[Yr7-10it] Gamemaker question

[Kent Beveridge]

Getting the kids to make a 'snooker' game. 
How can we get the balls on the table to appear to 'slow down to a stop' as would occur on a real table?(assuming they dont go into a pocket).
This event is to occur allowing for the collision of balls on the table with each other and the cushions.

I have to agree with you Bill. This year I am going to guide students towards projects with a broader perspective, ala "create something that will make the world a better place to live in".

Last week I have some year 10 IT girls that are exploring the construction of a creative dance type solution using Scratch. (Starting from the handy worksheet that  you so kindly shared on this list! Thankyou :-)  Whilst some didn't like their work, perhaps because it lacked the gaming elements that others were building. A couple of us spotted the more creative, art installation that these girls were trying to program.

Regards Roland

	I think it's better that we ask our students to create projects rather than games
	
	This represents a trade off between motivation (games are more motivating for some) and a curriculum based more on educational principles
