Last Two Weeks

2010-05-10T10:21:00.000-07:00

For the last two weeks we have been working hard. We had to finish our game and update our team pages. Wesley and I think our game worked out good. Our team page looks nice and uses correct grammar. Now, we are very glad we chose Globaloria!

4/12/10 Objectives

2010-04-12T10:12:00.000-07:00

Today we are going to learn about how to use special effects on Adobe Flash. Some of the effects we will learn how to use are the blur effect, the drop shadow effect, the explode effect, and the transform effect, and the expand effect. These will help make our games more interesting and look m ore professional. Special effects will make the game seem much more fun from the outside looking in.

Learning from Others Part I

2010-02-04T10:02:00.000-08:00

In this activityI learned how to copy a lot of stuff from Flash files. I learned how to copy movie clips, layers, scenes, and ActionScript codes from other people's wikis. This will be very helpful in making my game because my backgrounds are going to be videos.

1/22 Blog of the Week

2010-01-28T09:52:00.000-08:00

The knowlege that I got from editing the fly catcher game will be very helpful for my game. I retaught myself how to change around the point system. I learned some new things like how to change action distance, length, and time duration of that action. Editing this game was very helpful in my case and I think that it was a good idea to refresh our memory on this.

My View on Snow Days

2010-01-15T09:52:00.000-08:00

I think the snow day system should be changed so we can be able to have 180 days of school. We have to go to school 180 days to recieve federal aid. The problem is, WV has a law that won't let us start school before August 25th and won't let us go past June 9th. In the eastern part of the state we recieve a lot of snow. This snow keeps us from reaching our 180 days of instruction. We can't stop the snow so the only way we can reach the 180 days is to extend the legal WV school year.

Yesterday we worked wih buttons in Flash. It is simple if you know what you are doing and you have the right process down. In my game it could help because I will definitely help because we will need to make a "PLAY" button at the least and we will probably end up with about thirty different buttons throughout the game.

Paper Prototyping 10/26

2009-10-26T10:38:00.000-07:00

Paper prototyping is difficult and has to be well organized (which Wesley and I learned the hard way). It is a good way to lay out your game and to figure out what all to put into your game. While we were int the middle of prototyping we kept thinking of different things to add to the game. After we finally finished, we found out that we needed to find some way to make it a little more organized. We ended up numbering the pages so it was a little easier to navigate around.

10/15

2009-10-16T10:15:00.000-07:00

My game is going to be about a farm that is suffering. You have to do your neighbors favors so they will help you through the winter. You don't know it yet but if you don't help your neighbors enough you will die of starvation. The more help you give your neighbors the easier it will be to get through the winter. Different favors will have different point values but they will also take up different lengths of time. Every 500 points you get is a can of food.

10/10 and 10/11 weekend

2009-10-13T09:52:00.000-07:00

My weekend was fun...Which is the normal. The only bad thing that happened was my engine blew during practice so I had to race with our spare engine. It was a money race and that made it even worse. I ended up getting last because of the engine difficulties but I wasn't far behind. It was kind of crazy but I had fun!

10/7

2009-10-08T10:22:00.000-07:00

Today we finished the rabbit game. We learned how to make a score box and how to change the points per different objects. This was aggravating at first but after you get the hang of it, it becomes much easier. This will help us a lot when we start making our own game. I'm glad we did this project. Thanks Ms. Dolan for putting up with us.

10/5 and 10/6

2009-10-06T10:20:00.000-07:00

The past two days we have been making a game where a rabbit has to eat the carrots..... Adobe Flash is very complicated if you dont pay attention. We learned how to make the rabbit move up, down, left, and right.

9/14 and 9/15

2009-09-17T10:30:00.000-07:00

In the last two days we learned a lot. Probably the most important thing that we learned was, we learned how to upload pictures. I'm glad that we learned how to do that because I love to be able to show people what I mean with pictures. The next thing that I would like to do is be able to upload videos.

BOW SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-09-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

I am really happy because today is the first day that I get to go bow hunting!!!!! I can't wait to get home!

2009-09-10T10:25:00.000-07:00

Today we learned a lot about blogging.
We learned how to change the colors on our blogs and make it ours.
We also added other people in our class so that we would be able to get to their page faster to comment on there blogs.

Globaloria Presight

2009-09-09T10:05:00.000-07:00

In Globaloria this year I hope to create a nice Roleplay game. I am really hoping that we can make a game with a partner. When I signed up for this class all I knew was that it was a game design class but now that I am in it I am glad that I took it. I am seeing this class as being very fun.

2009-09-08T10:34:00.000-07:00

Today we uploaded a picture for our glog spot account.

Obama's Address to Students

2009-09-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

This was a very good speech. I feel that he covered every point that he needed to. I liked how he told a story about himself that related to the subject that he was covering.

2nd Blog

2009-09-03T10:14:00.000-07:00

This is my second blog. I made my other blog at FCSEC. On my other blog I used it to show things about me. It had a page called "Hobbies". I had pics of hunting and racing .
