🎮 G4C Game Hosting Page Assignment

Build your own game portfolio site and go live like a real dev!

🧾 Overview:

You’ve designed an awesome game—now it’s time to share it with the world using a custom web page! You'll customize a pre-made template and publish it online using GitHub Pages. This is your opportunity to showcase your creativity, design thinking, and technical skills.

✅ What to Do:

1️⃣ Clone the Project Repository

• Go to this GitHub repo:
  👉 https://github.com/Thomas-A-Edison-CTE-HS/G4C.git
• Fork or Clone it into your own GitHub account.
• Open the project in your code editor.

2️⃣ Customize Your Web Page

Open index.html and make it yours:

✍️ Replace all Lorem ipsum text with your original writing:

• 🎯 PITCH – What is your game about? What’s the objective? Why will players love it?
• 🌱 THEME – Choose one of the official G4C themes and explain how your game ties into it:
  • Outplay Hunger
  • Nurture Yourself with Nature
  • Peace Formers
• 🧠 MY WHY – Why did you create this game? What message or impact do you hope it has?

✨ Also update:

• The quote/tagline at the top
• Your name and role
• Your avatar image or placeholder
• The LinkedIn or social media link (can be fake/blank if preferred)

---

3️⃣ Show Off Your Game

Depending on where your game is hosted:

✅ If it's embeddable, like from Itch.io, update the <iframe> link.

⚠️ If it’s on Play.Unity.com, it won’t embed:

• Record a short demo video of your game (screen capture)
• Add it to your page using the included <video> element
• Include a direct link to your Unity-hosted game so others can play it!
