct to spell correctly)). Then the Blue (drawing) and Green (singing/songs) force the players to display any and all artistic/musical ability as well as a knowledge of popular songs. All in all the Cranium game is deceptively difficult and requires a diverse and knowledgeable team to succeed.
The game cranium is not as fun as it looks. To be honest I'd found it to be more fun just rolling the dice. The game Is for pedantic people, you need to be quite punctilious when playing such a game. When I was playing the game all i was thinking was Octothorpe lame. The game was intended to be used as didactically which makes it quite a platitudinous.
The Game Cranium is Extremely annoying. It is biased to a specific age group. Definitely not meant to be played on a Friday morning
I did not enjoy playing Cranium. The game is boring and too difficult to be fun. The objects that you were told to make out of clay were completely ridiculous. This made the game irritating and not fun. Also, you need too many people to play the game. I prefer games that only require 2 people minimum to play.

This game is the best football game that has ever been created by a high school student who has never done this stuff before.
Bat capture is a simple time wasting game. The arrow keys are to move, space is to fire. Your goal is to hit the bat as many times as possible before 10 seconds has passed.
This is my game, RED vs. BLUE, which I made in scratch. I got the idea for the game after creating my first "game" (RED DEFENSE), and then spending a little while trying to make a Pong rip-off. Combining what I had learned from making these two "games" I was able to create this game.
Instructions:
Red: W=up S=down D=shield A=laser
Blue: Up Arrow=up Down Arrow=down Left Arrow=laser Right Arrow=shield
Hit the flag! Become the ball! Get to the cheesy puffs, you love them! Use the arrow keys to move, and don't touch black - but don't go too slow, you're being timed!
The goal of this game is to see how long you can last. Avoid any to all contact with the blue lasers. Hearts will give you 10 health point. Once your health hits zero you lose. if you can survive till the end of the song then you win, but you can keep going.
A Timeless Realm
You need to help Donald Trump get enough money to win the 2016 elections. Avoid the evil democrats and try to collect the money. You can have Trump do flips for extra money, and get the pin to shut the democrats up for a bit.
(WASD to move, space to flip
My game is called Galaxy. It is a space invaders type game that only ends when you are destroyed. There are a few bugs in the game and I was unable to add a score counter, but as my first game that I've made I am still proud of this piece of work. There are many ideas that I have for games in the future and thanks to this game I've developed some of the skills I need to start making them. Hopefully you will try my game and enjoy it for what it is. Thank you.
CONTROLS: Right and left arrows keys: Move
Space: Shoot
The space invaders game is a great way to waste time trying to get a higher score, but aside from the drive of competition there the very little reason to play more than a few minutes. The game features an ominous sound track which consists of deep repetitive deep noises which speed up as the enemies get closer to the player.
Space Invaders is a game that I really enjoy playing and its one of my dads favorite games when he was a child. When I get older and when I have kids I'm going to introduce this game to my kids, then I'm going to show them the difference between the games during their generation and classical games that I use to play when I was a kid.
Space Invaders is a game that I personally enjoy a lot. It's extremely addictive and simple. You keep trying to beat your high score. I highly recommend it.
Write a Blog Post that is a brief review of the 1978 classic arcade game Space Invaders Think about the sound, mechanics and the graphics. It should be at least 100 words long and include pictures.
Super Mario Bros. is the first Mario game to be created on the NES system. It is a fun game to play, but can be very hard since every time you die, you have to start over from the beginning. It is also fun since each level is different. The simple controls help to give the game the charm it had when it was first released, and that is what also helps to make the game work, and that helps to keep people playing it for 25 years since it was released. The color of the ground vs the background helped to make it clear where Mario and the enemies were. Overall it is a very fun game, and is even better on the original NES.
1. the game in one sentence very mario like
2.The game was fun because its still a challenging game plus when you run out of lives you have to start over.
3.the game was not boring (see answer 2)
4. yes the game worked well because it was smooth
5. the music was good and works well with the game
The original Super Mario Bros, although it lacks the advanced graphics, mechanics, and abilities present in modern games, it is still fun. It possesses a rogue-like game style which makes the player want to redeem themselves after prior defeats and try the same levels over and over again, despite frustration elicited by those levels. The game accompanies this level repetition with a celebration at the end of each level which makes the player feel victorious. Combined with the transition between levels which prompts players to play the game in blocks of time.
Mario Brothers is a fun, simple, and addicting platforming game. It is a very classic game that millions of people have enjoyed since it first came out. There are countless Mario games that have been made and the character Mario has become recognizable all over the world.
The game play of Mario Brothers is extremely simple, however this simplicity makes it very popular with all types of people. No matter what age or skill level, everyone can play and enjoy Mario Brothers. The controls are also very simple. There are only two buttons making it extremely simple and easy to pick up and play.
The difficulty is so eh. I am very rusty at Super Mario Bros. How in the blue blazes am I supposed to improve my skill? It was fun but, boy was it HARD! :\
This Superman Game Superman tries to defeat Lex Luther. This Demonstrates Competency number 1 because I went back and used skills that we learned at the beginning of the quarter. None of the sprites used in the game were from scratch most were off the internet that I photoshopped and put in the game. This game was much more in depth than the first scratch game I made and the scripts were much more difficult to make. This shows an impact on society because everyone can see the game and leave comments on the game and in todays society more and more people and things become dependent on technology in their everyday life. Technology will only become more prevalent in the future as more work will be able to be done on computers, ipads, etc. I enjoyed learning how to make many of the games in Scratch, UDK, and Game Salad. I walk away from this class knowing much more about video games and the culture and controversy that surrounds them.
Thanks for reading!
For My final id made a 2 level maze in UDK. The fist level of the maze is inside then it wraps outside to a set of stairs to the the second level after you go thru the second maze you finish on the outside of the wall.

Brawl Pack
Attack a brain, an athlete, a princess, a basket case, or a criminal.
This is the layout of my maze. It's not completely finished as of yet, but here is the rough draft. The one big feature i would like to point out is the hallway at the beginning, allowing you to kill yourself when you are in despair, or you just don't care to progress.
I would call my map amazing.

It's bare bones, certainly. But essentially, it's a winding path, which will be full of items that need to be collected, with a final goal on the lowest platform you have to let yourself fall to.
You have made two, 2d games this semester and are now getting a taste of 3d game design by making a maze in the UDK editor. In your opinion, how is the 3d environment better or worse for making an engaging game? The obvious answer is that 3D gives you yet another dimension to explore in games but more is not always better. As you finish creating your maze does the 3D environment spur more original game ideas for you, or would you rather go back to 2D to create your game?
