You need to look at the games that have been created and presented by other schools. If you log in to our site and then go to the Game Gallery, you will see all of our games and game demos in the gallery. And, below this is the state map with all of the schools listed that have globaloria. You just need to click on the link to the school and visit the school and check out their games.
Be critical and really look at the games that other students have created. Compare and contrast them to what has been created by students at our school. How are they different? How are they similar? What could you have done to make your game better? Did you get any ideas from the other schools? What games stand out from the rest and why? What are the best and the worst?
It's fun to see what has been created by others, and it might give you ideas for other games for next year. Go play!

Presentations Complete!
Wow! What a relief it is! The games are complete. The presentations are over. The team pages are complete, and the assignments are almost over. Can you believe that you made it?
The last couple of weeks have been frantic as we tried to finish up the games and prepare for the final presentations. Many of you worked up to the last few minutes before your final presentation. But, it all worked out. The games are finished, and they are complete.
All of them should have been longer. Some of them have beautiful graphics, and they show the great amount of time you've invested in making them. Some of them have intricate coding that show the great strides you have made in your level of achievement mastering Flash as you created your games. All of them are good, and I am proud of your accomplishments as you should be as well. This is our first year of Game Design at Tygarts Valley, and you have set a high bar for students to follow in coming years. Thank you for all of your hard work and your dedication to your class and to your team mates.
I'm sure at times you were discouraged and frustrated because I felt the same way. Yet you stuck with it and overcame the adversity, and you became a team player, a better problem-solver, and a game designer. Look at the skills you have attained in a year's time. I hope that you will consider the next level of Game Design next year and continue in your growth. I would consider it a privilege to work with you in Game Design II in the coming year.
