Interactive Learning

The goal of my project is to make an interactive game that engages the player and allows them to learn something.

Merriam-Webster says that learning is "the act or experience of one that learns."

That's it. The Experience. I want the game to be a learning experience.

I have really enjoyed it, and I believe I will be making my game to fit the ages of 3-5. The Pre-school to Kindergarten age. It is a really fun age range to work with. The absorb everything. It will be fun making a game that the pre-schoolers can play and learn from.
