More addons! (with struggles) 3/6/16

      As you know so far, I am currently making a simulation/game in order for high school students to learn about antibiotic resist bacteria and the consequences of not taking an entire prescription. We are now trying to now get most of the players press the yes button to stop taking a prescription. The reason for that is because then they can learn from their mistakes. So as a result, if they press no the game will end with you win, BUT if they press the yes button, they continue on with the simulation. In order to ensure that most of the students press yes, so far we added a temperature gauge so it shows a normal temperature. I also changed the yes button to a fun picture of a bacteria while the no button is just boring words.
      When they press the bacteria, they end up going into a mini game for about two minutes. They will have to click the multiplying bacteria in order to "destroy" the invasion. I programmed it to be impossible for them to win, the bacteria will continue to multiple until a certain limit (I don't certainly want the game to crash) once it goes lower than a certain number, the bacteria will multiply again. The problem I am experiencing is that the bacteria multiply correctly until the last number I want it to. I want the bacteria to multiple until there are 64 of them and then stop. Once the number goes below 33, they will multiply again. The problem is, the program says there are 64 bacteria, but when I counted, there were only 33, this is a weird problem that I am trying to work further into.

  1. This is an interesting idea. Is that a creature you designed yourself? Remember that you should have two blog posts for March. You are one behind. Please do that one ASAP, the alternative is for you to report of class this week and finish it there.
