Create a game

Last week in class we discussed how games are put together and were allowed to put our own personal spin on a classic game such as Chess.  My team decided to turn the board diagonally and strategically place pawns and pieces where it would resemble a battlefield.  No more would you have to preserve your troops, this game we designed was meant to be bloody all the way through till you reached the king.  We kept that one essential of the original game, where no king shall be slaign,  the original format in which the king must be check mated was kept per order of our teacher.  A wealth of feedback was given by our classmates who got to participate first hand at our creation.  It went fairly smoothly because we didn’t take to much away from the game and yet we still had a new look at it.  More or less, we discovered that creating a game is a hard process, Not only do you have to come up with something creative, but the replay value of it must be a hit in order for it to be a success.

     The John Boyle Company has a main hub of operations located in New Britain Ct, just across town on the upper east side.  When you enter this facility you are immediately taken back by a  swaray of choices to make, ranging from  discount prices, color tones,  flooring and carperting needs all the way up to industrial size spray pumps.   Attached to the store front is a warehouse encompassing the size of a highschool gymnasium, with shelves upon shelves of  your whos who of painting supplies and paint gadgets.  Each shelf, row and wall is labeled and marked with a series of numbers and alphabets.  No; its not an Algebra class, these numbers and letters supply valuable information to the saleperson and the consumer.  

Throughout a normal workday 10 to 20 contractors will come in the store with a list of their needs and be able to direct themselves to the appropriate isle and shelf to pick up their order.  In the rear of the building a garage door that opens the entire height of the building opens for easy pickup and deliveries.   Every shelf in the store and warehouse is easily moveable and rearrangeable for quick accessability with forklifts and pallet jacks.     

Within the wherehouse there lay catacombs of offices that ensure products are ordered on a steady in and outflow  for the companies operation.  Soon more space will be available for an entire upgradeof shelves that will be the grounds for a new tracking system.
