Google Day # 2
My three goals of the day are:
1. Find some of the most successful computer games and why are they successful.
2. Choose the site we will use to make the actual game and why did we chose that site.
3. What awards and accolades can you win for a very successful and popular game.

I used YouTube as useful link because I found the tutorial of Kodu which is the game creator we are going to use. The tutorial explains what are the steps to use this game creator that can be downloaded very easily and for free. This video also explains you can use any control to work create your game such as an Xbox control, your computer keyboard, etc. It also explains the icons utility and how each one works.
