Have you ever played an educational game? I have and it was a very fun experience. Most of the time people like to play fighting and racing games, but I decided to play something that might actually help me in life. Last year in Mrs. Wimmers classroom we played an archery game where you must answer a problem right and then you would get the chance to try and hit the target with the arrow. Some of the questions we answered were everyday math like solving how much money was left over and how long will it take him to get there. I myself think that games such as the one I explained can help you in life. It can provide education in a way that you would let you have fun while learning. This way you will want to come back and enjoy yourself.
So far our game has about five or six scenes drawn out, but we haven't yet got our buttons working. There are three very interesting things about our game that I really like. I like the fact that our game is about a restaurant because, I love the look of a old time diner. I also like that our game is very colorful and bright. My favorite thing is the graphics because without them our game wouldn't look fun at all. I dislike that our game still has concepts of a quiz game in it because, the whole point of the game is to NOT be a quiz game!!!!!
This week we have been working on our game in Flash. It has been a joy to help my partner work on our game together and share ideas of what we think would make it better. This week we have been reading up on ways to make our game fun and cool. We have recently been trying to get our buttons to work. We still aren't sure how to but, we are going to try our best to get it working. We have also been working on the scenes of our game. We have already got about four or five scenes done. We have only done one this week but, at least we are making progress. Hopefully, next week we will have our buttons working and have another scene done. I guess I talk to you next week BYE!!!!!
So far we have done many things in Globaloria but, the funnest thing we have done was game presentations. I absolutely loved interacting with people on the phone. I gave it my best and I think that it paid off. I also liked making buttons. I loved making it all colorful and pretty. Although, I haven't learned how to make buttons work correctly I enjoyed creating them. I know that I have many things to look forward to In Globaloria. I also know that it is going to be a hard experience and it is also going to be fun. I can barely wait until our final game is done. It will make me so happy to see the progress that I have made in my Globaloria class,
At first I thought that presenting our game demo was going to be hard and nerve racking but, it turned out to be fun and I loved it. It was sort of hard when you have to show the work that you have done because, you are not completely sure what you need to show. We just talked our way through it and it turned out good. The funnest part was when they asked you questions about your game, because you can describe in detail what you want your game to be like when you are completely finished with it. Overall, it was a great experience and I can't wait to do it again.
Today, we are blogging about the hardest part of our math concept. Most people have problems knowing whether or not to use multiplication, division, addition , or subtraction. It can be confusing when one number is on one side and then on down the line the number is on the other side. All you got to know is when you have a number on one side do the oppisite to the one on the other side. Just remember these tips and you can work out any input-output problem in the world.
Adding input mouse was very complicated. I got some of my classmates to help me with it. They helped me with all the codes and the hard things like that. What we did was get the scene off one of the globaloria page and we personalized it. It wasn't easy to understand but, all I really had to do was read and think really hard. Overall, it was a hard project but easy to do with the help of others.
