Choosing a topic

I chose this topic because my grandpa was in the Vietnam War and I think that it is an interesting topic to learn about and to play a game about. I also chose it because it seems like a challenge to make a game about the Vietnam War without making it violent and making it educational and I want a challenge.

These are my facts about the war and its links:

• Fact 1:Vietnamese waged an anti-colonial war against France and received $2.6 billion in financial support from the United States
• Fact 2:French defeat at the Dien Bien Phu was followed by a peace conference in Geneva, in which Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam received their independence and Vietnam was temporarily divided between an anti-Communist South and a Communist North
• Fact 3:To support the South’s government, the United States sent in 2,000 military advisors, a number that grew to 16,300 in 1963.
• Fact 4:From 1968 to 1973 efforts were made to end the conflict through diplomacy.
• Fact 5:The Vietnam War cost the United States 58,000 lives and 350,000 casualties. It also resulted in between one and two million Vietnamese deaths.

March Of The Penguins

What challenges do the penguins have to overcome?
The penguins have to overcome starvation, and harsh weather.
How does their habitat challenge their livelihood each day?
Their habitat challenges them because its below freezing and they could die of hypothermia.
What types of adaptations do penguins need in order to survive brutal winters as well as predators?
They have blubber now and their skin/fur is thicker and they can swim away they also dive up when getting away from predators and land on ice and if the predators can get on land to be quicker they slide on their bellies so they can get away.
Why is there a period of time in which there is practically no sunlight? What affect can no sunlight have on this region of Antarctica?
Their is that time because the earth is on its axis and Antarctica will be further away at some point of time which makes no sum light and the sun gives up warmth and that means their is no warmth or sun and that means it cold.
How could climate change negatively impact the mating ritual of the Emperor Penguin?

Climate change can effect the mating ritual because the ice will brake off and their will be no where the ice is thick enough and that will decline the population making it endangered or extinct.
