Global Kids' Playing 4 Keeps is an innovative youth media project, where we, Global Kids Leaders at South Shore High School, are gaining leadership and game design skills that we'll use to develop and produce socially conscious online games. Once produced, our game will have the potential to educate thousands of young people about a critical global issue.

Are cheat codes cheating?

In yesterday's program, we talked about the possibility of adding cheat codes into the game. A cheat code is something you can do as a player to immediately advance - such as raising your level, or ability, or changing your location.

Many students liked the idea of having some cheat codes. DeWayne disagreed, saying a game with cheat codes is not a game. It is cheating.

Many of the GK Leaders, playing the Alpha, were frustrated by getting deep into debt. The idea was raised to have a cheat code to get oneself out of debt.

DeWayne responded, "The question is, in Haiti can you use a cheat code to get out of poverty?"

That settled that.
