Game Idea
We are going to do our game on the conflict between America and terroists. Wea re thinking about designing a game like a defense game with American troops defending a house. You will shoot the terrorists as they run toward the house. The player will find out facts about the war as they play through the game.

What a good social issue you and Cody have brainstormed. I think it will be a challenge to create, but it sounds like a great idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Caleb. I like the idea of teach people about the War on Terrorism through your game. It also might be interesting to research why people become terrorists. Some do it becasue they are crazy religious zealots, but others might turn to terror because their lives growing up were without hope. Maybe you could research the variety of different ways that our leaders fight terrorism, including the idea that we can reduce terrorism by helping foreign governments eradicate poverty in their countries, and helping them establish strong economies, good educational systems, and free democratic societies. So maybe your game could not only have a level where US soldiers are fighting armed terrorists, but also a level where the US Diplomats in the State Department help establish some of these above-mentioned things in foreign countries where terrorists are coming from, and how these diplomatic/humanitarian actions reduce the number of terrorists or turn would-be terrorists in to law-abiding and productive citizens of their countries. Just a thought : )
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you come up with!
