Week #11 - Final Draft of Monongah - A Word Game

This is level 1 of my game

Scratch | Project | Monongah Word Search_Final Revision

I have incorporated directions as was requested.  I have also made my miner.  Perhaps not the most creative guy, but I think he's cute.  He provides some guidance in how to begin the game, does he need to remain during the word search?  I want to make him appear when the first level is complete as well as at the beginning and end of level 2.

I have a random error.  Some of the letters do not reappear when you click the green flag.  There is some commonality in some of the letters, but their reappearance appears to be random.  Does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm looking forward to exploring your revisions as well.  This has been challenging, time consuming and FUN!

Thanks
Jane

    Thank-you for the directions! I like your character too! I think providing definitions for the words is a great way to increase the content learning in this game! Games like this are addicting for me too. I like the hunt and search thang :)

    I'll be interested in reading your reflection about how you think the basics of this game could evolve to really engage students in the place, space and identity of coal mining in Appalachia!

    I like that your game is fast and fun. I suggest that you may want to resize your miner character a bit. You can change his size within the scratch window of the game when you are developing it with a right click on the actual spite in the window.

    I like your game because it is a simple distraction to learning. I was having fun doing a word search and learning my vocabulary at the same time. I also like that your background is theme related.

    I really like the miner you created but I recommend you shrink him a little so he is not the focus of the page.

    wow the changes that you made to your project really helped it out. The students now know what to do in order to complete the game. I like the history lesson involved with this game and the images you used especially the smiley face that moves around.

    The only suggestion I have is for a way to keep score.
