Adding Sound.....

Our Blog for today says, How do I plan to use sound in my game? And How will it help enhance the game play and learning experience of my game?   I plan to use sound to help people who are playing my my game, and keep them unbored.  It will help to enhance my game, because it will help to entertain the viewers who play my game.

Adding Input Mouse....

     Our topic for today, says to find a .swf file that we like from another Globaloria team in your Knowledge Community and embed it on our blog.  We are blogging about Input Mouse.  Also to be sure to properly credit the team or user who created the .swf by naming them and hyperlinking back to their page.  I used Faith's Game Demo for my example.  I think her game will be cool.  She is in a team with Summer also. Their team name is The Fantastic Faith's! The video at the bottom is Faith and Summer's Game Demo.

Adding Input Keyboard..

    Welp, today is Friday so it's time to make a new blog!  Our topic says to Reflect on the class so far. And do I like working in flash. Why or why not.   I really enjoy my Globaloria class, although it gets challenging lots of times.  I do enjoy working in flash, because I think it is fun making different types of animation and experiencing what it will be like in the process of making my game!  My partner and I work together and share the work to get finished faster.  I like Globaloria class alot

Adding Animation..

     Welp, It's Friday,a.k.a best day of the week!  And It's also blogging day!  This week we have been doing adding a scene!  We praticed by Mr.Lester standing in the front of the class and showing us step by step how to make our own.  By the time we got finished most of us new how to make animations our self.  I find Adding A Scene very interesting and intertaining!   I think it is one of the coolest parts so far! I think this animation is really cool because, I like to play soccer at home.  I hope my animation is as good as this one!

Adding Scenes....

Example>
     Our blog says to explore our Knowledge Community and find a research link you find helpful from another student's blog. Write a post explaining why this is a useful resource, link back to the blog of the student who originally posted it, and add the link to your blogroll. If you can't find anything of use from your peers' blogrolls, do some research and suggest a new resource that you found on your own.  The link i find interesting is Kaitlyn's link on here blogger.  I think this link is helpful because it is a game that relates to some of our game topics.

Progress in my game..



     At this point in my game, I am still making all my scenes!  My partner and I have found that working together and helping eachother is way better than doing everything on our own.  I struggle with drawing the key frams in my game and also drawing the clothes and accessories that is included in our game.  I think I succed in making my scenes look like my paperprototype, after a long time of working on it.  Using flash is kinda confusing but I guess I'll get it figured out!  I look forward to getting my game done and seeing if it has success!  I hope that both me and my partner is satisfied with our game!  Welp thanks for reading my blog entry! :)

Adding A Scene




So this is another blog because it's friday!  We have been working on adding scenes to our game and my partner and I have been doing really good with it.  I think  games that help me have a better understanding  would be cool math games!  I think we willl have success, in creating our game!  Again our game is about decimals, percent, and taxes, it is called "Shopping With decimals, percent, and taxes"!  My favorite part of our game would probaly have to be the Mall part! :D  I have been working on fixing the directions so that it will be easy to understand for everyone. I have played games that relate to our topic on websites such as y8 and coolmath! I hope you have enjoyed my blog!

Drawing a Scene

     Hi bloggers! Our topic for this blog is under the catorgey Drawing a Scene! Our challenge is to list a new idea or concept we have learned about our game topic since we started this.  And how did we come to learn this. Also what sources helped us to gain more understanding.  And what makes the information trustworthy.  Throughout this game process, me and my partner have learned alot about our topic.   Until you really start making the game you don't really get the full understanding of what it takes to make a game.  Alyson and I learned more information by using websites like google, wikipedia, ask, etc., to learn more about our theme! Thank you all for reading my blog bloggers! :)

Paper Prototyping

     Paper Prototyping, has helped me A LOT!! It has taught me how to plan out my game in a fun way.  My partner Alyson and I shared the work, like one of us would do one page and like the other would do the next page.  I really enjoyed working on paper prototyping!  Even though it got kinda frustating at times, but it was LOTS of fun and I really enjoyed it!  I can't wait to start making my game! This has caused me to change afew things in our game and made me think of more ideas to come up with for our game.  I feel that paper prototyping has helped everyone in our class. Also, made us have a new prosective of our game! I love Globaloria!

Imagining My Game.....

     Our game is going to be about shopping it will be based on the topic of shopping!  It will mostly teach you about taxes, percentage, and decimals.   Our game idea is to, have a game that will entertain yet learn.  The  genres of our game will be  adventure and stragey.  I think our game will be educational and fun!  I think that me and my partner will have lots of fun working to create our game!  My partner and I are called the Amazing A's, because both of our names start with an A!  We will work good together and try our hardest to successed.  The game will work by us taking our time to make sure every aspect of our game will work successully!  Our game will fit our personality because shopping is one of our favorite things!  I love Globaloria and I hope that everyone in my class will succed and I think that they will!  I hope that my game will be cool and everyone will like it to!  I am mostly excited about getting my game finished, so I can see how it works.

Free Time!

     Welp, it's a Friday so that means another blog and another blog topic. In this blog I will tell you what type of games I play in my free time. So here it is...  In my free time,what free time I have, I play games like on my wii and my laptop!  Usally I play games like, racing or  a Wii Fit game like that.  I think that racing is an very fun and intertaining game!  The Wii Fit game can help  you exercise, besides setting at the computer all day. These games doesn't effect the was perspective I have about my game design.  It doesn't affect this because I think that a racing game or a Wii Fit game would be way too hard to accomplish than the game that my partner and I are going to do.  I hope to create a whole entire game with my partners help!  I think that creating a whole game would be challening but awesome!

What type of Game I would like to make..

In Globaloria, I would like to create games that has the genre of action. My last assignment was to play games that other students and teams created. I found that I like the action genre. For example, maybe a racing, basketball, or swimming game. I feel that the genre of action is the most entertaining and won't make students get tired of learning so easy. Action is very fun and it isn't easy to get bored off. I want students to want to play my games and not feel that they are boring. Also, I really like to stay active. Being active is very important for your health. I would mostly like to create an racing game, because I really like to play racing games! My idea for a game, would be to have students answer math problems and then they would get to race if they got it right! I think this class will be fun!

What I would like to accomplish in Globaloria.

     My name is Alyssa, I am in the 7th grade at Sandy River Middle School. My Globaloria teacher is Mr.Lester!! I am all new too this Globaloria stuff, so it may take awhile to get use to it.  In this Globaloria class, I hope to create games with my friends and learn how to work cooperatively with my class mates.  I would like to succeed in making at least one game.   I am most excited about working with my friends and creating  games, also will be visiting my friends blog to play their games as well.  I am mostly scared about not meeting the dead line on making my game.  I hope that everyone has a great experience in this class and a great year!!
