How Can I Make A Game In PowerPoint?

By :Lauren Schooley INVESTIGATION   Identify the Problem

I don't know how to make a game in PowerPoint. Explain the Problem

I need to make a game in PowerPoint for this unit.
Research and Analysis This is a game that was created in PowerPoint by an organization. You have to try and click on a ball and get it past the keeper. This game was created in power point, then posted on a blog. It was made to keep score.

I can use hyperlinks, different slides, questions, answers, images, and shapes to make my game. I will need a bibliography at the end of the game, but it should be accesible from the first slide.
There are many different games that I could ma Design Brief I am going to design and make a PowerPoint presentation that is a game. This must be suitable for people ages 11 to 12. Product Specification My product must: Test Plan In order to make sure my product is all of these I will need:
 * Be easy to navigate
 * Colorful
 * Challenging
 * Interesting
 * Fun
 * Neat
 * Original
 * Easy to navigate: Ask an 11 year old to navigate to different slides.
 * Colorful: Ask an 11 year old if they think it is either too colorful, or not colorful enough.
 * Challenging: Let an eleven year old play some of the game, and ask them if they thought it was a challenge.
 * Interesting: Ask an 11 year old to play it and tell me if they thought it was interesting.
 * Fun: Ask an 11 year old to play the game and say what they thought about it.
 * Neat: Ask an 11 year old to look at it and say if they thought it it is neat.
 * Original: Ask myself if I got this idea from me and not someone else.

Analysis of my designs I think that my designs match my design brief because they seem challenging for ages 11 to 12. Justification for chosen design I choose the first design.

I chose this design because I think it is more challenging both to play and to make. PLAN I will need a computer, hyperlinks (lots of these), pictures, Powerpoint, Google, slides, animations, and examples to make my product.My project will need to be finished by October 5, 2012.

CREATE Final Product media type="file" key="Survival of the Smartest.swf" align="center" width="522" height="377"

Changes made to the original Design I did not add any animations to my final product because I thought that it might confuse the player about how to change slides. Changes made to the original Plan I did not follow my planned scedual because when I did my plan I had no idea how much time it would take to make. I ended up taking around half as long as my planned scedual. EVALUATE Results of tests According to an 11 year old: My game was easy to navigate. It was colorful. It was challenging. It was interesting. It was fun. It was neat. According to me:My game was inspired by another game but it was not a copy.

Recommendations for improvement

I could make it much harder in the future.

Self-evaluation of your execution of the design cycle I would have taken more time.
