Game and Robots

I have also been working on a game that my students would be able to play which is very basic in design again a great thing and a bad thing about just being able to use Alice. The game involves being able to distinguish whole numbers from integers. In the first of my attempts I used an airplane to fly around and then the student would have to make a choice between a positive number and a negative number. Choosing the positive number would allow the player to move on and choosing the negative would end the game. However, I put some buildings in the game to give it some life but most people I show the game to can only think about 9/11 and the world trade center towers. So, I have been working on using a shark in the desert to kind of move away from some reality. Neither game is finished since it takes quite a bit of time to do even some of what seems to be little things. Again one of the problems I have encountered is that if the students want they can mess up the programming because there is not way to lock that portion up if they start up the game so I would have to use this in the class and not necessarily in a computer lab.
Plane game 30 hours
Shark game 15 hours

I have also been waiting to do my robot section since I teach H.O.P.E. which is about getting students prepared for some type of medical career and I have planned to do this portion during the third quarter. This would be the best time for you to come and see this portion most likely will be toward the end of the third quarter.
