What’s the purpose of the game? What will it do?
My game is called, Snakes and Ladders. It’s a 2 player game where each players are playing against
each other and compete to reach the finish line first. There will be a dice that will be rolled by each
of the players and move according to the rolled number that is shown on the dice. When a player
stands in a ladder’s bottom field, they will be moved up on the ladder. If a players moves to the head
of a snake, they’ll be moved down to the end of the tail. When a player reaches the finish line, the
player is going to win the whole game and the name of the player will be displayed.
What platform is it going to be played on?
The game is going to be available on computers including desktop PCs and laptops. The game will
only require a mouse in order to be played and run. The game can also only run on Windows (XP and
newers versions) operating systems.

The Data Dictionary will help me decide the data and their types that I am planning on using in my
game. This can help me when creating the actual game as it could make programming easier and
faster. It can also help me decide if the data type would be suitable for their required place and if
they are necessary to have in the final version or not.
