Personal Reflection:
It’s a fun educational game I found. It’s free, and easy to access. Why I like this is that it inspired me about how to make a nice website game! I’m learning p5.js this semester, and planning to make a website game using Javascript, which is a programming language, to make a 2D website game. I found out the game has not only good art, but great at meaningful goal! I was surprised to see how the game designer connects game with educational purpose. It looks not so hard at coding, but chanllengable enough for me. Also, it matches good with my original plan to make good arts in my game. That’s the reason why I like this game! Some good designs and instructions below:
