Today I worked on the logistics of how the game itself would work. I worked on building a system to decide how parts would be chosen and to go deeper into which format they would be distributed. Our 3 options were: 1 Settlers of Catan, you start with certain parts and must build on from there. 2 Monopoly, you get a certain amount of money and you must gain it over time. The final option was Scrabble, where your parts are randomly assigned and then you need to make do with what you have. I decided on the second option, Monopoly ad then spent the rest of the day building and re-creating the chart to add cost and also attack.

In my game, I thought of simulate the lift a kite would get in the air by using a fan. The idea That I though of was partialy inspired from air hockey. I would have a board with a fan in the center and off to the sides of it would be little tracks that would move hand cranked spools of string down. You can move the spool up and down the track as well as rotate it. You can increase or decrease the altitude of the kite by cranking out more string from the spool while moving it. I created this out of cardboard and wooden dowels along with using hot glue and electrical tape to keep everything in place. This captures the essence of kite fight because it gives you the control that flying a kite would be like and it is two person. I did not include to cut down and capture aspect of thsi game because I think it would be too dificult to inplment beace you would have to reattach the kite each time you cut it down. overall I would say I was slightly sucessfull at capturing the essence of this game beacuse I was able to control the kites but the fan made them flap all around with is not what it is like in kite fighting. I would advance the project further by making a new version made out of wood with presice measurments, and I would also try to get a better fan. Another Way I could advance it is to have customizable kites. I might also try to add some sort of funnel to control the airflow of the fan.
