Carla Deem

Today I put make-up on Carla Deem. She never wears makeup, which made it really fun. I think I might do It like everyday now, If she'll let me. Maybe I can talk her into actually start wearing it a lot. Makeup makes everything better. I'll get that in her head on day. If I could ever get her to care. haha

Game

Oh my gosh, I am uber excited about doing my presentaion Tuesday! Like, I really can not wait. I almost cant fall asleep at night because I'm so excited about it. That day is going to be great! Its not just the presentations either, its this class. This class makes my entire day better. I think it will help me with EVERYTHING I do for the rest of my life. Everyone needs to know how to blog, keep up with a learning log, make a game, and deal with an organizaion constantly telling you that you're doing everything wrong. Then you should love to start it all over and do it different, again! I would love to do that and take this class every year. Its amazingggggggg! :)

Developing Your Primary Game Scene

My team and I have decided to use Adding Buttons

off flash for our game. We're going to use it to switch from scene to scene. We're also going to use it to let them click a button for more imformation to pop up if they'd like to know more. This will help people who play our game learn more about animal crulety. It will also help us save space on our scenes.

Assembling your demo

I think we have all been taught a lot about our topic but we all loved animals to begin with. We ma have learned a little bit about the topic but we already knew a lot so it wasn't something we didn't know about. If I could talk to a wiki maker, I would tell them to add more effects and pictures explaining what it is they're talking about. We're high schoolers, most of us learn better that way. I think I have taken learning into my own hands by reading what the wiki tells us. This class is pretty much a selflearning class in its self. I can read into what we are working on in then wiki.

Adding sound

We plan to use sound to tell the person what to do and for effects. The sound will tell them step by step what to do and what their goal is. The effects will make a noise for is you're right and a different if you're wrong. It will also have the sounds for the scene. It will help the players know exactly what they're doing. It will also tell add simple effects to make the game more interesting.

Adding Input I

So far this class is pretty interesting. It is very hard to learn but yet so neat once you get the hang of it. Flash is pretty cool because we can actually drawl out games out. It takes lots of work and a long time to do something so simple as a button. I know once we are finished with our game though, It will be so neat. I also don't like working on flash because it is so hard to drawl using a mouse. I do not like how time consuming it is either. I'm get frustrated very easily. All together, it's not too bad though.

Adding Animation

This video stands out to me because it talks about animal cruelty and how bad it is. It also shows precious animals.

Adding buttons

This site is useful to us because it is about fighting animal crulety as well as our game is. It explains a lot about how it is not right to be crule to animals. I love this site because they are actually doing something to try and stop animals from being hurt. The site tells about how you can join them in stopping it also. If you love animals as much as us, help to stop it is always needed. You can go to this link and learn more about it if you're interested. Thank You(:.

Adding scenes

While ading a scene, we decided to use real life-like animals being abused and they choose if they think it is wrong or not. Playing 'saving the haitians' taught me a lot because of how it is real like problems. Other games have inspired us to focus on our game teaching the children with them having fun and not realizing they are learning.

Drawing a scene

I have actually been taught a lot in this class. I have benn taught about how to use flash, how to blog, and a lot about computer design. Actualy drawing a scene on the flash is really interesting. We have to know about how to do it to be in this class. Our teacher teaches us a lot and globaloria goes through it step-by-step. It is our class website, so I would say they aren't teaching us wrong.

Imagining my game

When I imagine our game I think we are creating our game for five to twelve year olds. They will be able to choose what is wrong and right about the animals in the picture. Our game will teach them that animal crulity is wrong. Our game happens at a persons house who is crule to animals. It's going to be modern day. It will show them that even in our day in time, it isn't right to hurt animals. It makes them choose what is wrong about the picture. Like what is going to hurt the animal. It helps them learn because when they choose whaat is wrong they get rewarded. They use that when they find out what is wrong that they shouldn't do it. It helps them have fun and not even realize they are learning.

Team

When planning our game I became Content expert,Information Architect,and Content Developer/Writer. I am good at these jobs because I am good with content,research, and writing.
I am looking forward to seeing what my team can come up with. I also am interested on how good we do and how fast we get done. We have to learn to get along and choose things together. We are not going to argue about what wwe're doing. We are going to just vote on what we want.

mini game blog

I play some games in my free time but not a lot. Most of the time I have to much other things to do. When I do have time I play xbox games. They are so fun and addicting. My favorite one is Call Of Duty,natzi zombi's. Once I start playing it, I cant stop. I could literally play it for days if I had time. This topix has taught me to see games a lot differently because it takes so much to make a thing do something little. It takes a lot of knowledge and tons of time to make even the simplest game. I can say I have been noticing the little details in my video games and wondering what it takes them to make the game do that since I started the mini game project.

Progression

Progression with the mini game project is going swell. I've got the carrot moving, and bouncing off the rabbit. Everything works until it comes to putting the score on the game. Then it freezes. My biggest frustration with this class is when the coding is wrong, and it won't let anything work.

Genre i am most interested in using for my game.

        Adventure genre is the most interesting to me. The way you have never know whats next is exciting. Having fast reflexes is a big thing in playing these types of games. For most people that don't have fast reflexes, it drives them crazy that they cant do it. Which will make most of them keep playing it until they get it down. Most of the time that is what makes a game popular.
       I am doing my game on animals. To make a awesome game that teaches whoever plays it not to hurt animals would be a great thing. If it saves at least one animal then the time spend on it will be worth it. Im not making the game to win. I am making it to teach people, in hope that they will stop hurting/killing animals. I must admite, it wouldnt hurt to win either though. :)

My topic

Hi, I'm Katelyne.
     My topic for my gaming is about svaing animals from being abused or killed. I choose this topic because i love animals and i dislike to see them hurt or killed. If my game can save animals it would be amazing. I think the links will help me out some what on the research for my game. Although the thing i will most likely use most is google, im sure the other wont hurt. Since i will be useing alot of research, ill need all the help i can get. This is why i like the links and will most likely use them alot. So thank you very much for the links, im sure they'll come in use.

Flash

First you add each object to the library. Then you can delete the rest of the items from it. If you need them again, they will be avaiable in the library.  Then, you can play around with it a little bit so that you can get used to it.  The mini-game project should help us out a lot on making our game.

blogging

The blogging video was quite weird. but it taught me how to keep safe. It also told her to keep my personal things off the internet. The video showed me things to blog about and how to blog about it. It was a very good video. Anyone who gets on the internet need to see it about safty. The internet can be a very bad place if you allow it to. So dont allow it to.

Break

My break wasn't to bad other then i was sick most of it. I pretty much spent it with my family and boyfriend. I wish it would have been as long as last years break but it didn't happen. I loved Christmas and all the snow. My favorite part about break was New Years Eve. I spent it with my oh so lovely boyfriend of course. I'm hoping and praying this year is a lot better then last. Ahh, its 2011.. time for things to change.
