Disaster-specific questions:
What were three facts you collected about your disaster while playing the game?
-Higher ground helps protect buildings and people
-If a building is made of a strong material, it is safer
-Trees can help with the defense when a tsunami hit
How did your gameplay differ from difficulty mode to difficulty mode?
List and describe at
least three differences.
-The easy mode had the biggest budget, but the least amount of required buildings
-The hardest mode had the most amount of required buildings but the smallest budget
-The medium mode felt more like the easy mode there was just less budget.
Which mode do you think might more accurately represent “real life” for regions experiencing
tsunami?
I believe the hard mode represents the “real life” experience.
Why do you think this?
Many communities do not have a large budget to be able to help build strong buildings or
buildings on higher ground.
Was there anything particularly surprising about your specific disaster’s game play?
I was
surprised that tress made an impact in the simulation.
