EVALUATE


EVALUATE:

Since I wasn't at school for my evaluation I had to ask my brother to evaluate it. He was a perfect person to evaluate it since he is a gamer.

The questions were:

1) Discuss the good points in your game and why they are effective.
2) Which are some bad points and why are they not effective?
3) Discuss what you learnt through the game and how the new knowledge is applicable.
4) Was the layout understandable yet showed effort?
5) How can the negative points be improved.



1) The game is good, it's simple, and I could understand what you wanted to teach. It's also good for beginners who don't know anything about this sport. 


2)The game would be better if it had more levels and was a bit more colorful. Maybe you should have put some music in the background just so that the player can interact more with your game.


3)I have been horse riding for 7 years so I knew all of the things, but still, it was good. There was some basic but good information, it's good for a person that wants to just start this sport.


4)Game Salad seems kind of complicated so I understand why it isn't very detailed but it seemed like she put effort into making it. There is color so the objects appear more and contrast more from one another. 


5)I think you should have had more time so that you could have watched more videos and learnt more about the mind behind these programs. 


Personal Evaluation: Unfortunately I had to leave the country before the unit was over so I didn’t have a lot of time to put in this project. It was hard leaving my project unfinished, especially because I planned my plan when I didn’t know that I had to leave so soon. Another factor that affected my game was my attitude; during my plan I was quote negative because gaming isn’t usually what I do, and I wasn’t familiar enough with it to create a stable and advanced plan. As I lost some of my negative attitude I started working on the game at home because it started to interest me. My brother really motivated me to doing this game well, I talked to him a couple of times about it and he went home and showed me how to do certain things that I wasn’t able to. I think that if I had more time, I would have achieved more and made this game more educational for my audience since that was my main intent. Although, I did what was required, so I'm happy and proud with my product. Next time I would maybe use a less complicated program like Scratch or Kodu, I'm not familiar with them either, but I hope that they are a bit more simpler. I wish that I would have been able to improve my game after my brother gave me the feedback to my questions. From what my brother told me, he said that if he never knew what this sport was about, he would definitely be motivated to try it out. My parents' and brother's feedback was actually really useful, and I would definitely change some things if I could go back.
