Make Your Own Game! - Nanogirl Task - Summer Learning Journey Rima Tekau Ma Wha

Today for the Summer Learning Journey we had a Nanogirl task. It was to make a game out of recycling.

The first traces of games created by humans were found in Europe and were found to be from the Bronze Age nearly 7000 years ago. Yet no one has found anything about the rules or the way the game is played.

It turned out that my Dad took away all the recycling in the weekend so we had no recycling. So I made a board game using paper and a few colours pencils. I also made an online 8-bit game on a site called Make code Arcade where I could code using blocks and draw my own characters and backgrounds.

The way you play my board game is you first pick a character. The characters are a mask, a bottle of hand sanitiser, a cotton swab, a QR code and a vaccine. Then the oldest playing gets to go first. If you land on a chance card, you pick a chance card and do what it says. The first one to get to the finish line wins!

I enjoyed coming up with ideas for what my games would be about. I had an idea about a Covid game; Where you had to not catch covid and get all the way to the end while landing on things that might, either, stop you from moving for a few turns, make you go up some spaces and down some spaces.

Thank you for reading my blog. Here is a slide with my Don't Catch Covid game:

Here is the code for my Make code arcade game:

5 Holiday Things To Do In Gisborne

Today I started my 5 holiday things to do in Gisborne. We were not allowed to use google slides so I had to think of something else. So I chose to make a game on makecode arcade. I chose to do the botanical gardens, Kaiti hill, the boardwalk, a beach and grays bush. This is the order i put them in and what to do: First go to botanical gardens. Jump on rocks and collect ducks for points. Then go ton kaiti hill. Walk up and drink the water at the top to stay hydrated. The to the boardwalk. Avoid the dogs that are walking along it. Then go to the beach. Pick up the rubbish to be a tidy kiwi and avoid the jellyfish stings. Then to grays bush to collect your kiwi guardians medal. There is some information about the places on my game.

I enjoyed drawing the character because I wanted to give her st mary's school uniform. I looked a bit weird but was fine.

I found it tricky to make the ducks disappear because I could not find the block anywhere. I asked my Mum to help and she found a video on how to do it.

My digital learning object shows that I can make a game on makecode arcade. It also shows I can share my game and put it on my blog.

Here's my game:
