For this level i liked the idea of full functionality of a character, or being able to move up, down, left, and right. As far as using this for our game we might use it as a mini game but replace the objects floating with trash and instead of avoiding them you pick them up in order to stop littering.

This is my attempt at a pong game, it was my first time using a game generator luckily this one was a little easy to use, coding wise.  It was fun getting familiarized with an engine like this.
I thought about making this card character specific but then realized that many people were going to have character specific cards and i wanted every player to have a chance of using this modifier especially when faced with a stronger opponent.
I wanted to give players that are falling behind a little advantage allowing them to take advantage of three rounds. Opponent will be unable to do anything for the remainder of the cards use.

Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans", is considered a heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint.  She helped lead her army to victory during the Hundred year war.  She was brave beyond that of most warriors in her army and she had the respect of all the men who served under her. 
Articulate, passionate and a naturally gifted and inspirational orator, Malcolm X exhorted blacks to cast off the shackles of racism "by any means necessary," including violence. Describing himself as the “angriest black man in America”, Malcolm rejected Martin Luther King‘s non-confrontational approach and mocked King’s March on Washington (August 1963).
