Friday 4-30-10 Blog

One of the goals I had written on my blog Thursday was, getting the game skeleton finished. We have made a lot of progress working on it. We are almost done with it. We drew more scenes in flash to upload to the game skeleton. The only thing we need to do to finish up the skeleton, is add the actionscripts. We should have it finished very soon. Our team members are all trying to contribute in a way. Personally, I think I should try to join in on a couple more things and take part in certain things. I will try as hard as I can to start doing this.

Assembling Our Game

In the past two days, we have been continuing on our paper prototype papers and our game skeleton. Yesterday, we finished putting in the last page of our paper prototype onto our team page. To finish up our game skeleton, we have been adding our prototype to it. Personally, Stephen and I have worked on the layout sheet and also tried to think of more ideas to put on our skeleton and prototype page. It wasn't to hard to do. For the rest of the week, our plans are to add the rest of the prototype to our skeleton.

Drawing in Flash

Drawing in Flash is very cool. I just started drawing my pictures and Scenes In Flash. Some of the pictures and scenes can be very easy to draw, while others can be very difficult. I have learned a lot about Flash and how to do different sorts of things in it. I have a feeling I will learn even more as I keep using it. I also think I will have a great learning experience when using Flash! The subject of our game is going to be 2 cars racing, while they answer questions as the race goes on. The first one to the finish line will be the winner. There is not much more that we have learned about our game since I have last wrote about it. Yet, some kids have been blogging on our previous blogs explaining that they think our game will be very fun. The also say that they can not wait to play it. Everything has been positive about our game. I could not agree more with any of their posts. I have to say, that I can't wait to play it either. I think it will turn out to be very good.

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.
