So if you see anybody else's work on the internet and you would like to use it, just put it in your own words so it won't be copyright.That way you won't get in trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!
Angel, you have done some good deal of research, and I hope you will apply what you have learned to the way you do research as well as work on your game. Please, look into how much text, music, or video you can use for your research, as that might affect your work on your game. Good post!
