Last week our school took the WestTest which is for us the biggest test of the year. The easiest subject for me would be the math the rest of them were sort of difficult. Although, most of it was hard I think that I at least met mastery on all of them. The teachers kept us motivated to do good by handing out mints and having an activity after every part. Also, in between sessions they would have a snack waiting for us. Overall, I think that I did a good job and I know that the staff did everything possible for us to stay focused and do a good job.
Last week we had globaloria presentations and I think that my partner and I did really good. They looked at our team page and played our game. They had really nice opinions on our game such as the design and setup, but they also had opinions on how we could make our game better. They want us to incorperate more animation to the way our game is made. I think that we could fix our game by the end of the year and I can't wait to see about the overall game!!!
We have came a long way in our Globaloria experience striving through hard obstacles and facing trouble. Through this whole thing we came out shining. We are almost done with our game which is based on the learning of input-output tables. We have all of our buttons working and all of our keyboard. We have four scenes that have hit test but, out of those four we only got one scene working with hit test. We should be able to finish before presentations becasuse we have our mind sets on winning the laptops and with that motivation we can do anything. Well that's all I can say I guess you'll have to wait and see. :)
Have you ever had a facebook or myspace? If you have you may know the importance of privacy on the internet. You try to keep your personal information private because, it is dangerous in many ways to give it out. There are times when with your info people can track where you live. Also if you add people you don't know they can send you hurtful and threatining messages. Another thing to keep in mind is to never give out your last name. They can look up who your parents are and track down your phone number. The internet is sometimes a very dangerous thing but if you follow my tips you should be O.K!!!!!!!

Our game design is Dragon Drop and Arrow Keys simply because, our waitress is going to be moving up, down, left, and right. Also, our Dragon Drop would come in when the food is falling. We are going to have food falling with answers to questions and the waitress must hit the food with the right answer on it to win the game. If she hits the wrong answer she will have to start over. We thought that Dragon Drop and Arrow Keys would be a good combination and would be really fun for the students playing the game. That's what our game is going to be like I hope you like it.
Have you ever played a math game that has actually helped you learn. This is what we are trying to do in our globaloria game. Math games definately motivate me in a way to where I learn while having fun. I really like a math game called Flower Power because it was fun and it was girly and it actually helped me in math. I hope to experience more fun while playing an educational game and I hope one day that you will to. A very nice site to play educational games is on coolmath.com.
We have been working in flash for a while now and it is starting to get easier. We have had a lot of diffucult time with flash but, with a little help anything can happen. I can assure you that our game is going to be very fun and educational. What I look forward to the most about making our game is the effects and graphics. We want it to be like a caroon appearence but we want it to be some what 3-D and we want it to have a lot of movement. Right now I do see my game being finished but, it is going to take a lot of hard work and it definately isn't going to be easy.
