trace paper prototype

I think it is harder to draw in flash than in real life. this is because it is harder to use a mouse than a pencil. We should get those drawer pads for the cp. That would be way easier.

paper prototype

The paper prototype helped me visualize the games looks. Hopefully we can make it look as good in flash as it does on the paper. So far it is looking good. We still have a few more things to do but that is all. The game to me looks great. Hopefully it looks as good to me as every one else.

In your video you should add more female actors because I only saw one. Their acting was okay and funny. Next time can they actually die so it would have looked a lot realer. And finally the people were really funny. Other than all that it was really cool and fun looking we should do that.

plan game scene

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) How will you make sure your game is not hurtful to any group of people?

The game will be more for high school and over because you need good reading comprehension.

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!)
  • If you are making a social issue game, how will you show multiple perspectives?

Our game will teach how to get to college and stay in.

• WHERE does your game happen?
  • Describe the world you will design for your game.
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience?

Our game will happen at a kids home and at college.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn?
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game?

Our game will teach the world how to go to college. It will also tell you what to do when you get there.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz?

because it makes the game more interactive and fun.

choose game genre

Our team game is going to be a  really good game because we have a lot of people helping us out. when we put our minds together we will make a great game. After the game will be amazing and fun. But also educational.

choose a learning topic

I don't really like this topic.Mainly because mr. streckfus chose it and we had no say. I waould have done a topic with more of an opportunity to to have action. Then we would have more fun doing it. Then we could make a great game.

plan workflow

The reason that i picked this role was because I am an okay programmer and have worked in 3.0 before. I know a little about it and think that I can help out a lot. I also like to test things to see if they work. That means i get to test it and play the game.

Play to learn.

 I would like to make an action adventure game because they are really fun and are a great way to learn about a topic in a fun way. I learned a lot about safety. I wanna learn how they made the controls for the atv game.

Course over veiw

I think that we will make a great game and have fun doing it. I hope we finish all our work and get to win something. But it does not matter as long as we have fun. I hope we get done in time though. finally I think that we should make the best game we've ever made by ourselves.

Present game

• The Big Idea: My player needs to learn the effects of deforestation and how they change the environment. 
• Making Decisions:
•  I learned a lot more about the topic and its effects.
• Roles & Responsibilities: First I made a tracing and the code which took the most time.
• Research:  I researched the topic on Google and the national geographic web site.
• The User Experience:To play the game you move the mouse to move the character around to collect saws. if you hit a plant you lose.
• Mastering Flash: The main recources were the wiki. I also asked friends.
• Overcoming Challenges:  My main challenges were the corrections on the code. Also the drawing was hard.
• Next Steps: What are you going to do with your game next? Who do you plan to show your game to? How will your game have an impact on your community? How could it change your school or neighborhood? Who will it help?

paper prototype

Making the paper prototype was fun and not too hard. I had to think what needed to be what and if it was good or bad. it helps with the game because it gives me an idea of what my game will be like. I think it would be good if I could trace this to my game. Finally I think It will be what my game will be like exactly.

Choose Learning Topic

I like this topic because it gives me the freedom to be creative by letting me decide what hurts the plants and what is good for them. It also lets me choose how to control how to move the character.  I also get to draw the objects and people. Finally I will use movement to teach them how to avoid the plants. You are helping the forest by collecting all the harmful objects that are bad for the environment. You will run around the forest collecting lighters, matches,  saws and pollution. Once the objects are collected they are disposed of. Once that is over you saved the environment.

Mobile - Learn to Design for Mobile

• Describe two designs for your Side Scrolling Action game – one for mobile and one for console.
• Explain the differences between the two and why you made those decisions.
• Comment on another student's blog on this topic.
• Don't forget to fill in the section for blog link and comment on your Projects Page when you finish

    My two designs would be a running and jumping game for mobile. For the console there would be shooting involved. The differences would be one would run in a strait line and you did the jumping. the other would stay in one place and shoot.

my weekend

What I did over the weekend was got to target. Then I went to the mall, we walked around for a few hrs. The next day I went to Walmart. An hr later I went to the Austin Roller Rink. Then we went to the movies.

there was a time when i had to make a hard decision

There was a time when I had to make hard decision. But I did the right thing. I found 20 dollors on the ground. Then I took it to the teacher to find who it belonged to. We found out who's it was at the end of the day.
I felt good because I did the right thing. She was really happy and we became friends. I am still happy that I gave it to the teacher. I also remember her mother thanking me. Mainly because it was her birthday money.
