BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Okay, so in this blog im suppose to tell you about the difficult concept to teach you about my topic and describe how to find tutorials about design to my concept or whatever it says. But we had a website that has mostly everything we need and if it didnt our teacher will teach the coding and what not for it. So really I dont know what to tell you. We got it pretty easy in our class. We have a teacher that knows whats she's doing.=] YAYYYY!

Ahaha mostly everything in my game will be difficult to learn and do. So I'll get back to you on this!

Demo Presentation....=[

Okay, on 11/19/10 our Globaloria class did a presentation on our demo that we created like weeks ago. At first I was like "okay this will be scary," but as time has pasted I was just like "okay whatever let get this over with." Everyone in my class did every well. Congrats to everyone, even to the people who got bad feed backs, which I'm one of them. To Gabe and Sam I really like your idea. Dont listen to that lady we were talking to. I thought it was so rude to basically say hmm your idea is wrong so redo it. Eh they did not understand what he was saying. Maybe get a hearing check! Clearly the lady, who we were talking to didn't really listen to what we were saying. I was very disappointed when they thought it was necessary to bring us down, from all the hard work we put into this demo and to our idea. Sorry that we are not professionals. And really I'm not teaching people to play beer pong. I think both people who i was talking to misunderstood my idea, I plan to show the effects after drinking. But the level you saw was just one on the levels. Not the whole game. ! Eh its so hard to explain what I'm doing with my game, But I will tell you this. ITS NOT GOING TO TEACH STUDENT TO PLAY BEER PONG. But overall it was a very good day. I loved every ones ideas and they should stick with what they are doing. Thank you and Good-Bye

P.s-  It was very nice to meet you Larry T. I was so exciting to have you apart of this experience. Thank you very much for the gift. It was very pretty. Loved the photographs.=]

Oooooooyyyaaaaa! Here we go again!

By making our game demos, I think I learned a little more, I guess. But honeslty I really don't remember, I'm on game mode now, not game demo mode. So! yes, the demos did help but dont ask me how cause I'm just going along with this blog.

To the people who created this course, I would like to add that maybe you should make the blogs completely different from one another. Doing the blogs that ask the same question, but in different wording, kind of get olds. Everyone in my class always say "ehhh again with the same question I've answered like 2 weeks ago". So to make this better, you should look into that. PLEASE!!! For furture student of Globaloria.

Thanks =]

Hmmmmm..... again?

Once again I've learned that drinking under the influence is very dangerous. People may not know it then, but drinking can cause a lot of problems such as to your body. "Drinking is associated with damaged and lost friendships, accidents, law-breaking, arguments, neglect of obligations, and other acts that are later regretted.  Drinking is also associated with an increased risk of unplanned sex, unprotected sex, unplanned pregnancies, and an increased risk of HIV infection, " I got this information off of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binge_drinking. I hope this site helps people understand that drinking under the influence is wrong.

YESSSS!!!!! Someone else has my idea!

Finally I found someone who has the same idea as me. Athough, when looking at time no one even where we were so it was difficult to do these blogs. But today, I actually found someone. As I was looking at the schools in my Knowledge Community, I was getting extremely mad. First school I looked at was Man High School, which no one even did anything in that school, So the next school I looked at was Oak Hill High School, which again no luck. I was actually getting worried at this point because I only had one school left, which was Western Greenbrier Middle School. I went to the user gallery and clicked on the first student, which was Amber. Thank God!!


Well See now I'm a little confused! Her team members have a total complete different idea then her. Are they doing something with the medical field or drinking under the age. Well you know what I don't care, I'm going with Ambers project page! In here page, she actually has different resources then I do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underage_drinking_in_America
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binge_drinking She has another one but it has nothing to do with what I'm doing.


But These resources can be very helpful for my game idea. Maybe i can actually take questions from these resources. But then again if she did change her idea thanks anyway for the helful resource.


Here a link to her project page.http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/wgmswiki/index.php/User:Amber.wgms/Projects-Western_Globaloria

Animation

This Picture relates to my game very well. Actually its pretty much the same thing, but i have a different concept. I'm pretty sure I made one of my level as a blog, so you can actually see what I'm talking about. But anyways by creating the demos I've learned that putting sound and movement enhances the game to make it look more professional. I'm so excited to make this game. Althought we had many set backs from our presentation for our demos, and hasn't actually done it yet. We still are excited to get started.

Visual Storytelling

To tell my story I'm using visuals! My backgrounds that I choice plays a really important role to my game! I choice to use my drawings that I made for the game! It shows the major theme of it! The playing to learn also uses visual storytelling throughtout many of the games! although I couldn't play all of them because half mainly all of them were blocked! The game that I like was the Third World Farmer, as was everyone elses. It showed the concept of Visual Storytelling very well! I liked that lesson because by making us play those games It showed me which genre I wanted to use! Although I dont think my game will turn out to be a puzzle game! Just saying!

Paper Prototype!!!

                                          The picture above would be my first level to my game!


Creating the prototype was actually fun. I really enjoyed making my game on paper and seeing what it will look like. It made me think of what I want to put into my game. To be honest I change a lot to my game idea, it probably doesn't even match what I wrote down on the team page. For my game idea I mainly just put down whatever came to mind. But it was really hard to draw my idea, although it was very successful. =] This project will probably be the last that I will actually enjoy! After this week, I'm sure I'm going to be pulling my hair out.=/

Planning your game!

