Reflection

I observed that simulation games are usually interesting, and people often feels a sense of achievement when they build something on their own. Besides, with a simulation game, people can understand the difficulty of doing something, and learn knowledge about it. Therefore, I decided to make a simulation game, presenting the serious problem of global warming to people. When doing this project, I looked for information about global warming online, and learned some impressing data: A city like New York and Shanghai produces more than 190 million tons of CO2 annually, which is about 500 000 kilo tons every day. Currently, average global temperature is about 17 ℃ , about 1.5 ℃ higher than that in 19th Century. However, a save temperature that prevents sea surface from rising should be lower than 13℃. Eventually, I set my game’s goal to controlling average temperature of a single city to 5℃ , and set the emission of CO2 of factories and residences based of the researches.
