Describe your Game

In my game I've planned to have my scene like to be in a lot of ice so the bigger the penguins are the more ice there is going to be . Well what I'm trying to say is that there are going to be different areas . First the player will have to choose what level they want Easy , Medium & Hard . If they choose the Easy one they will have to work with the Little Penguins . If they choose Medium with the Medium ones and if they choose the hard one they will have the big penguins . The bigger the penguins are the more complicated it will be . There will be some food hidden and the penguins will take some not all only the ones that they like and the one that are for them . For example there is going to be different food for little penguins and medium and big you will have to guess which one is for the level that you choose . I want my game to have a lot of creative things like a lot of hidden objects and make my game challenging also i want to put a timer .

Fact 1: Penguins have Black and white bellies this pattern of coloration is called counter shading and serves to camouflage the bird when it is in the water

Fact 4: Penguins have almond-shaped glands beneath the skin above their eyes that help them filter out the excess salt from the ocean.


Fact 5: Counter  shading also helps the penguins hunt with more success.


Describe what kind of objects you could hide for this game:

In this game I will hide The penguins Food , Ice , Colder Areas , Eggs .



Describe what you game scene might look like:

My game scene will probably be separated in 2 sections one for smaller penguins that the temperature is not to cold and one for larger penguins where they have the temperature that the need for the skin . Also they will have to go from one side of ice to another so they can find the hidden objects .

Texas endangered species

Endangered Species are at risk of extinction because of human activity, changes in climate. Changes in predator-prey ratios, etc., especially when officially designated as such by a governmental agency such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Endangered species  
means that animals or plants are endangered of something  where they can die. It might mean climate change , predators , or something that might make them die .
There are 174 Endangered species in Texas. 145 of them are  animals and 29 are plants . They are becoming in risk because of the extinction of human activity , climate ..etc .
All those species are endangered because they each have a climate where they can survive . There is a huge number of animals endangered but not that much plants . Well how can i say this there are a lot of plants but much more animals and we need to do something as a class to save them it's our environment / community we need to work hard to make it better .
I think that we could save them by telling everyone about how they are endangered . I think if we all come together we can make a difference . Everyone wants to make their community better so i think if we all make a huge project like transporting animals where they belong where they can be safe and do the same thing with plants that's how we can all have a better community , life , environment and make our Endangered species Better and safe .
