2D Game design Assignment 1:
Evaluate game elements

Summary:

Lets begin our game design by looking carefully at some game elements.

This project requires writing. If you fear that you will not be able to write well enough, and particularly if you are a non-native speaker and need a bit of polishing after your thoughts are on paper, you are encouraged to use the BSU writing  studio

Details:

Write these up in standard Formal English.
