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.
