Idea : Fractions and Food!

Imagine a game that teaches your kids math and a variety of different kinds of food at the same time?! This game “SliceCraver 101” is just the game for that! This game displays many levels to the user with each level being a food that can be sliced up into pieces. To discover more foods you have to complete every level, and with every level you learn how to identify, simplify, and modify fractions! This is an assignment given to me in Multimedia Class and has to be done on a game maker software “Construct 2”. This game will be made with no programming, only done with the GUI and tools given to me. The aim for this game is to help children learn a mathematical section, that is hard to understand at first, named fractions. While at the same time the kids learn all types of foods from every culture that can be sliced into pieces for people to enjoy. This game will hopefully make children more interested in mathematics and also be able to identify foods that they will come across they’re daily lives.

This game will teach not only the kids but also teach me the ways of making a good UI, finding an audience, and also understanding a new type of software. What I learned in multimedia class is that I have to use colors that are easy on the eyes, images that are compressed by their pixel dimensions, bit-depth, or file format for efficient run time on my game. (The less the file size the better for the images!). Additionally I will have to use game sounds and myabe background music! Wish me luck guys, my progress will come soon in the following blog posts.
