As can be seen in the PowerPoint pages bellow i have done a small little review of clash of clans and what features can be found on it as well as a simple and basic concept of what the game is about.

The game is an online strategy game that users play and interact with many other users from all around the world who are also playing clash of clans. The aim of the game is to build up an army as well as a strong defensive base in order to protect your resources from other players attacks as well as go out with your army an attack other players bases in order to get more resources. These resources are used to upgrade characters which make them stronger and evolve specialized skills that come in useful as well as to build and upgrade your base in order to make it stronger.

There is a community aspect to clash of clans as players join up to form a clan an battle against other clans over a common goal to be the winning team and receive a large amount of resources for winning. Clan is there also as a support network as clan members are able to send resources as well as troops to help another member out if their bases is being attacked by another player. clan members are bale to chat to one another using an online chat which allows users to either send direct private messages to a specific person or send broadcast messages on an online chat forum where players playing all over the world are able to interact and chat with one another while playing the game.

When ever there are open chat options available there will always be people who dont use it in the correct manner and may offend other players on the network, that is why clash of clans has a strict set of guide line. The basic set of rules would to be respectful to the other players and clan members. No abusive or racial comments shall be tolerated if it becomes a pattern a user can both be exempt from a clan as well as booted off the main servers for the game. Trolling (bullying within a game) will also not be tolerated as the person know as the "troll is only there to provoke a person in order to get a reaction out of them hence this is not tolerated as well as frowned upon within the electronic gaming community not only on mobile games but on all genre of gaming where online play with other users is an aspect to the game.

The community side of the game could be used to teach not only kids but adults of the importance of being a good digital citizen as it allows users to interact with other users on the game and if their online behavior is not up to standard and abusive or wrong in anyway they can and will be kicked off the servers not allowing them to play the game which is seen as a punishment to the user if they have invested time and effort into leveling up the characters and bases on the game.
