Reflective essay #2

The article assigned for this essay was very long. It did have a lot of info in it, some of which I remember.
One of the things I remember is that play outside is very important. The game creator the article was about told several stories about his childhood and the games he played. Many of the games were outside and made use of “imagination.”  He made use of his games and the places where he played as a child in the process of creating video games.
During my childhood I also played many games. I often played alone, though I also played with my siblings and our pets.  As my father was in the Army, we often moved and so I was able to play in many different settings, from huge fields with creeks running through them to small fenced yards to playgrounds of many sizes.
I will try to bring my childhood play memories forward and incorporate them into the projects of this class. So far I am enjoying DMF203.  Learning to use Flash and program with it is proving to bear lot of fun. Classes that are fun are more enjoyable to me.
