Robbys wondering minds

the end has came and this is what i have learned

2010-01-19T17:41:00.000-08:00

Well over the weeks that I have been taking this class, I have learned to do flash and the coding that corespond with the program. Doing a game on civics was a great idea but just not my cup of tea. I do not like tea. I have learned the amendments and how they effect the people in are country. By doing the game with the court cases I was able to see them in action and what was some controversy with the amendment.

A New Idea

2009-12-04T09:41:00.000-08:00

Well i decided to make a different game. my las game was not educational but fully functional. now i am making a snake game. i just got started on the game to day, so i do not know how hard it will be yet. well if u want to play my first game than it s on the wikki. the snake game will be on the bill process and u will have to collect the food in order according to the bill.

Bill Tower Defense Week 2

2009-11-13T08:29:00.000-08:00

Ok now i have the coding for the creeps done and now have it to where I can place a tower. A creep is the bill trailing in the map. Well I have not done any research for this game yet but I have got a lot of coding done but there still is a lot of coding left.

Bill Tower Processing Defense

2009-11-09T08:41:00.000-08:00

Our Game will be teaching people the USA's bill process it teaches u each step the bill takes in becoming a law. I am making head way. Today i am starting on the way-points. Way-points are the path something follows. In are case the bill will be following the path. I should have little more done by now but i am making head way.

Adding Interaction

2009-10-27T10:57:00.000-07:00

Interaction is the soul of a game. Tf u can not interact with a chareter in the game than what is the point it would not be a game it would be a boring screen with moving objects on it. I made whitey move in our game. We only aloud him to move up and down (Y- axis). doing the interaction was simple. You copy the code than inter the name of the object u want to move.

Bill Processing Defense

2009-10-27T09:43:00.000-07:00

Bill Processing Defense is the name of are new game that will teach people the bill process. The game will in a tower defense format. There will be a pop up box at the bottom that tells what type of bill and what process the bill is in. The person playing the game will have to choses the correct tower to process the bill on the level. There will be one level that is continuous. before the game starts a screen will tell u about the processes.

Adding the pain in the sound

2009-10-23T09:19:00.000-07:00

Sound is hard to add. well adding the sound and making it work with the game is the hard part. I probably spent 3-4 days on adding sound. A game without sound would be boring and bleak. No music in a game is like having a computer without a mouse. The game "BattleField Bad Company" is a great example. When u would get out of a vehicle the music would still be playing and u could change the songs. This it the same way with Grand Theft Auto-San Andreas. half the fun was listening to the different radio stations on the game. My favorite was "DCT" it played BILLY IDOLE, DEF LEPPEARD and TOM PETTY!

Finding sites

2009-10-20T08:55:00.000-07:00

Today I found ( www.flu.gov )this web site has information on well the flu. It gives u information on vaccinations, prevention, and treatment. This will help us because our game has a section in the game that tell about the flu. We will be telling people about how to prevent and what are government does to prevent the flu from spreading and casing epidemics.

Adding Animation

2009-10-19T08:43:00.000-07:00

Animating your game makes it fun and more interactive. With animation u can make the object that is animated move in any direction that you want it to. I can not think of a game write off the top of my head. You can use animation to make a object move in the game that u have to get or avoid. HERE IS A ANIMATION VIDEO: http://www.graspr.com/videos/Create-a-Flash-animation-in-Illustrator-and-edit-it-in-Flash-CS3

Civics and our game.

2009-10-12T08:44:00.000-07:00

Our game topic is self cleanliness. We plan on relating are game to civics by telling about government health problems and heath care. A player will learn civics because as u play it will give u facts and (did u knows?) throughout the game. We are going to talk about government healthcare, disease issues, and government health problems. Wells ours will talk about a function of government especially our government. It does this by telling what and how the government runs health care.

Reseraching

2009-10-09T09:41:00.000-07:00

Today we researched on the topics of Hand washing, swine flu, E. Coil, and common cold. Than we went through and highlighted specific parts in the papers that will be key points to the game. I learned that if u handle food u should wash your hands under hot water water and hand washing soap for 20 seconds than rinse until soap is gone.

Adding Navigation

2009-10-09T09:28:00.000-07:00

Well once again coding is not fun but it has its purpose. The coding for navigation was hard. It is hard to keep your buttons separated. they are just easy to get confused. Once u get the navigation done it allows for a better organized game. I chose the video because it is entertaining and it is a good way to get kids to wash there hands.

Drawing in flash

2009-10-09T09:11:00.000-07:00

My groups game is about self cleanliness. I have found that the games coding is going to be harder that what i suspected. well I have not searched for a post on this topic. but we did get information on the content that is going to be in the game as educational stuff. We will not be applying civics to are game. Whis is because are game would not incorporate civics very well.

Planning Our Game

2009-09-25T09:37:00.000-07:00

My role in the game will be the coding. I like to work with programs and i have allot of patients for stuff like that. Yes I wanted to do a tower defenses game but i resend and we are now doing a side scrolling game. I am looking forward to just starting the game. The inspiration of are game was we just made it up. The 3 of us just thought of good things and by doing that we came up with clean the pipes. I am adding a picture of are team to my blog.

Paper Prototyping ???

2009-09-18T09:38:00.000-07:00

What i do not like about it is how u have to draw every thing twice Before you go to make the movie. You should Be able to skip the first step. I do like how paper prototyping gets every one in the group on the same page. This is a good step in the game making process and it can mke everyone know what there role is in the game making process.

Excited To Start Something New

2009-09-15T09:38:00.000-07:00

I am excited in the actual game making process. But i am most excited over imagining the product that could come from the game. I have all these ideas that i want to put in to the game. I want to see how it will all come together at the end of the game making process. I also can not what to start on the game. My game is on bacteria it is going to be allot like a tower defense game. but educational too. it will tell u what each type of bacteria that will aper in the game.

Playing to learn

2009-09-11T08:54:00.000-07:00

I played several games. One of the games that stuck out to me was stop disaster. This game was educational and fun at the same time. You had to stop a tsunami form hitting a settlement. As u played, the game told u what and how each thing u buy how it helps with stopping the tsunami. I did not like how the game was set up it was hard to move from place to place on the game. Here is the link to the game i played. http://www.stopdisastersgame.org/en/playgame.html

Mini Game Thoughts

2009-09-11T08:37:00.000-07:00

The mini game was not too difficult because we had step by step directions. The hardest part for me was getting the score to work. Well it was cool how you are able to change and make stuff move how you want. Like how i changed the background color of mine. The worst part had to be the coding. I have a felling that I will be saying that this hole class. Here is the link to my game.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/rtcwiki/images/0/00/Brandon.Rminigamepractice.swf

Class room saftey

2009-09-02T09:36:00.000-07:00

classroom rules are very important when trying to maintain a safe classroom. In our class we have many different rules that allow us to stay safe. like no open container drinks. this is to proved safety. For if we were to spill our drink on something it could caused us to get shocked. and if we were to spill something on the computer we are too unplug it as soon as possible.

2009-09-01T08:38:00.000-07:00
