For the last project, “a biographical-toy,” I chose to make Connect-4, a game where there is two players who have to try and get their chips four in a row, whether its in a line or diagonal. When I was younger, I would play games like this instead of playing with dolls or other toys. I liked games where you had to think and strategize to win, and I specifically remember one game that I really enjoyed playing, which was Connect-4. So I decided to make a replica of that game. I have been collecting bottle caps so that worked perfectly as the chips you use. And I had an old book and cardboard that I used, along with 4 water bottles. The most difficult part was cutting the little squares in the hard cover book, but after I finished that it was pretty easy. The rest of the project consisted of measuring the dimensions of the chips to make them able to fit well, and painting and hot gluing. Overall, I think the outcome looks very much like the real game, with just a little bit of abstract added to it. I was happy that you could actually play this game and also that it was very durable, so it would be hard to break. I am pleased with the end product of this assignment.
