Prototype follies

Well during the stages of paper prototyping my idea altered from the run your own school game to Lawnmower Madness which is similar to Paperboy object of the game being to mow lawns for a high score and best time. the idea was a joke that i had on the back burner and when i decided that the school funding game was too hard i made lawnmower madness my game. the educational value will be business, decision making and of course facts about grass.
the paper prototyping made me really understand how to assess how many possible sprites and grounds even options could be used in a seemingly simple game certainly takes a higher level of understanding and possibly i might return to the school idea some time.
