In day 1 I was trying to make a good foundation for where I was going to put everything. I also was talking with MS. Walrod about making paper machete.
I am planning to create The 50th hunger games arena. This will relate to Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins because it will show what the characters saw and felt like during the book.

Iteration day 8
Today I painted the cornacopia and the volcano and put them on the diorama
Iteration day 9

The idea for my project was to create a volcano holua sled race wich is native to Hawwai'i.

Day 1 work
Today, Finished both of the sleds frames
Day 2 work
Today I started to make a stand. I did not get much work done because I initially thought I was going to make a mountain, but I decided to switch to a stand
Day 3 work
Today, I got a lot of work done on the stand. On the final, I will use rocks to put the sleds on and hot glue and paint to get an -oozzy lava feel.
Even though I thought i would do a stand I decided to co back to the race course because it was harder and more fun
Dungeons and Dragons Campaign based on the story from "Ranger's Apprentice. Ruins of Gorlan"
I will create a D&D campaign based on the travels of the characters in "Ranger's Apprentice. Ruins of Gorlan". This will relate to " Ranger's Apprentice. Ruins of Gorlan." because it will represent how the characters move through the world.

This is my first sketch
Today I used a character sheet format to build my character sheets and print them out
This is Will's Character Sheet
This is Halt's Character Sheet
This is Gilan's Character Sheet
Day 1
Today I created a D&D Board in Cuttle and will Lasercut it tomorrow.
Day 2
Today I made a sculpture of Halt made of Model Magic
Day 3
Today I made the D&D board out of wood and finished the sculptures
Day 4
Today I added acrylic to the top of the D&D Board so I can draw on it.
Day 5
Day 5
Today I painted the sculptures to make them more recognisable
This is the finished physical part of the project.

Day 6
This is my storyline for the campaign.
Day 7
These are my photos for the DM's Board
Day 8

This is the unfolded DM's Board
Day 10
This is a dice roller I made in scratch.
This is a diagram of the storyline of the campaign
This is a diagram of how the players will keep track of their health.
I created a replica of prison that relates to my book The Savage Fortress by: Sarwat Chadda because it is the Demon Kings prison.
Prison cells are usually made of steel, concrete, and masonry.
I will make my cell out of lego. I will make it by making a cube shape but having different shades of a color, and some of the sides will not be even because it has decayed.
This was my initial sketch and was planning on making the prison out of Lego and the bridge going to it out of model magic, wooden sticks, and cardboard. I ended up deciding to make it out of only cardboard and wooden sticks
I will create the Transit Communicator from the Testing, a device that acts as a map and allows you to see where you are in the world. Cia (The main character) uses this during the 4th test of the Testing when she must find her way back to Testing Headquarters. This project is interactive as you can move around the map in the communicator as Cia does in the novel.

Iterations: Chat GPT Help
I received lots of code to help make my tilemap from Chat GPT that I would normally add but is very long, complicated, and wouldn't fit on the page.
It has taken a lot of time and ChatGPT has helped me with many iterations, none of which are what I want. I am still working on having it help me with making a map and not just a bunch of symbols.

This is as far as I have gotten. However, ChatGPT has been starting to understand that I want a map and while this doesn't have any physical features, it is close to physically working as expected.
The Makey-Makey I will be using.
The Laser Cut I will use to disguise the Makey-Makey as the Transit Communicator.
I made the frame bigger to give it leeway.
The sides and bottom work but the arrows and screen are not aligned with the Makey Makey's.
I fixed the top of the box, given that the screen and arrows were not lining up.
It Fits!
I added micro-adjustments to the circle buttons and charging port to align make them align with the ones on the Makey-Makey.
I was able to cut and arrange the frame on my Makey-Makey.
I then painted my frame.
I finished the frame and am waiting for the paint on the missing side to dry because I accidently painted the wrong side of the wood.
This is the plaque for my project.
I cut my plaque to display at my table!
After endless chats with ChatGPT, I finally gave up on the AI and decided to make the tilemap (background) the old fashioned way. This worked very well for me and I was able to make my map successfully.
I uploaded it onto the physical Makey-Makey and it worked!
