Challenges in Globaloria

There have been tons of challenges in Globaloria but I don't really have time to name all of them so I will just cover the general challenges. Like coding, coding has to be the hardest of it all cause if you mess one thing up you may as well start again. Even if it is a tiny adjustment it could mess the whole thing up. Also there is just the general making of the game. Really it takes up precious time too. The creation of the game can be challenging because you never know when you might mess up and it is very confusing. There is just one more challenging element of Globaloria and that is just doing extra stuff that goes with Globaloria. Like the activities we have to do like Game Demos, Team pages, and keeping up with your Blogger. I think this is just a big distraction, and I don't really see the point in all of it. Why can't we just work on our game and get a total grade at the end of the year? Why can't it be that simple?
