*Imagining Your Game*

     



    


       I am most excited about starting my game and seeing how it turns out and see if it will be as good as I plan. Another thing I look forward to is memorizing most of the codes for flash because with them memorized, life is alot easier. Without knowing which codes to use, you have to look them up and it wastes some of your time for creating your flash game. Hopefully, it will all turn out as good as I hope! :)
       For "Imagining Your Game," my class and I had to summarize what are game was about and how it was going to operate. We also wrote down one to two paragraphs of our game's objectives and purposes into flash in which we have to upload to our wiki in both FLA and SWF files. This is suppose to help us know what we need to work on when creating our very own game. 
   

Mini-Game

    







    In my Globaloria class, we have completed the mini-game assignment in which you were to make your own mini-game. In the mini-game, you had to do step by step instructions so at the end of the game, your bunny would be trying to get through a wolf and pizza in order to get a carrot.


    It was difficult to make the mini-game. It was only difficult because it was the classes' first time really using layers in flash. The codes are a bit different from the wiki too. I think the best part of this topic was learning how to move the bunny and other objects and creating "your very own game." I think the worst part of making the mini-game was naming the symbols, codes, layers, etc. I think this was the hardest because we were not use to having to name every little detail of something. All together, I think the mini-game activity was a learning experience for everyone and it helped prepare us for when we create our own game based on our social issue and our math concept.

Starting Flash: Scene 1

         

     For my globaloria game, my social issue in the game is Pet Safety. Monday, we started working with Flash. Flash is were we will create the game. I created my first scene Tuesday. I decided to try and create my first page of the game. Which will have a picture of a dog and cat, say Pet Safety inside a shot, and will eventually say PLAY and INFO in the two white boxes at the bottom of the image. In flash, we used different tools like the text, paint bucket, and pencil to create our designs. I used these tools and more to make my first scene of my game. By the end of making our games, we will have our full game in animation. I can't wait until we get started! Flash is not hard to do. It just takes effort. It sure helps when you memorize the key codes though!!!  

Why I am Passionate About My Social Issue

     I have chosen Pet Safety as my social issue. I am very passionate about Pet Safety because I want to become a veternarian in my future. I feel it is important for people to know how to treat pets safely and with care. That is why I want my game to be about Pet Safety. Hopefully, my game will be able to teach all different kinds of people how to take good care of their pet, what you need to do and how you can tell when your pet is not well, why vetenarians are important, etc. No matter who owns a pet, I think nobody has a right to have their pet in a hazardous, non-safe environments. My game will hopefully reduce this cause and teach people the right way to raise or own a pet.

Choosing A Topic

        I love animals so much! That is why I have chosen "Pet Safety" as my social issue in my game. I also had to choose a math concept for my game, so I chose "exponents" because many children have issues solving these. I think these links I have chosen for "Choosing A Topic" will help me in making my game. My links include intrnet sites I found that contained information for my social issue and math concept. I also found exponent games and pet safety/care games online. I need these links , so when I am creating my game and need facts, all I have to do is go to my wiki page or my blog home page and click on the link that I need for the topic. These links have information based on my social issue and my math concept. I think these links will be helpful because when I am in the process of creating my game, I don't have to spend extra time researching than   creating my new game. The links I have gathered are easier to search for because it only takes "a click of a button" to go to some interesting facts about my topics.
