Final Project- Game Tournament

THE GAME TOURNAMENT-
CREATING A GAME OUT OF DAILY OBJECTS

Introduction
This is the final project for Creative Thinking Skills. In this project, I need to research about games - what are games, its objectives, its advantages and so on. I also need to investigate and experiment with my object (straw) so that I know its further uses. Using the information I've gathered, I am to create a game out of my object. The game should involve the main function of my object so that it cannot be replaced with other objects.

Reflection
This project is very much like the first project, but this time it is to form a game out of our daily objects. I like these kinds of projects because they are so practical but what hinders me is I have to record everything that happens, even what I am thinking of. But as far as the project goes, I have learnt that making a games requires many steps as well as trials and errors. This is to ensure that the best game is chosen and have no weaknesses. From the first part of the project, I have learnt about the components required in a game such as competition, complexity, tension and so on. I also discovered the different types of games, some require skill, others require strategy and such. I also learnt that, recording the thought process is very important especially in the construction field. From the tournament event, we actually just had lots of fun and it didn't really feel like an assignment anymore. So from that, I've learnt to have fun while I am doing my work.

Part A (Individual)
I am required to make an A4 booklet that contains all the research, experiments and rules of the proposed game including the logo and packaging. I also need to make a demonstration video that shows how the game goes.

Part B (Group)
In units, we are to select one game and further understand, elaborate and refine it. We then need to organise and plan a game tournament event that includes props, the game layout, schedule and prizes for the winners. We also need to come up with a promo video, instruction posters. Through this, we need to document the process involved and take videos or photos of the event.

SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP IN NATURE
This exercise requires me to do some research about symbiosis. But since I already covered this topic during high school, it will be must easier to find information since i still can recall some of the points, such as commensalism, parasitism and mutualism.


REFLECTION
Through this exercise I've learnt to do independent research, note sketching and also improve my drawing skills. From this exercise, I've learnt to do my research online which I never really did before. I also learnt to pinpoint the important key words and facts and record it properly. This exercise is about symbiotic relationships - mutualism, commensalism and parasitism. That means I definitely learnt about how living things relate to one another and supports each other.

SUPER HERO
By using my object, a straw, I am suppose to imagine a super hero. Complete with its super powers, super hero name, logo, costume and a villain.

REFLECTION
Everyone knows that when we were 5 years-old we were more imaginative and creative in a way. In this exercise, we have to be imaginative and creative. First, I have to think about my object and what elements relate to it. Then with the information, I created a superhero out of my objects. Then I thought about what powers he should have, his superhero name, his costume and finally his arch enemy. Through this exercise, I get to put into action, my experience of watching movies and put it on paper and through that I have gained a bit more creativity and imagination and I also get to do what I like - drawing.
