This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Interviews

This week we had interviews. In the interviews we had to recreate two games.  I think my interview went well. I made the two games and they acually worked. Next week we are doing our final game presentations. I;m so nerves. Yesterday we had to get into groups and create a game. It had to be about a  lynx and a snow shoe rabbit. I hope we improved from the last game we did with a lynx and hare. Hope i do good in the presentation. Wish me luck.

The contest is over

The contest is finally over. I got my game finished and turned in on time. Unfortunately though a lot of people didn't finish their games. It took me a while to get the png. uploaded but finally I think I did it right. I really hope I do decent in the contest. I also wonder when we get the results. Oh well I guess I'll find out.

end of games

This week we had to have are games done by friday. On friday we have to upload them. I finished my game but alot of people in my class never even came close. I wish them the best of luck. In just my class there were three girls who decided to do their game on animals. Two on safty and one on shelters. As far as i know everyone else is doing completley differant thing from everyone else. I can't wait to see who will win the stem contest.

getting the game finished

This week I sort of finished my game. All the scenes are finished, working, and put together into one frame. Now I have to go back and clean the scenes up. After that I'm going to check the spelling using microsoft word. Then I should be completely finished with my game. In the end I did change afew things instead of making some of te question mutiple choice I made them more fun so kids would want to play it. Something else my game does teach kids not to abuse animals or abandon them because it shows them what all has to happen in order to get that animal into a new home.                                                                   This is what happens                                                                                          to those less fortunate and those been abandoned.

This week we did game demos. I'm so scared I know I'll mess up. We have to tell them what our games about and what all we've done this year. I'm up now be back in a minute. I finished my presintation they said it was a good idea but i need to add the teaching kids how to be nice to animals. I finished my game but am willing to go back. If you have any ideas please speak freeley because im stumped.

This week we have been preparing for our game demos. I got everything uploaded and ready. But found out the internet wasn't working on presintation day. Now we have to rescedual again. I hope Ido well if we ever get to do it. Wish me luck.

My game so far

So far my game is going great. I'm so close to finishing but the truth is I don't want to. Now that I know what I'm doing globaloria is really fun and I can't belaive I went from knowing nothing about computers to knowing more than I could ever imagine. Heres my game so far.

Week 3/7/11

This week I worked on getting scene12 to work on my game. The point of this scene is to answer a question to get the  dog medical help. What you do is catch all the bones with the correct answer to the question on it. I ran into trouble on that one though  I can't get to go to the next scene yet. I quess I'll get it right eventually. Wish me luck.

This week we worked on our game demo. We have to make it so the people who do globaloria to get a better understanding of how our game is going to work. We put together a flash file with questions from our team page and what we've done so far on our game. This is what I have so far.

So far on my flash file I have up to thirteen scenes linked together. We also got interviews this week for globaloria. After the interviews they came intjo our globaloria class and help us with scenes. They also answered some of our questions about flash.

Adding input 2: mouse

Adding  
Click and drag was kind of fun but it was probaley the hardest thing i've ever done. It took a total of four days to complete. But I finally did it with a little help from my teacher.

Adding sound

Adding sound to my game was really simple. It took some effort though to find the right sound. So far I only have sound on my first scene. Soon though I'm going to try to get sound on multiple senes.

Click and drag

This week we worked on click and drag. Its were you are able to move something in your game with your mouse. So far I have the code to be able to click and drag an object. Now i'm trying to get the object to go to the next page when it hits the other object. So far I've had no luck.  

This week in globaloria I acomplished alot. I got five scenes linked together and got all my buttons on those scenes working so far. I didn't have much trouble til I got to the drag and drop. I can't find the code. I can drag it but thats it. I want to be able to drag it hit a character and go too the next scene.

input

Getting the arrows to work in my game was difficult because it took a while to get all instence names right. I also had to find all these codes. I eventually got it though.

adding button

 
Adding color to a button was slightley difficult until I got the hang of it. I watched a few videos about five times each and finally understood what to do. The really hard part was when you had to make the buttons link to another page when you hit it. Finally I got it though with help of my teacher and tutorials. I  had messed everything up and it took about thirty minutes to fix but I finally did it.

Drawing a scene

Drawing a scene wasn't as difficult as it looked. All I had to do was draw my background then add something moving on it. Drawing a scene took me three days to do. In my drawing a scene the scene shows you that you got a question right. Then there is a moving bone which add some anamation to my scene.
