Playing Your Game

My role is the artist. I know I am good at this job because I am creative and I always draw or do something with art. I think i'm a good person for this job. We did not have any disagreements about our jobs or anything else. If we did, we would be able to solve it very easily. The one thing I can wait for is to finally test our game and see how it works. I think it will be very fun. Stephen had a great idea about how the game will work. He had a good inspiration and game idea and we all agreed and decided on that game.

Paper Prototype Reflection

Today, we worked on paper prototyping and then we recorded our video. It only took us one time to video it and it didn't take that long. It was pretty easy to do. We talked about our team name and we explained how our game was going to work. Steven video taped our paper prototype and Stephen explained everything. In the end, everything worked out well and I think it is going to turn out and be very good.

Team Expectations

The rest of my team and I have been discussing our expectations the past 2 days. We thought of an amazing name. We all decided on the team name, "The Doors". I think Stephen R. had the best ideas. He came up of the idea of how our game is going to work. The game will be a 2 player game. We are going to have 2 cars racing to the same spot. Then, during the race, the cars will have to stop in random places. The racers will have to answer a question each time they stop. They will have to stop several times during the race. As soon as your done answering the correct answer, the car will take off again to its destination. The first car to pass the finishline will be the winner. The whole team agreed and felt confident about how the game is going to work. Stephen R. will be the one who finds the resources. Nick will be the manager. Steven F. will be the sound producer. And I (Ryan) will be the artist. The whole group mostly feels good with using Flash player. I feel that our group will do very good with the game we're making.

Game Idea Reflection

I thought about some ideas for my game yesterday in class. I explained and told you how to play my game in the flash player. After I explained and wrote about how it is going to work, I uploaded it to my projects on my wiki. I hope my game lets people understand more about the Order of Operations. I'm really excited to start up my game and play it.

Not very often, but I used to.

Mini-Game Project

In the past two days we have been doing our mini-game project. It has been pretty fun and easy. Our teachers help us out a lot and that is why it is easy. I think it will turn out to be very fun and cool. One easy part is how we can copy and paste certain things. That makes it a lot easier than having to type things in. There has not been very many parts that are complicated, but, one thing that was somewhat complicated, is adding new layers. It was not that hard, but that is one thing that I had a slight problem with. Other than that, everything is mostly easy. Some things that we've been doing is keyboard control, game loop control, score, and collision detection. I think the rest of the mini-game project will be fun, but also, I think it will become kind of difficult.

Introduction to Flash

The Flash Introduction shows and tells you how to use and work flash. I found out many facts and different things about flash. One of the things I found out was that the layers are one of the most important things. They are the scenes for your whole game. The layers do not seem very hard to create. You can even reveal, unlock, lock, and hide layers. But, most of everything else seems pretty hard to do.

Choosing Blogs to Follow

Today I found 3 blogs to follow. They are called, Let's Play Math, 7Th Grade Math, and Exemplary Resources for Middle School Math and Science. They are very helpful. I think these 3 blogs will help me in the future because they give me very helpful examples and hints. The pictures and descriptions are also very useful. I really think those 3 blogs are also very critical. Now, whenever I need help with any of this stuff, I can look back at these blogs for help.

Social Issue Review

Yesterday in class, I reviewed social issues. Some of these issues are poverty, environment, social networking, economy, and fundraising. One of the issues that got my attention was the economy. It got my attention because I care about our economy and I want the best for it. Also, fundraising caught my attention because you can raise money for the less fortunate people and for charities.
