English project ideas
-----------------------------------
I have to do a creative project for April 19th for the novel Lord of the Flies and my teacher said I have to incorporate technology into it, so I decided to make a computer game. I have no what kind of game to make. Does anyone have any ideas?

No offence but do you honestly think this is Turing related? Also, have you checked this before?

It is Turing related because I'm making it in Turing. And yes I have read that topic but I need ideas specific to The Lord of the Flies

well, you could make it like Age of Empires or something like that, where you control the boys, keep them alive, wage wars on each other, blah blah blah...

Just do an interactive story type thing. It isn't too hard, and it is definitely relevant and has much potential.

Like this.. but for Lord of the Flies.

Oh and darknoob? Who are you? I be at Humberside, but not everyone else here is. I believe it is at least TDSB curriculum for grade 10 LOTF if not all OSS's

Thanks for the ideas. I'm thinking of doing an RPG although I'm not too sure where to start.

No I'm at Mackenzie High School in Deep River, that's about ~6 hours away from Toronto

Why not "stick the pig", or throw rocks off a cliff at Piggy?:wink: 

If you're doing RPG, it would be cool to somehow represent the two "sides", as children switch over and moral changes.  Sounds like a novel concept though - keep us updated.

Yeah, that's what I'm going to try to do, but if I can't do that I'll just make several simple minigames.
