Scartch Level 2 - Racing Game

1.I had many difficulties such  as how to setting 2 players, how to activate the game... because scratch is new to me. For instance, it`s really complicated to set 2 players moving separately because if we press up button , both of them will move. So i have to set everything different for each one so that this one will not be affected while we control the other.
2.I added the countdown before starting and two players because it will make this game be my own game and it will be more interesting, more attractive to players

Scratch-Intro

Kodu Pac-Man

1. My game is the same as the original one. It just has little bit differences that it doesn't have the prizes for Kodu to boost its speed . But in general, the way to play the game is the same as the original ones.

2. I just add some changes about the map because i need to make an impression on players

3.I have some difficulties about the map at first, i created a small map so that Kodu couldn't move easily. Also, i didn't put the bots on path so my game looked quite complicated and messy. But finally , i found out the way to fix these problems.

4. The testers of my game told me to fix the map, make it bigger and i have to start from the beginning, which took me a long time but it's worth. 

5. I would add some details such as the prize for Kodu to boost it's speed, adding some bots...The next step is making it as good as the original one or even better. 

Video Games Movie Quesion

1. - It helps people to relax, forget about reality and they can build or explore their own world in games.
    - There are several reasons why games became popular but in general, there are two main reasons:
  . Easy to control
  . Possible to win 
2. . The first reason is the video game console. Because in that time there are dozens of console choices to pick from. Each console came with its own set of games from the company that manufactured it , as well as an expansive web of third-party games 
    . A second problem is that , after the success the video game industry experienced in the late  70' and early 80', many companies were rushing to produce video games as quickly as possible. This became a huge problem because at that time console makers had lost control of what games were being developed for their platforms 
3. I do think video games are a form of art because we can also create our own things as well as our own worlds just like writing lyrics, creating music...
4. The next evolution in video games is making video games into real life, which means that we can control the character in games by our movements. But the challenge is that we don't know whether people like to sit in one place or and use controllers or use their body to control
