Video Game Camp

Before the summer my mom was planning on sending me to a video game designing camp. Day 1:When the day came I went to the Telus World of Science went to the space exhibit and found the room. After I got settled in the instructors showed us a movie how playing games could improve our video game designing. Then we got to design play example games, you know to get us going with the flow. After that we had lunch. Then we got to play capture the flag. I called my self jailbreak because I freed many of my team from jail. After capture the flag we went back. Once there we made character our level and main character. We always ended at 4:00 PM. Day 2:We worked on our enemies and levels. They taught us how to make stuff invisible, and how to die After lunch and more Capture the Flag We visited the Crime Gallery. There we learned about how crimes were solved, the parts of a police car, how to know a criminal when you see one, how maggots solve crimes, and what Johnny Law used (hopefully not on me since I'm a jaywalker!) Day 3: we made traps that would kill the main character lives, health and points. The exhibit we went to was the new Robots gallery. Not only did they show stuff from the movie robots, but also how robots are used today the timeline of robots and a life size model of C-3PO and the robot Gort from The Day the Earth Stood Still. What we also did was see IMAX Hubble, you know that giant orbiting telescope, that takes pictures of space, they show how they repaired and made the telescope and the spectacular pictures of space. Day 4: When I got there we created tiles to make the game more fancier, you know, stone, dirt, spikes and vines. What we did after lunch and Capture the Flag we saw a segment called Fire and Fury. The scientist showed how when you burn toilet paper it leaves no ashes. She also showed how a fine powder can be very flammable. She used chemicals used in fireworks to make amazing display of colours, and spoiled the magic! Next we went to the environment gallery when I learned about alternative energy, toxic gases and where the come from, soil, wetlands erosion etc. And created lightning and a tornado. Day 5: It was the best day I ever had! I rode on the Segway (the vehicle used in Mall Cop,) Tried out the multi-access trainer (I didn't get sick but all the blood was rushing to my head,) Watched a film about how the Soviets not the Americans won the race to space at the Star Theater. We made the finishing touchers to our game and even loaded the example games on a USB. At the space exhibit I made a alien out of myself, attempted to land Apollo and failed. landed on Mars, controlled a rover, and destroyed earth. My Dad when I got home did not want my game because he said it was bug infested.
