I'm really excited to see how the game turns out in the end. Some mini games and other map locations were added this past week and it's looking like an actusl video game now. Another thing I am really excited about is that my name is in the credits of the game! I think it's super cool that they thought to put that in there. But I can't wait to present and show what this game is all about! I don't think people quite understand it so i'll be able to really explain it.

Independent Component 2

LITERAL

• I, Hannah Seyffert, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
• Source that helped me the most:
• Dallek, Lance. "Designing Balance Exercise Programs for Older Adults." The American Council on Exercise. The American Council on Exercise. Web. 12 April 2015. <https://www.acefitness.org/certifiednewsarticle/687/designing-balance-exercise-programs-for-older%20/>
•  For my independent component, I decided to create my own mini game for the video game that is being made at my mentorship, Blue Marble Game Company. I did research and brainstormed on what I should make my game about. Once I decided on what I would do, I story-boarded my game and wrote an essay on why I chose the things I chose and how it helped me in my project.

INTERPRETIVE

• This game helped me really think about the best way to create a video game for fall prevention. It forced me to think deeply about the goal and how to accomplish it. It really made me dive into the whole process and get to know what I should be doing.
• I created a mini game for my independent component. I researched and brainstormed a lot on my ideas and what I envisioned. Once I decided on what I was going to do, I drew up/story-boarded the game itself, since I do not have the knowledge to make it on a actual computer. I also wrote an essay on why I did this, my thought process behind the actual game and how it helped me in my project.

APPLIED

• This process really helped me think about the answers to my EQ. Since my second answer is basically about the video game, it really helped reinforce why I chose that answer in the first place. By going in depth and thinking about the details of the game, it showed exactly why my second answer is what it should be.
