a. What do students do with Gamestar Mechanic?
           With Gamestar Mechanic students can use the website to learn how systems work and can use the system to design and play their own games. The students don't actually program any of the games but this system allows them to use their imaginations and create fun and challenging games.These students can then share their games with other users. They can also play various users games and leave feedback on them.
b. Who uses Gamestar Mechanic?
           Teachers, parents, or legal guardians can use Gamestar Mechanic to educate their students or children on how to design games. Students can use the game (with teacher or parental permission) to play, design, or share their own games!
c. Where is it used?
            Gamestar Mechanic can be used at schools, homes, at library's or anywhere with the proper requirements to run the game!
d. What are the requirements?
  • A high speed Internet connection (e.g. DSL, Cable Modem)
  • A computer running a modern web browser (for example recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari or Chrome for Windows, Mac or Linux)
  • Adobe Flash Player version 10 or later

e. What did you enjoy most during this activity?
            I enjoyed the challenge of creating my own game. I am a huge video game nerd and I have never actually designed my own game. Even if it was only one brief level, it was an awesome experience.
f. What did you find difficult during this activity?
             Because I have already played so many platformer type games in my lifetime the tutorials and intro levels to the game were not very challenging. But I did try out some user made games and I have to admit there were a few that were very difficult. So i'm glad I was presented with a challenge!

  2. What a very creative game! I am glad you enjoyed making it. I also had fun creating a game, however I am awful at playing video games. I find that I am not coordinated enough to move my avitar the direction I want it to go. I had a ton of trouble making it through the quest. I had to get my husband and daughter to beat a level that I got stuck on for hours lol!
