This take-home exam is open book, open note, and open computer.  It is not open people.  It is to be submitted electronically and is due in my reader by EOD Thursday, April 30.  By submitting the paper, you are signing the honor pledge that you have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on the exam.

Your submission can be no more than 10 pages double-spaced.  It may be shorter.  While there are a number of items that are to be covered, they are not to be answered as individual questions, but rather should be considered as a checklist of what needs to be covered.  Basically, you are to write a edsign document for the game you design.   In this design document, however, you are required to justify your decisions.  You are to design the game independent of development issues except for the credibility that the game could actually be built.

You may choice your target age group:  children, college students, or general public.  You may choose your genre and the intention of the game.

You need to include the following in your design:  They can be in any order and combined in whatever manner works for you.  You should, however, be sure that each of them is covered.
