cup ball

 

Step 1- Empathize: What is the problem we are trying to solve? Who are we trying to help and why?

The problem would be the cups/cones over the points and you are trying to get the points under each individual cup/cone. You are trying to win the game by getting the most points and beating your competitors.

 

Step 2-Define: What are the specific limitations and barriers that exist to solving this problem?

The limitations are that you are standing at a specific pint and can’t go past it. Also that there are cones over your points so you don’t know how many points is under your cup/cone that you aim for.

 

Step 3 –   Ideate: Apply knowledge to a solution. Time to brainstorm. Use the model below.

What to use I am going to use plastic cups and a roller hockey ball because that is what I have around my house because for this game you need cups and a ball and a friend to play with you. There only one way to play this game. You will need yourself and another person because yyou have to be against someone and if you don’t want to play with the people in your house hold you can face time a friend and they also set up the game in there house and then you guys van play. You will need a big enough space for you to stand about a meter or so away from the cups you are trying ti hit for example I used my living room and it worked perfectly a hallway would also work very well. The game is a target game because you are aiming at the cups which is your target.

 

Step four create a Prototype: Complete this outline fully Riverside Game Design

Name of the Game

Objective –What is the Purpose |Goal of the Game

The purpose of the game is getting as many points as you can from hitting the cups

Description –Describe Your Game and What it Should Look Like

You should be standing at a certain spot then have about six cups is v shape about a meter away from you or farther and the cups should have about five centimeters of space between them so its harder and if you want more of a challenge make it farther.

Rules of the Game–Describe the Rules

The rules are very simple you can’t pass your line/ the spot you chose to stand your certain spot and that you must be honest with how many points you got.

Strategies | Tactics

A strategy I would use would be instead of rolling the ball very aggressively I would be gentle so that is goes where I want it to.

Progressions–Can it Evolve

It can evolve/ make it more difficult by standing farther away from the cups. Putting more space between the cups themselves or make the point less so it is harder to win and takes longer.

Equipment–List What is Needed

You need a ball I would say at least the size of a tennis ball and if you don’t have that smaller is okay, but bugger would make it to easy. You will also need at least six cups because that makes it even and the last thing you need is someone that will play against you either over facetime or in person.

Safety Considerations–Safety First

The only safety consideration I have is don’t throw the ball at each other or to hard that it could break something.

 

Part 3: reflection

What I did in this project/ my role was mainly to come up with ideas and come up with the rules and make the game basically and help anyone who needs help with there tasks. The things that went well in this project was the game itself I thought it was fun and exciting to play with someone especially if you are competitive like me and my family. Something I wish we did better in would have to be communication because it was very difficult. What I have learned through this progress is that communication really helps to get things done an make everything much easier.

community connections

I interviewed one of my dance teachers her name is Jessica Macmillan her role is to teach us to dance, she is responsible for teaching us choreography and making sure we understand are dance and what is going on. I chose to interview her because I love her way of teaching and I would love to consider her job when I am older. I love and respect all her hard work. The things I have learned from this assignment how much work and dedication that is put into her job and the art she creates for us to perform which makes me want to pursue my passion much more which is teaching dance to kids and having that a part of my life.
