We Need Work

We need to work on our spelling in our game demo. We also need to try and probably work on explaining things more. We are working on making one or two more levels. For our game we have thought about Our name and we don't know if we like it.

What We Learned

We learned that we need to start using spell check. Make more levels and work on getting codes for defense. We need to work more on describing our games in certain parts.We also need to work on more plays for the game.

Working in Flash

I like working in flash because It is fun to see something work that you coded. It is easy after you get the hang of it. It does challenge you if you get a hard code. It is also fun to make games that work, and that can teach people.The funniest thing I like about flash is all the ways you can make stuff.

Our Animation

This animation stands out to me because I like football and our game is about football.

Our Progress

I have only had one problem with my game so far. Everything else like the buttons, animation, scenes, and actionscript have gave me no problem with the game. I only had that one problem with getting my deffense to come straight after the running back. I look forward to being able to see my finished game working good with no errors. I also look forward to being able to see something work after you have coded it.

Adding our scenes

To show visual story telling we have a options scene so that you can pick what you wan't to be a cheerleader or football player just like in real life. We also will have them running the ball to and picking plays. One of the games that I played in playing to learn is th race to justice because it all started at his house this is a really good story telling game. Some games like war games have influnced my game because they all start with a story behind them. These games just fall into place with the story told.

Starting Our Game

I have learned that the different colors are going to be hard to match and make it look good. Once I started on my first scene I realized that it was going to be hard. I also asked my friend if he liked the colors I used, he said that it really didn't match. We are doing our game on football and fractions the colors are blue and purple. Your opponents colors are orange, and black. I also noticed that fractions and football are going to be hard to put together in a game, because football doesn't really use much fractions. We also have a lot of coding in our game.

Our Paper Prototype

The paper prototype has helped me think a lot about what we are going to do with our game. It has also helped me think about certain ideas that will make our game fun and learning. When we started out we thought it was going to be easy to make a game about football, but it is challenging. If it wasn't for the paper prototype I don't know what our game would look like. I will put the video when we get done.

How we've done

I am Billy Waldron and my partner is Chelsey Coleman. Our team name is "The West Virginia Rednecks." We are doing our game on percents. Percent is like when you go shopping you have to add taxes on whatever you buy. Our Genre is sports or action and our topic is math. Our class is in the stem community knowledge. We do not have a title for our game right yet but we are on it. We are doing our game on percents and the theme is going to be football and cheerleading. At the begining of our game you can pick if you want a cheerleader or a football player. That is how far we have gotten on our game so far!

One thing that I am excited about is working with flash again, and maybe winning the stem games compotition.

About The Minigame I Made

I play games in my free time sometimes, most of them are action games. I like these games because they give you an adreline rush sometimes. Games like racing because you get faster and pass people. This topic really got me back in the grove of coding and flash, but it really didn't give me a new perspective about games. It really wasn't really exciting and fun with learning

Our Topic

Hello my name is Billy. We have choosen to make our game about math. So my partner and I had thought about using the order of operations. Like please excuse my dear aunt sally method. We have also thought about using fractions, and cross multiplying. We choose these topics because they are some important things you need through out life.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

The Review

The genre that I am most interested in using is sports. There was learning and alot of fun in the game gravetee. You can use sports because there is a lot of people that like sports. I would play the game because I love sports. We could maybe make a super hero that is attracted to the wrong answer. The player has to help him with his problem, and cure him at the end. Maybe we could add a bonus game at the end.

Back to School

I would like to get deeper in to flash and learn more about the codes. I expect for this year to be a little bit easier on us because we know more about flash. For a math problem we where thinking about using decimal fractions. Hopefully we do good this year to. Its going to be hard to get back in the grove. Ready for the new year!

The End

Well it is time to go to the eighth grade. It was hard coding in flash, but we always had help from Mrs.Barker if we needed it. Our presentation went good the only comment that they had was to fix one question. Other than that our presentation went really well. One of the biggest problems we had was the hit test on the car. One of the easiest for us was the buttons. We also learned a lot about civics, and technology in the class. Well see you next year.

Almost The End

It was a little hard organizing our team page. First we had to go through sure all of the stuff and make sure it was under the right title and see what swf file goes where. Then after that we had to straighten it up and make it look good. About our game, we have left some stuff out not because we wanted to, but because we just forgot about it with all the other opinions that we got. We also put some different stuff in the game like the brick wall. When it comes to files saved on a jump drive I would say that we have a lot. Also on our game, and in flash everyone else and I have learned a lot about flash coding, civics, and working together. It was a great challenge learning how to work in flash.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:~THE_FOX_RACERS~

What We Wanted

I was really wanting to put a digital timer in our game, but it would just not work. Even my teacher tried to help me and she could not figure out what was wrong. We really didn't decide what to code or scrap we kinda just went along with it and if we liked the way it turned out we kept it. I would probably keep what we have done in our game, because I like what we have. I also think that our game is fun and educating, and that we do not need to do anything to it.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:~THE_FOX_RACERS~#GAME_ASSETS

