We can blog about anything to day so I decided to blog about Thanksgiving which is tomorrow! I just can't wait for all the food like turkey, ham, mash potatoes, green beans, rolls, macaroni, and lots more. I usually eat at my house and then at my grandma's house. I love beening with my friends & family on thanksgiving they're so funny, which always puts a smile on my face and they make good food. Thanksgiving is my 3rd favorite holiday. I'm thankful for all my family, us beening together, food, fun, and laughing.
I kinda like it I didn't think it was to hard to do really but, Mrs. Barker helped us with it so that's probably why I think it wasn't all that hard. I know how to make a button now it's really cool and we have to know how to make one because they are involved in our game were making. Yeah it was fun, because I learned something new about how to make a button in flash. Then she started teaching us about how to make one scene go to another by using the button. Now that was a little hard and sorta confusing but, I'm getting the hang of it. We also had to make sure we put the code in the actions layer and make sure it's right so that it wouldn't keep on looping around, instead it stopped.
Some of my new experiences in globaloria is drawing our game which is called "paper prototyping", then drawing it in flash which is called "drawing in flash", and learning all those new/different things in flash which was pretty fun yet confusing. We also had to learn how to make a button in flash. I helped Brittney if she needed help and she helped me I think our team worked good together in drawing in flash, we learned about teamwork. :) Those are my experiences I have had in globaloria and I'm going to have a lot more along the way.
We had to read and watch tutorials to learn how to use layers and key frames. I have been doing the about me for our game and it isn't really all that hard. I'm not quit done yet though because were I missed and stuff but, I'm getting there. I actually think it's fun learning all these new things about flash and being able to get to use them to draw our game. I really don't like it when I can't get something if flash to do what I want it to do or when I don't understand how it works. But, besides that I think I'm doing great in flash and in globaloria.
My role in the team is coder that's were I handle codes. I think I'll be good at this job because I remember things and I'm good with codes. We had a couple disagreements like, when we were choosing different colors for the capes people could choose Britteny wanted pink but Dustin said no so we decided to go with purple. I look forward to having lots of fun,putting the game together,and the difficult little things that we will have to solve. My inspiration for our game is math it inspired us to choose addition for our game.
I have played a lot of games and most of them have been educational. Some of them are teenpregnancy, learn the bones, super toaster, what would you do?, and katrina: tempest in crescent city. On everyone of those games you learn something educational and those are all on the internet. I really cant think of any video games I've played that are educational. I learned a lot from playing the games I have played like were the bones are in our body and the names of them, making decisions, what happens when your pregnant how not to get pregnant or how to get pregnant, and many other things. Yes I do think that games can create a learning atmosphere.
I so happy that we're finally starting our game. I can tell that it's going to be so much fun working with our teams,making the game,and all the funny things that will happen. My job in the group is codes. Alexis is Manger,Dustin is the artist, and Brittney does sounds. Our team name is "The Lean Mean Gaming Machines!" it's a funny name to laugh at. I think I'm doing really good so far. Our character in the game is Multiplication Man he goes around solving multiplication problems. Were all so excited about everything.
