11. What are the requirements for this assignment?                                                                Simple for a sixth grader to understand and so it teaches them the design cycle.






12. What are the limitations you have with this assignment?                                                                  It can't be to difficult  for a sixth grader to understand.

Animated game

The number that I give simplicity would be a 2 because I want the animated game to be very simple for people can understand it and like it.The simplicity wasn't to simple either because I want for people to have fun with and so it wont be to simple because it will be to boring.

The number I gave my theme was a 4 because I thought it had a good theme theme so I gave it a 4. I also gave it a 4 because I thought somebody can also understand it well and get the theme and understand it very quick and understand it

THer number I gave my music was a 4. I gave it a 4 because I think that music is very intertaining for people so that why I give it a high number so that once people start to know that it has good music everybody will like it.

Treasure hunt

It is pretty simple because its just a treasure hunt and its pretty easy for a six grader to do and it is very simple so I think it is a good thing because sense they are little I made it very simple for them to use.

The theme number I gave was a 4 because I want people to to understand it well and so it will be fairly easy for them to get and so while they are having fun they can also learn something from that fun also.

I gave music in a rating of 4 from 5 because I think that everybody loves music so I gave it a pretty good rating because everybody likes music.

Day-2 Investigation Reflection

Today I choose to make a arcade game because I looked at it and I liked it  was cool. I thought it was better   than making a movie, even though it looked good it wasn't better than creating a arcade game.I also thought it was better because who would rather watch a movie when you can be playing a fun arcade game. That is what I learned from today.
