I have been very inspired by such games as "The Beginner's Guide" and "The Stanley Parable" by
Davey Wreden and have been trying to get my hands on a machine with enough power to run
Unity so I can start making games myself. So today I made a rubbish video to encourage all my friends to give me money (what have I been reduced to?) in order to get a
workstation to build educational games I can distribute for free.This means getting a machine with at least
Unity system requirements.
I have found that most other teachers find my teaching ideas and songs inspiring and use them in their own teaching... maybe I could make some cool games that can help students learn about science and technology.
One idea I have is a 3D environment where the player creates bits and puts them together into bytes and builds a computer from the inside out to learn how circuits create digital memory. Imagine a TRON style world where circuits turn on and off to create 1s and 0s and you have to put them into bytes to create the memory of a message in binary.... hmmm.....
Another
idea I have is a world where you monitor fossil fuel consumption and see the effects on climate change and number of species. Then you can play with the time and re-run it with re-newable energy sources.
