I made this game for an assignment where we chose a topic and told to make something to teach about it. I chose ocean pollution as my topic and I decided to make this game to teach about it. The process of brainstorming ideas and iterating on them for this game was immensely useful to me as a programmer and as a designer.  Beyond the technical skills that I sharpened through making this game, I also tested my ability to manage my time and stay dedicated to a project. In the end I succeeded and was able to create a (in my opinion) decent little management game about my topic.
