Drawing a Scene

For my Drawing a Scene assignment I used my Main Menu scene because the clouds will be moving in the backround.

Questions Video

Doing the video about the questions was easy, but making the answers to the questions were kind of hard. I messed up a few times during the filming of the video.

  The Big Idea: Describe your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn? My game concept is order of operations. I want my players to learn the how to do order of operations  because sometimes it has adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing all in one. It is more advanced and it will trick you.

 

  Making Decisions as a Team: How did your individual ideas from "Imagining Your Game" come together for your team game topic? How did your team decide the topic? I am the only person in my team so it was easy to come up with a game topic. The two reasons I chose it was because there aren’t very many games about trees so I thought it make it unique, and because I think conserving trees is important.

  Roles & Responsibilities: Tell us more about your team process. Please each talk about your specific roles, and how you work together. I am the only person on my team so I have to do everything on my own, but with a little help from my teacher and classmates. Making the game by myself will be fun and will teach me to have more responsibility.

  Research: What kind of research went into the way you will express the game topic?  Some of the things I researched are reasons for deforestation, the forest fires that were in California, tropical rainforests, and national parks. I researched these things because I will be putting facts into my game, so they will come in handy.

  The User Experience: Explain the game play. What actions does the player take in the game? Has this changed since you first started planning your game? Why? In my game, you have to get the squirrel through a maze and to a place that has mulch place so you can answer a math problem; I have made a few changes in my game since I started planning it. The player was originally going to be a water droplet but now it’s a squirrel, and I wasn’t going to add facts into my game, but now I am.   

 

  Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources? I think the videos are a good resource because it teaches me things that I probably never would have been able to figure out on my own. My teacher has also been really helpful while I make my game and research things for my game. I don’t think it was very difficult to research information for my game because I just search for things that I wonder about.

Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty? The mini-game was really difficult because we haven’t had any experience with flash before, but I still tried best to complete it. Like I said before, my teacher is a big help throughout all our assignments, and she helped me to accomplish the mini-game.

Thanksgiving Break

     On thanksgiving break I went to New York City. We went to Dylan's Candy Store which is three stories, the NBA Store, the M&M Store, the Plaza Hotel, the Disney Store, the American Eagle Store, and Times Square. When we got back from New York we went to North Carolina. We saw an NBA game, Charlotte Bobcats vs Houston Rockets. At the game I saw Michael Jordan and Jordan Hill. Jordan Hill is from U of A, which is the college I'm going to. I had really great seats. I was onlky about 25 seats above the court! My brother and my cousin got us on the big screen by getting up dancing! It was really fun.

Planning My Game

    My team is called the burning ducks. There is no one else in my team besides me. I am not very far into making my game on flash. Flash is very interesting to me because doing all the coding makes me seem smarter than I really I am. I'm really looking forward to finishing and playing my game!

This is my team ppicture

Collision Detection

    Doing the collision detection was really fun. The first time I did it, it made me feel good because I didn't really understand all the coding, but I got it right anyway. Another thing I like about the collision detection is making the one of the shapes move with the keyboard. I will be in my game, so I'm glad we learned how to do it.

Globaloria Class

   I think our globaloria class is really fun. It is the class I look forward to the most during the day because I get to draw a lot and talk to my friends. It's also my favorite class because we get to do a lot of things and make a lot of things. The most fun thing to do so far was to make the mini-game and making the paper prototype. So far it's been a really good year for me in globaloria!!   o<[:)>  <---it's santa!!

My Paper Prototype

Making the paper prototype is really fun. I like to draw, so drawing a bunch of scenes as an assignment is fine with me. The hardest scenes to make are levels 1, 2, and 3. My levels are going to be mazes, so it was kind of hard to come up with them. I am almost done with my paper prototype, I need no more than seven scenes to make. I'm excited to make the video!

Imagining My Game

Imagining My Game

My game is going to take place in a maze. Before you get to the end, you have to go to every single mulched area/park, answer a math question, then plant a tree. Once you have done that, the gate to the exit will open. Then you will continue to the next level.

Mini-game

I think the mini-game is really fun to make, even though all of the coding can be a little complicated to follow. Before I started the mini-game, I was really interested on how to make things move, appear, and disappear.

The Importance of Internet Safety

When you are on the internet, you should never post your last name, IM name,  phone number, age, email address, your real address, or anything else that is personal. You never know who is looking at your posts. People can trick you about who you they really are.

Playing to Learn

The game Learn the Bones is a good game. The game was very clear on what to do. It is a good game to play because it helps you learn the names of the bones while having fun.

Math Concept and Social Issue

My math concept is the order of operations. I chose order of operations because I like how it works and I like sloving it  My social issue is about logging. I chose looging because a lot of trees get cut down in West Virginia. I think it's a good to put these to ideas together because the order of operations is a good way to learn how to add, subtract,multiply, and divide. Logging is important because it takes away animals homes and trees give us oxygen.
