Game making

Wow the good old pick a paths books are back - we are know trying to make our own games and here is the context...The world has gone dark and all civilization as we know it has gone...you wonder through the forrest and find a glowing sword that pulls you near it ...you see a dark figure emerge from behind the sword. At first you are afraid and try to pull away however the sword is drawing you in and th dark shadow reveals itself and whispers three words...you are the one...

So now im going to make a game with this context. Will post soon guys.

Students can take on different roles and work together on the process and achieve a common end product that is for a global audience.

What is it that the audience wants? Students are eventually their own audience!

Software creation is problem solving in practice. Strategy is important.
