Welcome to Your FLVS STEM Video Game Challenge Wiki

This is a place for you and the other FLVS students to share ideas, post questions and support one another throughout this process. But remember, your Video Game is YOUR own work. NO ONE else can help you (unless they are on your team). Remember appropriate behavior on this site is a MUST!
