Write about your vision for this game. What excites you about it?
I'm most excited to see how my game turns out at the end. I can see my game being how I want it to be if I really try. So I'll try my best to make it that way.

Choose Learning Topic
I think recycling is a good topic for my side-scrolling game because it'll be a situation that most will be able to understand. This happens everywhere, so I just want people to have a better perspective to learn about it and have fun at the same time. I believe this will be good for a 2 level game, which makes it easier for players to see the consequences of littering on level 1. And preventing it from happening on level 2.

Learn To Design For Mobile
How did this topic influence your ideas for your own Side Scrolling Action game? Name one thing you will or will not do.
This topic influenced me by explaining how game developers can make the mistake of designing the controls to their games a way that makes it hard for the user to actually play the game. Which obviously tells not make a game that way, so side scrolling game is best to keep the platform moving having a single control button just to pass the game. One thing I won't do is make the game too long because I don't I'll have much time to work before we get to our next topic. What I will do is make the game as plain and simple to get it up and running.

Course Overview
I'm most excited to work on a platform game that might have something to do with parkour or something like that. I'm not sure yet but whatever our main topic has to do with, I'll make a game that's related in a way that performs in the fashion I want it to. Above all, I think it will a good game.

How did the two games handle the issue of homelessness?
As you work through the game, you realize that there is no way to learn the answers to these questions, it is based on what you know already. There's no way to know that these are actual facts and not just assumptions.
Do you think one was better than the other?
In my opinion, the first game would be better because it basically just explains facts right then and there.
What would you do to improve either game?
I think both are good, they just need a bit of tuning to the art work.
What kind of a game would you make about this issue?
If anything I'd make something somewhat familiar to the first game but just enhance it more.

Ebola Virus Review
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is one of the most fatal viral diseases worldwide affecting humans and nonhuman primates.
Although infections only occurred frequently in Central Africa, the virus has the potential to spread globally and is classified as a category A pathogen that could be misused as a bioterrorism agent. As of today there is no vaccine or treatment licensed to counteract Ebola virus infections.
DNA, subunit and several viral vector approaches, replicating and non-replicating, have been tested as potential vaccine platforms and their protective efficacy has been evaluated in nonhuman primate models for Ebola virus infections, which closely resemble disease progression in humans. Though these vaccine platforms seem to confer protection through different mechanisms, several of them are efficacious against lethal disease in nonhuman primates attesting that vaccination against Ebola virus infections is feasible.
What's fueling the current outbreak? A few things. The virus has struck densely populated cities, such as Conakry, Guinea; Monrovia, Liberia; and Lagos, Nigeria. Cases have cropped up in more than 60 hot spots across a large swath of land.
How does it spread? Through close contact with infected blood, saliva, urine, stool and vomit.
Symptoms: It can take anywhere from two to 21 days after infection for symptoms to kick in, but once they do, the pain is excruciating. It starts off with a fever, muscle pains, vomiting and diarrhea. It also makes the victims so weak that it leaves them bedridden. As the virus spreads, it can shut down major organs, such as the kidneys and liver. And the infection can cause internal and external bleeding from openings in the body, including eyes, ears, nose, rectum and even pores. The peak of the illness is the first seven to 10 days, during which patients are most likely to die.
What happens to Ebola survivors? Suffering through Ebola is a traumatic experience in itself. Returning home from an isolation ward can also be a challenge. Ebola survivors are likely to be shunned and isolated by their communities. Many people still think survivors are contagious. This is where education and grand gestures from health care workers, a big kiss on the patient's cheek can help to mitigate the stigma.

Safe Driving Game
My game will have to do with safe driving, with its primary cause and effects. It will start out with a person talking on his cell phone while recklessly driving without precaution to what he is doing. Not worrying about what's in front of the wind shield. Another driver is seemingly distracted by a pretty lady walking on the sidewalk. So then both vehicles collide in a fatal accident.
