We will use sound to add a layer of depth and creativity to our game. Sounds will cue when they player accomplishes a goal, or conversely does not achieve a goal. A voice-over may possibly provide instructions as well. Overall, the sound will add a richness to the game and eliminate any dull, empty space.

1.) Can your game be both a Civics and Stem game?

Depending on the lens that you play it through, yes, our game could be considered both a Civics and Stem game. Obviously, our game deals largely with science, but the player will be filling the role of returning stolen property to its rightful owner, which is a very important civic responsibility.

2.) Please list 5 game ideas that could be both Civic and Stem games.

1.) A game in which the player has to use technology to make his/her way to a voting booth.
2.) A game in which the player uses computers to track inflation rates and find a solution to eliminate them.
3.) A game in which the player keeps track of the rise and fall of costs in a supermarket/store.
4.) A game in which the player uses technology to spread political campaign messages.
5.) A game in which the player must use various technological devices to convince people to register to vote.

All things considered, after roughly four months of taking this class, I have to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed it. While it is certainly not an easy class, and is in fact quite challenging, I still find great joy in it and even find myself having fun most of the time. Working in Flash, obviously, has been the highlight of this class. Again, while it has been challenging at times, the reward of seeing a working animation or a well-drawn scene has always been fulfilling; it's been well worth the challenge, and I'm eagerly anticipating  what I'll learn throughout the rest of the course.
