I also choose 21 question over the horse game because I only had a certain time limit. I would like my product to look really nice. my game must have animations that a fast and snappy, not slow like a old grandma. My game must also include everything that I made a notice of in my product specifications. I will try my very best to make my final product look colorful and attractive by also looking at my peers ideas. PLAN

I started of with an idea that as a horse game. I changed my game because it was not sutable to make my game in microsoft power point. I also changed the fact that my game would not be suitable for both girls and boys. I originally only wanted to do 4 question but when I had realized it was really fun and easy to make a game using microsoft power point i doubled the amount of slides. I also knew that if I did more slides I needed more characters to choose from so then I made the characters list to choose from a bigger range of choices.

Changes made to the original Plan I didnt follow my original plan manley because my plan was to detailed. In my plan I wanted to make my slides move by themselves but then i had realized that so people answer questions much faster and some people much slower. I knew if i did do time i would have to make two game still the same but the time must be differently. If i put time i had to think about the fact that little children aswell as bigger children would like to play my game. As i said it would be very difficult to do that because of the age differences. EVALUATE Results of tests I tested my game to see how fun it was by asking a younger child to play my game. She wanted to play it over and over again because she loved that one of her favorite characters was in my power point "Mickey Mouse". I also tested to see if it was fun for both genders by asking my brother to play my game as well as my dad and they said they didn't know i knew how to make a game that good. My mum also was very impressed because she said my power point game was amazing. My game was played by lots of different people between the ages of 7-20+. I actually was impressed when the people who played my game that where 20+ said it was good because i made my game for the ages 6-14, i was very glade that older people liked my game as well. My game was very colorful because my friends and a lot of others told me they liked my background and pictures. As i said my game was very easy to u for the 7 year old who played my game after she had understood how to play it which didn't take very long. i am very happy with my final product because i managed to get to my expectations.

Recommendations for improvement

If I where to make my game again I would have added more questions. I would have added more questions if we had a longer amount of time because I didn't only have ICT homework but also other homework. Next time I would talk less and get my plan done fast so that I can start my Final power point game faster and have more time to do it. Next time I would make my game more specific according to my design specifications. This time I didn't really follow my design specifications because I didn't have a lot of time so rushed it a little bit. Over all i think my game was as best as I could make it. I tried my hardest and I think if I where to rate myself I would give myself a 6.5 (10 being the best.)

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I would have spend more time thinking about my design and making it suitable for all ages. I would have done the design cycle in this order: investigation, plan ideas that you could do, design what it might look like, create your final product and then evaluate. The reason why I would change design and plan around is because to me that's easier to make a final product. For me its also easier to do plan before design also so that I can make more than 1 idea and see how I would make my game in Microsoft power point.
