What I Accomplished

I would like to accomplish this week is to try to get all of scenes done and ready to put actions in. I think Sarah and I can do that I don't think its going to be hard since we are already done drawing. But there is one thing that we can't get, its when you get the problem right or wrong we don't know how to put that in there. Because if you get the problem right we don't want a sceen that says you lose. So that is what we are going to work on today in class and try to get it right. I asked Sarah if she could help me on how to add actions and things and then she said that she really didn't get it but, by the end of the class we both will now how to add them. I hope that Sarah and I can start finding different sounds and seeing which one we like and try to add them but I don't know what the teacher have planned for us yet. I think that Sarah and I are getting along great in class and out of class also. We work together even though we say things to each other that we don't mean, we are best friends and nothing can change that. This one slide from our game demo : Soup Can.

assembling our demo

The last two days we have been assembling our game demo. Sarah and I have accomplished a lot with the game, all we need to finish is the actions to go slide to slide and things, the sound, and the slides then I think we will be done. I really haven't accomplished anything because I already know how to draw in Flash and I think Sarah has got that down too. What I really need to accomplish is how to make actions in the game because that is something that I really need to work on. Well, there are a lot of things that are easy to do. Like the learning log that we do and things like the blogs that we do I think that is easy, and also drawing in Flash. But, I think that adding actions is hard and I think that adding sounds will be hard for Sarah and I to do. Sarah might know more about how to add actions and sounds but I don't and I hope she will show me how to add them to the game. Yes, I think that Sarah and I are contributing equally to this. Because we are working in Flash on her computer and if we need to look for something like a code then I would look for it and tell her what it would be and we help each other out when we need it. The plans that I have for the rest of the week is that Sarah and I will get more done with the game and I can get better at adding actions. I know that the week is almost over but I would like to at least get a little bit better before this class is over.

Working Flash

The past two weeks of working in Flash has been very confusing and stressful on everyone. I didn't get a chance to finish my skeleton because we never have time to finish mine. I have learned over a few days that you can't make things up that you missed because you had to leave school. And I'm most confined doing the drawing in Flash. And I think the most difficult thing that I had to do is make an object move. Because you have to have a code for it and it has to be right or then you would be " up the lake without a boat". And I always forget the codes that you have to use for them. I haven't gotten a chance to finish my skeleton so I have been watching and helping Sarah do hers. It has been a hard few day now. Everyone is stressed out from all this. And when Mrs. Forniash isn't here we have another teacher that doesn't know what to do so, we are messed up with it. And we are getting close to start our game and we need to have learned all these things. Lets just say that the past few days haven't been so good for us. But, it is still and always will be a learning progress.

Adding Sound

The importance of sound to a game is that it can help the player think better. And also it makes the game better because how many game have you made that doesn't have sound on it? I can't really think of a game that great sound on it right now. I think that adding sound to our game well be fun because well we get to pick what kind of sound or music we want for the player to listen to while they will be playing the game. And it will just be all out fun. It will make all the of the games better with the sound on them. Because, it just makes the game that you are playing better and more joy full to play. How many games have you played that the sound sucked or it didn't have any? For me I like a good sound and it have to have a sound for me to play better at the game. That's why Sarah and I will found one of the best sounds that we can found. To me if there is a good beat that you can listen to then I can do and go faster and what I'm doing. For others they can't have a lot of noise well they do things. It all depends on what kind of person you are. And that's why we will be making a MUTE button that you can push if you don't want any sound.

Skeleton

I thought the live session with Meredith was very interesting. I learned a lot more things after it. It took a little bit for me to really get it but, after doing in it on Wednesday I really learned a lot. I'm very thankful that we have Meredith and our teacher ( Mrs. Forniash), because if we didn't then we might not be doing so well with this game of ours. But, on Thursday I had to leave school at one p.m. to go to a track meet in Weslyon so that having that said I had to miss the class and I didn't get a chance to finish my skeleton either. I don't know what I'm going to do to get it finished i hope I can finish it so I can learn more about Flash and how to make a full hands on.

Drawing In Flash 2

So far I haven't learned anything other than that our teacher doesn't take our paper prototyping papers home with her. Our game is going very well and I hope it stays that way also. Our group is getting along okay but we still disagree on some things, but we get though them easier. I think this game is going very well for evryone and i hope they also do great on they game and i hope people like playing them too. I think everyone is having a great time with their game. I hope everything is going to be okay at the end for everyone.

Drawing in Flash

We have been drawing in Flash, today is our second day. I have been helping on the scenes that we have to do. It can get to the point where you just want to yell at your computer like yesterday Sarah and I had some problems trying to put text in the middle of circles. And people not listing, not trying, or not even caring about this. But other than most things in this process I have been fine with everything that has happened. One person is practice in Flash while the other is working on the game. Its still a learning thing for everyone and its going to get better. And after this is all over then hopefully everyone in the class could make their own game in Flash if they wanted to.