Others Blogs

One blog that I really liked was Ethan's blog from Greenbriar East High School. I really liked his because it showed a lot of detail about public speaking. It was almost like you where public speaking when I read it.http://a-cavemancantdothis.blogspot.com/ Another blog that I liked was Breonnas from Greenbriar East High. It inspired some to try and help the environment the way she talked about it. I liked the way that she explained how her game works, and it really shows detail.http://breexbreexx.blogspot.com/

What we Teach

One of the most hardest things to teach in our game was our amendment. which is the seventh amendment. It stands for the right to a fair trial by a jury. The way we tought this in our game was through civic questions, and when you get to the court house they will teach about it in the case. All the way through the game you will have hints everywhwhere that helps you with the case, and civics. At times it was just so frustrating.

How I Feel

Lets use the health bill for an example. One person says its good to have another says that it is bad, the best way to find out about it would be to ask around and get information from people and the Internet. After that you use the knowledge that you have found and figure out which topic has the best ideas and persuade you the most. Don't forget what you think is best before you get other information. You can also look at the different news channels and learn from them about the health care bill here is a page that will help you decide.http://www.healthwikisource.com/

Comparing

I am comparing the super oil disaster squad game to their paper prototype. On their paperprototype they have the peace sign, but on their game they do not have it. Also their instructions button does not work. Their paperprototype is not as long as their game. They do mention chooseing characters in their game. They also mention the peace meter in their game to. The only problem is that they don't have as much on their game as they do on their paperprototype. Check it out for your self.http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/gehswiki/index.php/Team:PeaceKeepers

Someone elses

I think that the Whit House trivia game is a fun game from South Harrison High School because it lets you try over again instead of going back to the beginning. It is interesting because it tells you stuff about the government that I did not know about. Like i didn't know that the president could only serve 2 terms. I also didn't know that you had to get a green card to be a United States citizen. If you would like to learn stuff to go to their team page which is http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/shhswiki/index.php/Team:ABC. You will be able to learn alot about the United States.

The Most Fun

I think that we collabrated the most when we had the paperprotype. It may have been harder but that was when we got to know each other. We also figured out how to solve our problems faster so that we could get our work done. One problem was that we didn't know what to call our game. So that also was able to help me get to know her. Most of all the paperprototype really helped me see how my partner works.

It Depends on us

The goverment depends on us for the enviroment because we live in it. Another way that the goverment depends on us is that it needs us to help the community. Like what happened in Haiti there are doctors coming from everywhere wanting to help them. The hampton road doctors are beside the road helping people that need it. Thats what our game fucuses on it helps the community, because when you don't help your community looks bad. Our game teaches equity which makes stuff equal in the world. It is important that these duties are fulfilled if we don't our communties will fall apart, and everything will be out of order. Also if we don't our cities and goverment will look horrible. Research from http://articles.dailypress.com/2010-03-13/news/dp-local_haiti-docs_0314mar14_1_operation-smile-earthquake-hospital-ship-usns-comfort

How I Felt

My partner and I thought that our presentation went well but we did have a few concerns about the question we will be asking. We have learned alot from the game demo presentation. That we have to fucus on one law instead of different laws. We are starting to narrow the topics down to a couple little laws. They helped us by letting us take a little time to just look at it and observe it from a bigger view. Well we figured that civil law is used in every day life and that when you grow up you should know about it so that you know how to deal with a civil case. We are planning to research all of the civilcases and narrow them down to our amendent, then narrow them down to the one tha fits best with our game. If we had to change our game name we would probably change it to the race for justice.

Our Game

My is billy and my partners name is Kaitlyn we are creating a game called the Racing Pursuit our game shows you about how the community functions. One way that our game helps the community is that it shows you what you deal with through life. Also if you want to become a lawer this will let you see what kind of cases you will deal with.It is mainly going to be based on equity.

Copy Wriiting its Just Wrong

First copy write is illegal you should never do it. If you want to copy write you have to have the owners permission end of discussion. You can use there stuff just as long as you put it in your own words and don't copy and paste it. Like I said you can use there stuff if you put it in your own words some will let you copy and paste for educational reasons or research for school. You still need the owners permission to use there stuff if you copy and paste it. You also have public domain which is stuff that you are allow to copy, but you still have to give credit to the person who made it. You can only use a certain amount because it will be copy write if you use to much. You can find everything that you need to know if you just go to these web sites Copyright Kids , Cyberbee.

My Promise to the New Year

My promise to the new year is to finish my year in globaloria with an astonishing finish. I would like to get the highest place that I could. Another is that I would like to stop biting my nails because I have a really bad habit for that. My biggest is to accomplish in flash. I will know if I accomplish this if I get first place.
