Becky Boorman, Carine Docanto, Laura Nelson	Rubber Ducky Game Concept: Animation      Duck movement The Rubber Ducky Game will be a fun and family friendly game for children ages 7-11. The concept of the game is to navigate the rubber ducky down the river while avoiding the lily pads and hitting the bread crumbs. It is possible to win the game by successfully navigating the river and to build up points by eating the bread crumbs. The product at this juncture still needs significant improvements. It has the following limitations: The two applets are not yet combined The duck cannot be controlled while the continuous animation is running The duck cannot detect if it intersects with a lily pad or a bread crumb The game cannot be won nor points scored Final: Animation Our project is ready for launch, but there are a few things we wish we could have gotten done. Most of the limitations could be fixed if we had more time. We had major improvements in our product since the concept review.
Kristen Gemmill, Jennifer Rief	Concept : Billy's Box Objective: To learn the concepts of Java animation while creating an educational game to help children choose healthy food over junk food. Current status: The product is not yet ready for launch. It has already achieved critical tasks such as the falling objects and the moving lunch bag, but more must be added before an outside user can play the game. We recommend further development of the features of the product to include a timer and food counter. Final : Billy's Box Purpose: The purpose of this product is to teach children to choose healthy foods over junk foods. Healthy foods and junck foods will appear at the taop of the screen and "fall" to the bottom while a lunch box moves underneath them.
Kara Cronin, Sonja Sutter	Concept: Whack-A-Mole The objective of this game is to click on the moles as they pop up to whack them for stress relief and fun. The current phase's limitations are that the mallet does not follow the mouse or relate to whacking the moles. It is possible to get multiple points for each mole when it pops up, and the screen flickers while the applet is running. The instructions are currently written for the final product. Final: Whack-A-Mole The purpose of this Whack a Mole Game is to whack the heads of the famous people as the heads escape from their hole. In using the mallet to complete this task, this game becomes a means of entertainment for adults, both young and old.
