I like your Latitude - Team 5

Today we learnt about how to track your location without the use of google maps.
We also learnt what a latitude is and what a longitude is. Latitudes are imaginary lines that start from 0
to 90°. It goes from 90° N to 90° S. 0° being the Prime Meridian Equator. You can see your latitude by looking at the sun and at the stars. There are 360 latitude. Another set of imaginary lines is longitudes. Longitudes help you how far you are from the equator in terms of left and right. So the maximum can be 180.

With the help of both latitudes and longitudes we can decipher coordinates and we can figure out where we are.I picked up a random coordinate from https://www.random.org/geographic-coordinates/ . The coordinates are Latitude: 9.29765° N, Longitude: 59.11700°E which is in the middle of South Africa.The longitudes go from 180° W to 180° E with the Prime Meridian being the 0°.

Treaty of Waitangi Game Design Process

In the above presentation, Me and Justice made 5 possible game ideas that are related to the Treaty Of Waitangi. We are supposed to think of a game which could be played in most schools to tell people about the Treaty that keeps all cultures together in New Zealand. Our first idea was to make a Super Mario World Rom hack where you play as Mario who is a maori. You need to save the 'princess' who is the Treaty and bowser is the pakeha people.

As for our second idea, we have City Skylines which is a city building game on Steam ( The most well known platform to buy games ) and in the original game you can build any type of city so we will use that idea in our game. The player can make a city with industrial, commercial and residential areas for the maori people and after their city reaches the population of 10,000 people they would need to make the Treaty which will make everyone unite and also it will show to origins of the treaty.

Then for the Third Idea, we thought of Civilization in which you start your own " Civilization " and meet everybody. In our version of the game we have a maori civilization who will do all the things that happened in 1830s and 1840s So the player can experience everything that happened during those days.

For our Fourth Idea, We are thinking of making a version of Super Smash Bros. Especially when its new sequel has sold 12.08 million copies in 24 days.  The 30 games have sold more than 15 million copies and Smash Ultimate sold 12.08 million copies just in 24 days. We thought to make Maori people as the good people and pakeha people as the bad people.

For our final idea, we are making Diablo, which is an open world RPG game in which you learn things yourself. You earn money by killing enemies to get better armour so you get more money and the cycle repeats and it doesn't get boring. We thought to make the main character maori and Diablo as pakeha.
