How will I introduce Scalable Game Design in my school?
I will be using the program in my Game & Simulation Design class to introduce a new program to my students. This program will give the advanced students a chance to experience a new way to work with simulations at a different level. I have my students all year, so I am planning on doing a showcase next year.

Project Journal: 2013
Day 1, Monday: Today, I made my first attempt at the Frogger game. I worked with a frog, turtles, logs, water, trucks and tunnels. So far, so good. Looking forward to more attempts at newer simulations.

Day 2, Tuesday: Today, I enjoyed learning how to do a virus simulation. The speaker from Shodor,was an excellent speaker and I learned about the science side of programing. His direction gave me encouragement for being able to do this on my own.

Day 3, Wednesday: http://youtu.be/1L2eeEh5ZwY  Script, pull                 http://youtu.be/FO2Si7AUevY  Script, pull, seeking, diffusion, hill climbing, collaborative diffusion.

Day 4, Thursday: Today we worked on simulations and how to make them. We even got to try making one on our own. WOW, that was a complete bust. I kept trying to think more into it then I needed to. Help from another teacher was very much appreciated. I know now that I will need to keep working on making the simulations over the summer.

Day 5, Friday: I will be using the sample tutorials that they showed us on the wiki this morning. There is a lot of good information for beginners. It is great that people that have used the program before keep giving helpful hints and what worked for them. I will be reviewing all of the information over the summer and making myself a teacher manual so that I will be prepared for school in August.

Day 6, Saturday: Today we made a game in agentcubes. I loved it. I actually figured out something all by myself. It is going to be ok when I get back to Florida and start working on my own.
