Our game is actually coming along well now. we only have a couple more lvls to finish then we will be done. Ive learned a lot about the basics of a court room and how things work and i really hope people who play this game will learn a bit also. it has been a major challenge for my partner and i to incorporate civics into this game, but i hope we have done a good job. each day i learn something new about making our game and im glad to have had the opportunity to take this course.

Drawing In Flash

Drawing In Flash Was The Most Fun. I Love To Draw And Be Creative, So That Made This Activity Enjoyable. Since We've Started This Class Ive Learned So Much More About My Topic. Im Proud To Be One Of The Creators Of This Game We Are Designing. I Look Forward To Making The Final Drawings.

Adding Navigation

Adding Navigation Was A Lot Of Fun. Its Kinda Like The Heart Of The Game. All The Layers Are Still A Little Confusing Right Now, But Im Sure I'll Get Used To Them Soon. This Is A Video I Found That I Thought Was Cool

Planning Our Game

2009-09-25T08:39:00.000-07:00

I was assigned the job of creating the artwork and sounds for our game. I am very good with making pictures and putting what is in my head onto paper. I am also very good with photoshop, which we will be using to make the pictures for our games. So far my team and i have had no disagreements. They seem like very easy going and laid back people. I think the inspiration for our game came from our concern of our planet. It was just something we all felt strongly about. I am very excited to see how well our games turns out, and to start creating the pictures for it. I think our game will turn out very well when we make the final copy. So far it has been a great experience, not only with creating games, but working on my social skills and working with people.

Paper Prototype

Creating The Paperprototype was a lot of fun. I enjoyed drawing the pictures and thinking of ways to improve our original ideas. I did not like having to draw everything over again, but at the same time it was manageable. This class is really helping me understand what it takes to create a game. I am excited to see the final outcome of our game.

Game Description file

Today I wrote about my teams game. I think it will be a fun game once it is complete. I had a little trouble uploading the file that talked about my game, but with mrs stalnakers help I got it up. The reason I couldn't get the file looking right was because I messed up on the code again...I am very excited to learn all they ways we will create our game.

Bunny Game

I was surprised after creating this game, because it was very easy. Although if you make one simple mistake, like upper casing a lower case letter, it will throw everything off. But over all it was simple. The best part of my topic is showing people ways to help the environment and getting involved. The worst part was having to stop. In my free time i play game like Call Of Duty, Halo, Area 51, and Prince Of Persia. I play these because they are active. I Think its good that i'm making this game because i know of none and would like to see more.

GLife Games

Two games i played today were Darfur Is Dying and Stop Disasters. These games both showed how hard life is for some people and should make us all appreciate the things we have that are good. Darfur Is Dying is about a third world country and you have to try to save the people in the village from attacks and famine. Stop Disasters is a game were you have to save an area from disasters like fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, etc. They were both very educational games and at the same time they has qualities that kept me interested. Everyone should try these games.

Class Room Safety

2009-09-01T08:34:00.000-07:00

In a class room, there are rules for keeping people and equipment safe. It is up to the students to follow these rules so everyone can function in a safe environment. These rules include no food or drinks near the computers. This insures the equipment is safe and students will not end up with a pretty big bill. Another rule is watch what you are doing at all times. There are many ways for someone to injure themselves or others around so many electrical components, due to horseplay. It is always important, also, to unplug power cables from the head and not the cord. Otherwise cables may short out, stop all together, or even tear; revealing wires with electricity running through them. This could cause minor, or serious shock. These are just a few simple rules, but we should all do our best to abide by them, and always use common sense.

With Globaloria i would like to expand my knowledge of games and computers, and create a game to the best of my ability. I would enjoy creating a game that is educational, but at the same time, actually fun. This is a very hard thing to do, and I've came across hardly any in my gaming experience. Technology has always been intriguing to me and I'm thrilled to see what the future holds for us in the field of electronics.
