Video games are successful is because many kids want to have fun and asks their parents to get them a game which gives the video game industry money to make more games. its not only kids now in this generation many adults play video games and spend a lot of money to just get games and in game items. to make a games so popular it must have a bit of a challenge and good graphics and also have simple rules. also some popular video games have a story line which goes with the game.

2. What are some of the reasons why the video game industry crashed in the 1980s?
some reason that the video game industry crashed in the 1980 is because they went bankrupt. Almost all of them went bankrupt because of critics calling video gaming a fad. Another reason that the video game industry crashed because there were to many consoles to pick with its own set of video games.

3. Do you think video games are a form of art? Why or why not?
i think video games are a form of art because people can make a story for the game like a movie, they can draw what ever the character they want to look like drawing and animation. another form of art is music/sound effects, if there were no music or sound effect in any video game the game would be boring the game would just plum-it because music and sound effects goes along with the mood and atmosphere of the game.

4. What is the next evolution in video games? What are the challenges that need to be solved in the next generation of games?
The next evolution in video games are Virtual Reality. The challenges that need to be solved in the next gen of games is more powerful console to make virtual reality run in higher quality. which Sony already made a VR head set for the PS4 but has a low fps which they need to improve.

Kodu-Pacman Replica

How close is your game to the original? What is different? What is the same?

My game is really close to the games except for 2 things. 1 is that the power up doesn't do the same thing as the original, my version is that when " Pacman"  gets the power up he grows and move faster.

What extra or creative details did you change or add to your version of the game? Why did you create these changes?

When Pacman  picks up a power up he increases size and move faster in a duration of time. i did this because i cant find a way to let Pacman kill the ghost with the power up. Also i made the ghost kill him and make the game over when he gets caught instead of giving him lives so it would be a lot harder for the player to finish this level.

What difficulties did you have? How did you fix this?

my difficulty i had was making the ghost not see me through the walls and gets stays in one spot trying to get me. I got help by our substitute by adding the "not" program to not see the Pacman through the walls.

What feedback did your beta testers have for you and how did you implement their suggestions?

i got no feedback for my game because i forgot about this part of the question

What would you improve with your game? What would be the next steps with your game?
i would improve the map to make it with no dead ends because  when i tested it the ghost are getting easily stuck. Also i  would make make the map a bit smaller because when i made the first map it is bigger than this and i cant put too much apples all around that map because the red bar was already red. Lastly i need to make the apples a bit bigger for the character to make it easier to pick up
