The Problem is that we have the make a game in PowerPoint and that we don't know how to.
Expalin the Problem

Over time PowerPoint has been used for many things but it is not often it is used for making a game. Our task is to make a well functioning game that you can play. We also have to make it for a special audience of our own choice and we have to make sure its suitable and manageable for ourselves. ======

In this game there are a lot of hyperlinks and cool effects/animations which was one of the thing i included in the design brief. It will be very colorful too and it has a lot of sound effects in the different slides. It is also pretty manageable. Sadly it might be for a bit smaller kids than what i was aiming for which means that I will probably choose the other on. it is not that challenging either so it doesn't meet my product specification on that part either. My who wants to be a billionaire meets all of my criteria and I like it better personally so i think I'm gonna choose that one. This game is mostly in the colour of blue so it is colorful enough. It is pretty challenging since you have to have a lot of general knowledge to complete the game. All the lines that are on the picture represent the hyperlinks in the game and all the boxes represent were you should press to go where. Justification for chosen design I chose "Who wants to be a Billionaire" as my design. One of the reason for my choice was wanting to do this one in the start. another reason that I chose I is that it meets all the criteria and that is is challenging for the player. I also chose it because I like the idea of making a game show and because I feel that I can complete this one effectively without unnecessary difficulties. I personally find it interesting and you can see under pictures of my design that it has a lot of animations. Since it is a quiz show you would also want to win so that part of my product specification is also checked. I also said that there was going to be cool movement and animations which there will still be.

CREATE  Final Product   media type="file" key="Who wants to be a billionaire.swf" width="555" height="557" Changes made to the original Design In this game i made a lot of changes from the original design because some of the things just didn't work out. One of the things that i changed was that i added a slide with the bibliography in it. I also added a slide so you could end the game when you lost or when you won. A minor change that i made to the game was that i changed the order of some of the last slides. Another change that i made was that instead of having the same background for all the slides i changed it so that the background has something to do with the question. Changes made to the original Plan  I followed the plan most of the time and i felt that I could manage it. When I came to part 5 I had some problems with keeping up though and I got one day behind. I began to do the animations whiles doing the hyperlinks. I didn't exactly get i done to the deadline but luckily i had given myself one days extra time in the plan so i could still make it. the reason that i felt behind was that i was sick so i couldn't work. I began Part 7 on the 4/10/12 and I finished it on the 5/10/12. So i did made it. EVALUATE  Results of tests Recommendations for improvement =Product specification= > If I had to improve my game in any way i would probably changes some minor glitches that are in the game. i would also maybe try to add some music in the background just to make it all a bit more fun. i could also add some more special animation and i could of course make it a bit longer. I could also make a bit more complex by making the slides so that every time you start a new game it would start at a different question just like in a real quiz-show.

 * colorful, but professional; i think it was very colorful but i think that i could have made it a bit more professional looking by making the different slides in the same kind of color.
 * interesting; i think that it was very interesting and this was one of the things that i think i completed to the best.
 * challenging; i also think that i did this one very well although i could have done it better by researching the questions a bit more.
 * cool movement effects; I did make some movement effects but i still think i could have added a bit more effects.
 * hyperlinks and transitions; i think i did this part to the best and i have nothing to regret about this part.
 * manageable; i found this game manageable to the extend that i could make it.
 * sound effects; i didn't add any sound effects since i didn't find it necessary.
 * make you want to win or complete; this game has made many people want to win or complete.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle  I think that i followed the design cycle very well but if i should change something about the way that i followed it throughout this unit it would be reading and looking at the design cycle pages a bit more thoroughly for the first two stages. Even though i still got i five on design and investigate i think i could have gotten a six if i had just read that small page. If I should do it again i would also make sure that i understood completely what i had to do to get full marks before i stared it. In the end i think that i did pretty well with following the design cycle and i am quite happy with the work that I have done throughout the unit.
