The Gaming with Alice for Middle School
Education (GAME)
team is interested in
having middle school students use the Alice program , developed by
ETC co-founder Randy Pausch, to create games focusing on interactive storytelling.
While teaching students Alice and developing game with them, we also research on girls
and game development since everyone would like to have more female friendly, gender
neutral games: girls themselves, parents, educators, and the game companies.
The International School of the Peninsula (ISTP), an independent,
co-educational dual language
school for nursery through eighth grade students.
With 25 years of educational achievement,
ISTP is recognized as a leader in bilingual
education and offers two 'nursery through fifth
grade' bilingual immersion programs:
Chinese-English and French-English.

In
elementary school, I had my first taste of computer programming,
learning QuickBASIC. I soon became hooked. But what truly
inspired me to enter the world of computer game design was when
I participated in the World Cyber Games in 2001, playing
Half-Life: Counter-Strike in a team of female gamers. In playing
online games, I discovered that there were certain problems and
weaknesses, and hackers would exploit them, so I began to do
research into �cheat� programs that hackers use to alter online
games. This causes games to be dominated by bots, resulting in
many players losing interest. Intrigued by so many aspects and
problems involving computer gaming, I have decided to continue
on to advanced studies of computer game design and 3D
graphics.In 1998 I entered National Cheng Kung University, where
I double-majored in Computer Science and Information Engineering
and Transportation and Communication Management Science to gain
an understanding of the behavior of transport systems for
applying to game development. The course that captivated me the
most was Virtual Reality, which was intimately connected to the
world of gaming. In this class I learned API OpenGL, VRML, and
C++, applying my skills in creating a 3D hospital and a racing
game for my final project. After graduation I began working for
Digicell Entertainment, While there I made use of the knowledge
I had gained from my studies, supplemented by my own independent
research, to solve computer-related problems the company had and
come up with new ideas for their games. Many games seemed geared
toward what the programmers thought would be cool instead of
what would interest the gamer. In addition to gaining additional
skills and experience such as network server administration as
well as C-Script and UnrealScript programming, this position
gave me greater insight into the flaws in game design. I am good
at making 3D models, rigging, character animation, and
programming. I'd like to code for help rigging and animation
