This week in class we have been creating games using Sploder. The type of game I created was Retro Arcade. I had 2 levels. There was 4 stages in the first level and 3 in the second. The easiest aspects when creating my game would be just simply placing things where you want them to go. Some difficulties I ran into was I had a glitch in my first stage and it would not let me move on to the next stage. I ended up having to delete that stage. Some confusion I had was deleting a level or stage and deleting something you placed by a mistake. I didn't really have time to help any other students with their games mainly because I was confused about my own and needed to get it done in time. I really liked using Sploder it was pretty much my favorite thing we did so far in bbt. The part I liked the best was the different things you could use to make your game such as the mushrooms, waterfalls, waterspouts, blocks, etc. There wasn't really anything I did not like about this activity. I'm not necessarily a gamer so I would probably consider myself a casual gamer. I don't play many games but I like to play minecraft on my phone when I am bored. I mainly play games on my cellphone when I do play them. I enjoyed using Sploder and I think I did quite good on my game.

The video on technology that I chose to use in my google slides presentation was about the new invention that comes out in 2017 the Hoverbike. I selected this video because i thought it was interesting the way it works. I always wanted to be able to fly instead of walking. With this invention you can fly. I would totally buy this invention when it came out if it wasn't so expensive. It is $85,000, that is a lot of money. I didn't mind using google slides. It is just kind of hard to get use to. I would rather use smart notebook or something but that is just because I am use to it. But i didn't have any difficulties using it.  I thought it was easy and cool to be able to share the presentation online. I liked this because it was an easier way to share your work with other people.  The template I chose was called "spotlight." I chose this because i liked the design and the way it was displayed. I liked using google slides but i probably wouldn't use it again.
