Game Review

Game Review

I played a new game called "Yellow".
Click here to try it!

(Goal of the Game)
You have to solve puzzles or push buttons, and paint the screen yellow. Each phase has different types of puzzles.




(Pros+ and Cons-)
(+) This is very educational because you have to think and solve the puzzles to change the color to yellow.
(+) Easy to play
(+) It doesn't take time to load the game.
(+) The pictures are simple.

(-) There is no direction or explanation which parts to move to solve the puzzles in the game.
(-) Sometimes it's too difficult to move to the next stage.
(-) Its color is yellow, so probably the screen is too bright.

(Rating)
I give this game 8/10.
I would recommend it for those who like puzzles. This game is so simple that some may find it boring. However, the puzzles are pretty hard, which is better than very easy to solve, and it should be satisfying when you solve it.

I Found a Great Free Game (Cargo Bridge 2)

I Found a Great Free Game 

(Cargo Bridge 2)


Today, I've played a great game.
It's free and it's also great for learning about bridges and Physics.
You can play it for free here:


This is my design for level 8:


(Bridge Design)

3 ropes
2 pieces of steel
6 pieces of wood
6 walks (floor pieces)
$2,529 left

Unfortunately, my bridge only lasted 1 minute and 43 seconds.
Look at Bob and the elephant in this picture:


He does not think this design is not good. Few materials were used and the bridge was so weak.
Can you make a better one? Please try this game out!

Transportation Survey Analysis

Transportation Survey Analysis

My research topic: Transportation
Target: Ritsumeikan university students
Number of respondents: 7

(Summary) Students answered 9 questions about transportation.

(Question and analysis)

#1








I thought most of people would choose train because this university is near the station, and many students are from cities other than Ibaraki city.
Also, it is predictable that few of them use cars because it should cost more.
However, I did not expect none of them used bus to commute.

#2










As the first graph shows that most of students use train to commute, this graph shows that use of train is 71.4%.
However, it is surprising that some of them walk to the university without using public transportation.

#3










According to the graph showing that most of students say it takes 1 hour to commute, you can imagine that most of people are come far from Ibaraki city.
I live in Kyoto and it takes about 1 hour to school. So they should be from Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga, Hyogo, or somewhere in Kansai as well.

#4










Only JR and Hankyu were chosen. I guess this is because they are only transportation that they can use around this university. 
It is surprising that though JR is more expensive, they use it more than Hankyu.

#5







Many students chose 8:00. I think this is because people other than students use the transportation as well. 

#6







Some of them answered that they had used the transportation 2 days, 3 days, or 4 days ago, which can mean that they use it frequently. 

#7








I found that many go to school in the morning in the latter of a week, while it is around noon in the former of a week. 


#8











Many people say its price is what they like about the transportation. Also, others say that they do not get drenched if they take the train.

#9










Although they answered that the transportation is cheap, JR is still expensive. Also, the frequency is inconvenient.

(Conclusion)
I summarized the questionnaire, and found an interesting result. Surprisingly, though they still use the transportation, many people commute to school without taking it. Moreover, JR is criticized to be expensive.