For my game, I chose to work alone. Yes, we work as a class, but for the actual game making we work alone. I thought working with someone would have been harder to do. Working with someone would cause so much trouble, because you would have to divide the work into half, and have to listen to their ideas to even if you did't like it. I think if you worked with someone it wouldn't give you the accomplished feeling, like something you didn't do by yourself. I don't know, that's just what I think.

By choosing to work by myself, will take a lot of work. But I know I can do it. I've gotten this far. I know this game idea will be a challenge, but im so excited to actullay start making my game. I know I'll have to pay attention to what my teacher tells me, so I don't get lost in my game. I know I'm going to be a pain, because I know I'll be asking a lot of questions. Next week we'll be doing the drawing part for the game design and I can't wait for that either, becasue I love to draw. =)

Game Idea!

    


  My game idea is going to be the hardest idea to think of because of my topic. I mostly think my game idea would be something along the lines of a puzzle game. Which would include a person, guy or girl, playing beer pong at first, and then if the person miss so many times, that person is asked a question about a people who abuse alcohol. If that person get that question get it right, than the person is than transferred to another set of puzzle game where he or she has to get across a river while the screen is shacking, but trying to avoid flying objects hitting the person. If the person gets that question right, than he or she is transferred to a harder game. Which would be something along the lines of the person has to try get the ball into a cup of alcohol, while trying to cross the river as flying objects coming at the person. If that person passes that sense than he or she will be able to answer another question while will be harder, if answered correctly than he will continue to the next level. This time if he or she doesn’t answer correctly, than he or she has to keep trying to pass that level to get to the next, and so on.
 
       This was really exciting to make. I didn't realize this was going to be this difficult to do. But it was really fun to come with an idea for my game. Although I will probably change some ideas, because I'm not sure if I actually like the one I came up with. I can't wait till actullay making the game.

Mini Game!!

                                                                Mini Games

We started the Mini Game Project on 09/09/10. Which I wasn't here for the two days that we started, and it was the most important days not to miss school. Of course I have the worst luck in the world and got sick, and wasn't able to be there on Thursday or Friday. When I came back on Monday, I was so confused on to what I was doing. My teacher told me just to start off where everyone else was, and I was just like okay. When I stated I didn't know that you had to type everything exactly the same as you call the layer or symbol. And I was typing the bunny._x wrong every time, I was typing it as bunny.x  or bunny X. So my  mini game was so messed up. But I still did't give up, but I really wanted to.

I stayed after school on Tuesday, and had my teacher help me fix everything. So now I'm all caught up on the days I missed, and I finially understand how to do the project. I really enjoyed making this mini game. It was really interesting. But it was very hard at the same time. But who said this class was going to be easy?

Hello, my name is Amanda and my topic is Alcohol Abuse. The links I added will help me by telling me all the facts about poeple drinking alcohol, and how they over come it. I'm not sure what I actually want to do with my topic to make it into a game yet. I have to think more on that subject. But I know I want to do a puzzle game or at least try to.

By choosing this topic for my game, I hope it tells a lot about how people abuse alcohol, why they drink it, and how they act by being intoxicated. Drinking alcohol is a very serious matter, even with teens now at the age of 13 getting introduced with alcohol, even if it by their family members or by their firends. If not contained people can die from alcohol poisoning.

Games!

I'm most interesting in puzzle games, I like the kind of puzzle games where you have to take your time and actually look at what your doing, and go from there. Yes, some puzzle games can be very boring and make you want to fall alseep at your computer, but just read the description before you play it. My sister says she can't comprehend the  puzzles game, but I just think she does't have the patience of it. She usually gets bored within the first two levels. But not me! Once I play it's really hard to get me off the computer.

I also like adventure games. I like the type where you can explore and walk around in the game, and have to find clues to what you should do. To me it's more fun to have a "hands on" game to play. Who really like to be told how to play, what to play, and where to go in a game? Do you really think that would be fun, or would it be fun just to know what the controls are and be left on your one? I know I would.=]

Protecting your Privacy!!!

Protecting your information on the internet is very important! By putting your full name, address, and home town, or any other important imformation is allowing users to take this information and using it to their own advantage.

I have a myspace and facebook, and I have both set to private. Although I do have personal information on them, I believe it's set to where only my friends can see them. I had a friend who had their profile set to where everyone could see her profile, and she got a firend request by what it looked like to be a 16 year old boy, so she was like " alright this kid looks pretty hot so I'll add him". That was her first mistake! for about two weeks talking to this kid, she gave him a whole bunch of information about herself. After awhile she noticed  that this "kid" was acting weird and actually looked him up and found out that this "kid" was actually a 43 year old male! Luckly nothing happened, and she then right away blocked this user and set her profile to private so only her friends form school to see it! I think she Learned her lesson. She is just lucky that creep didn't some to her house and stuff like that.

Globaloria

Globaloria so far is the best class I've taken since I tranfered here last year! At Madonna they don't have these kind of classes that Weir High offers, and for that im greatful! I hope we as a class learn many thing as to what we would be doing. I'm not the computer type person so this whole blogging and computer stuff is new to me.

While I'm taking this class I already learned how to edit my Wiki page and learned how to fix my posting comments on my Blog on Blogger.com. I hope to learn how to create a puzzle or a hidden object  game, To me puzzle/hidden object games are more interesting to play than action, adventure, or anyother games out there. It would be so exciting to accomplish this. I just can't wait til we actually start with the gaming and stuff. I'm  just afraid that I might fall behind. But for now I'm doing great.
