The team I chose is the Muffin Tanks. There game is Survival of the smartest it is about the second amendment. In there paper prototype I can see that there is a little man that gets the box and makes the question come up. In there demo you have to click it I thank that is a good adjustment because it is easy to make a button but some times it is hard to collect stuff like that.



In there level I see that there is one enemy that you defeat but I like the new level were there are a bunch of enemy's coming and you have to shoot them. One of the big changes is the characters the use of stick figures is a classic look that I really like.

The team I pick is The Muffin Tanks from South Harrison HS the name of there game is Survival of the Smartest. There game is about the second amendment they are trying to teach anyone who wants to learn about the second amendment. I like the look and feel of there game the way it is played just blows my mind. I mean they have a question about the second amendment then is they get it right you get a power up that will help you in the level. From what I have seen on there team page they have two different level types one where the enemy's come from the left and you have to collect them to score points. The other is the one I like the best were the enemy's come from the sky and you have shoot them and dodge them.

When collaborating with my partner on the paper prototype I had fun. We shared ideals and thoughts to find the best topic on for our game. He wanted a Mario style game but I suggested that it be about Lewis and Clark. It was a little challenging to think of something like Mario but linked to civics. It just so happens that the day before I watched a movie with Lewis and Clark in it. We both had a big hand in the storyline but he did most of the artwork.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

How well do average Americans understand U.S ideals. I think that they really don't know much except why at they watch on TV or hear on the radio. They really would not know about U.S ideals because they are rapped up in there own little lives to care about such things. Most American people just think that they can't do anything to change the government such as vote for president. In fact I went around and asked people why they would not vote for the president they said they would but they think they will get called for jury duty. So I think that the average American would not know much but I also think we need to teach them so they to can have an effect on our great country.

This is a link to a site that tells about manifest destiny that is one of the great American ideals. Manifest destiny was a term used in the 1840's to justify the united states west ward expansion. They expanded into places such as Texas and California. (information from http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h337.html)

I think that they went well except the fact that our power point would not load. They gave us a great idea that instead of moving West to East to go from East to West.

Clark

Lewis

We have narrowed our topic to telling how the laws came to be in the wild west.

To learn more about Lewis and Clark follow this link to a website all about them.

ideals

Hello I am Clyde and I am one half of the Dancing Goombas Of Doom. Our game is about Lewis and Clark. Our game tells about the west ward expansion and how the laws and rights came to be in the wild west. Our game fits in the ideals framework because it tells how the laws traveled west to the settlers. I think that it is a great game topic and I think I will have fun making it. Hopefully you will have fun playing it. Here is the link to our team page.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!
