Podcast Project Reflection Journal

            Alright so this project started way before we came back from winter break. It started the day before we went on break when we were assigned to watch 9 podcast which can be watched from about 5 different podcast stations an example is the Moth, Ted Talk, Radio Lab, etc... The podcast stations I chose to watch were Radio Lab and Ted Talk because they both contained episodes which peaked my interest and I actually found interesting to listen to. From Ted Talk I found the episode known as "The New Frontier" to be the most interesting out of all that I listened to this is because it discussed the topic of whether humans should live in mars and in what way would they exactly live their and thrive in the cold vacuum of space. From Radio Lab the episode "Infective Heredity" was the most interesting to me seeing as it discussed how that in the past every creature and each of their respective species would share genes with one another and later exhibit those genes through their descendants which would quicken the evolution rate we once thought took hundreds or even thousands of years. 

            After come back from the break we were then assigned a two part project. The first part of the project was to create a game based on one the podcast we listened to over the break I chose to do my game on "The New Frontier" because its a very interesting topic with countless ideas which can be implemented in a game. After getting my idea for my game which would be a story based game which would cover the hero's journey factor of the project with some sort of shooting type mini-game within it to make enjoyable. After working for days to create the game I finally was able to finish it and move on to the next part of the project.
            The second part of the project was to create a website in which the two of the podcasts stations of which you listened to will be displayed along with 3 episode for each podcast which you of course listen too. And a way to listen to the podcast was also needed so the user could have the option to. After working hard for about 3 days I finished the website and only needed to connect both my website and my game to fully have completed the project and that what I did by creating a link in the navigation bar of my homepage which would lead the user to my game. My home game page and website page can be seen below.
