Assembling Your Demo

     I think I have learned more about my game topic in the process of making my demo because it allowed me to relate my questions to my game because on each scene that I made, I put something from my game on there. I think I have learned more about my topic because this project allowed me to really think about what my game is really about.
     I would suggest for journalists, website content-writers, Wikipedia authors or other "knowledge producers to update their information because most sites I looked at had articles or facts that are not up-to-date and can sometimes cause you to have false information. I think this would help my learning-process because it will give me new information to consider while making my game.
     I think I have taken the process of learning into my own hands when I need a new flash code that I can't find. When I can't find the flash code that I need, I usually try to combine codes into one or many other options and experiment on them to see if they work or not. If they don't work, I try another way to make a code. If they would work, I would share it with my teacher and others incase they might need it to. I can improve my self-learning skills by learning more codes and what they do so I could try to make more combinations.

Game Demo & Pitch

     Today, I finished creating my demo file for my game. It took me about two weeks but I finally got it done! :) I made it by using the Game Demo & Pitch questions and my answers from my team page. I also made an example of my Gameplay. I put next and back buttons in my scenes that I made work with codes in flash.
     We had to create a Demo file because we are going to present it to the Globaloria people in New York. On the day we have to present it, we have to dress-up. I'm so nervous!

Creating Thank-You Cards

     Today, in Globaloria class, we created thank-you cards for the donors who donated money to our pen tablet fund. In order to get new pen tablets for our class, we made an online fund where people could go to and donate money. After a couple weeks, we reached our goal and have two brand new pen tablets for our class now!
 

Thank-you to all of the donors!!!!!

Adding Input II: Mouse

This is my Adding Input II: Mouse .swf file that I created.





This is a .swf file created by the team "Animal lovers." I think this file represents "Adding Input II: Mouse" because you have to drag the medicine to the dog and then it responds by going to another scene.

Researcher Project

     On Monday and Tuesday of this week, my class had two globaloria researchers come to our school and give each of us individual interviews. The interviews were to see what we were doing in class and what we know about Globaloria. Both of them also came to our Globaloria class on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday, we were assigned a project by the two researchers. The project was based on a story of a population of lynx and hares. Our assignment was to create a mini-game that represented the story with a small group of people from our class.

Adding Sound



I plan to use sound in my buttons when you click them in my game. I also hope to use a wind blowing sound for my windows in my hazardous house scenes. I think sound will enhance the game play and learning experience of my game because it will make my game more exciting and can let the player get a more mental description of my game and what it's about.

Adding Input I: Keyboard



This is my Adding Input I: Keyboard flash file that I created.

     So far, the other students and myself in my globaloria class have come a long way in flash. We started out from just painting objects to adding new codes, layers, and scenes. I like working in flash because I feel that I can express myself in my art that I create for my game. I also like working with flash because I think it is fun to animate my drawings and add sounds. Everytime I design more scenes, I feel like making a game isn't that hard. I couldn't do all of this stuff without my globaloria teacher though because she helps me when codes I put in don't work or with anything else that I have trouble in in globaloria class.
