Game Topics and Pressure

Gah, I need to do alot of stuff for our game. And I need help with codes and stuff. Google time! We're all under pressure to get our games done.

Our Code for our Flash Game

We need to add code for our scenes in Flash to make the objects move, and the scenes play in order. We are currently working on making a drag and drop game.

Some Changes to Our Game

 Kaylyn and I have many, many things to do and add to our game. We still have to draw many scenes and make some changes to our game. We are going to add digital music also. Our new game ideas only have some resemblance to our paper prototyped scenes.

The Principal's visit to our class

 The principal visited our class, and he told us about opportunites for this class, and how it can help us in the future. He asked who wants to take this class next year, unfortunately, there were only a couple people who want to take this class next year. Everyone else has problems getting enough credits, or there are scheduling conflicts. Mr. Lucas is going to try to clear this up, and he is also going to see if kids can be allowed to get certain math credits for being in this class.

Game Demo presentations

 I was horribly nervous today during presentations!! I actually froze up in the beginning, I couldn't speak! But in the end, it all worked out. Nick helped me with the buttons and stuff, and he ran the slides for me. THANK YOU NICK!!!! Unfortunately, Kaylyn didn't show up today. She had strep throat:(
 I have to make several changes to my game, starting with the drag-and-drop idea. I have to create a scene for that. Everything turned out pretty well, actually! Denise and Yvonne actually liked my idea! I'm hoping the rest of this game goes as well as the presentation did......

Switched around groups

 There was a huge mess about a week ago. Two people had to leave the class, due to scheduling problems. So, two teams were left with only one person. Needless to say, they weren't much of a "team" anymore. One person went to Nick's team and another person went to another team in our class. It didn't really affect me.. at all.. but it affected several teams and presons in this class.

List a new idea or concept (not just a "fact") you've learned about your game topic since you started this course. How did you come to learn this? What sources where helpful to you in gaining this understanding? What makes these news or research sources especially informative and trustworthy?

 I have learned many new concepts about my game since I started this course. A concept that I have decided to incorporate into our game is the adding of point values when the player picks the wrong foods, and subtracting points when the player pickes the right food. Also, the player will have to face consequences for picking the wrong food, such as running around a track. My Globaloria teacher suggested incorporating these concepts into our game, and we liked the ideas. Flash was really helpful, cause we learned how to use the trace tools, and Mr. Carroll has been helping us along the way. Mr. Carroll reviews our games, and the Flash tools is going to nelp us avoid copyright infringement.
