A while back, I got a deal on some software called RPG Maker VX Ace. It is a utility for creating old school looking RPGs. I got the idea to make a game that my students could play that had elements of Science in it. The basic premise was that the school got attacked by acids and bases and the students had to act as the hero to defeat them. I created a mechanic for the students to use specialized "attacks" to neutralize the acids and bases. An "acid" attack would do extra damage to the base monster and a "base" attack would do extra damage to an acid monster.
I also mapped out our school, put in the teachers and staff, an wrote the story to place the player as the hero of the day.
On top of creating the game, I had students in my Computers class record music for the game. Finally, I had my Computers students play the game and write up bug reports for me.
