What is this game?This is Flappy Bird, a very famous game that came out for mobile on May 24, 2013. It's goal was for you to navigate your bird between pairs of green pipes. You had to go between as many pairs as possible, scoring a point per pair. The game is over when you hit a pipe or the ground. It had to be taken off the App Store and Google Play Store because it caused people to rage so much they broke their phones, tablets, and other things. What is different about my game?My game has a twist. In my game, you have to also navigate around spinning swords that are placed in between two pairs of columns. If you come in contact with those swords, you die, along with the same rule with the pipes. Why is this important?Not only does this put us in the shoes of game designers, but this also lets us learn how to code with physics, prefabs, components, etc. Also, we did Flappy Bird because it is a game we are all familiar with, so we know when there is something off with it. By adding our own twists, we learn how to code not using a tutorial. When making games in real life, we won't have tutorials to follow, so this is how we learn. In Summary

What is this game?I am building a 2D UFO Game. It consists of a UFO object that will collect little gold nuggets and the game is won when all gold nuggets are collected. Why is this important?According to Engines for Education, one of the best ways to learn to do something is by doing it. This is what we are doing here. To learn how to make a game, we are going to make a game. By doing this, we can learn what we do commonly that we shouldn’t do, and what we do perfectly. What will this do?This will put us into the shoes of game designers. We can see, as an individual, what the environment of a game designer is, and how tough it is to work in it. In Summary:
