Area of Interaction:  Environments Unit Question: How does the creation of virtual environments encourage critical thinking skills?

Daily Log: 04.25: Today we downloaded Game Maker and discovered that with the restrictions on these computers, we won't be able to run it. I'm downloading Construct to see if that will work. We decided to make a video game. 04.26: Today I downloaded Stencyl and tested it to make sure it would work. After getting through a lot of permission restrictions, we finally were able to run the game! So now we can start designing the game. 04.30: Today I put in the sprite and animation for the main character and experimented with the enemy and platforms. I also starting working on our runner man idea. 05.01: Today we figured out all the animations for Megaman, we fixed all the problems with sprites and behaviors, and I also figured out most of the mechanics of the runner man idea. 05.02: We tinkered with the platform engine, messed it up a lot, tried to fix it, and fixed the "die in pit and reload" behavior. We also decided the type of game we're creating. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.04: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We completely finished the platform engine, nearly finished our first enemy AI and animation and started on the next enemy. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.07: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We worked more on the AI and the levels, and finally had music and some more levels. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.08: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Sometime this week we finalized our actual character animation, which was a pixel version of Gordon Freeman. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.09: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Today we worked more on the enemies and the platforming, and also worked on the level design. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.10: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We worked on some of the levels and finished fixing our platform behaviors for Gordon. <span style="color: #800000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">05.11: <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We put in the last level, and put in a sound effect for Navi.
