Playing Platform Games

      In globaloria we have been working on platform games.  We all got together as a class and watched a video that helped us step-by-step with what to do.  The video was well made and easy to follow but still yet most people had trouble with the codes.  It required us to go back and check all of our codes and most of the time that was the reason it wasn’t working.

     Although, most of our games didn’t work with a little more work and concentration we all got our codes fixed.  I think now that everyone’s game is working.  Today we got the chance to go around the room and play different peoples games.  While playing their game I examined what I thought was wrong with them and what was done correctly. 

     While playing my classmates games I didn’t really notice anything wrong with them besides the fact that they could have added more design.  All the games I played were great, colorful, and fun to play.

     Through the whole platform game experience I have learned a lot about codes and flash that is going to help me a great deal with our final game.  Hopefully this experience has helped everyone as it did me.  Now that I am more experienced with flash I am excited to start my final game so that I can see what things I can accomplish.

The progress with our game and difficulties!

     Since we have been working on our game we have inserted numerous scenes and drew buttons out in those scenes.  We have put a lot of thought in our game and the work we do in Globaloria.  On the game scenes that we do have complete we also have all the design finished on them to.  We still have a lot more to do to finish our game completely but I think if we keep our head in the game we can accomplish many things before the end of this school year.
     The most difficult thing this year with globaloria would most definately have to be working with the codes.  I am not good at codes what so ever unless it is uploading pictures.  My partners are also not that good at codes.  We really need to start adding codes to our game to get familiar with them.  Hopefully with a little luck we will get all of our codes working and have a very great game.
     We still have a lot of stuff to do to our game.  We need to add animation, more design, codes and other important things.  This may sound really hard and I'm not going to lie it is going to be but it has to be done and I have my mind set on it an it will get done.

Three thing that making the Platform game helped with.!!.

     This past week we have been working on a platform game.  Our teacher pulled up an online tutorial that helped us make our platform game.  The teacher on the tutorial was very swift with helping us and did us all a favor.  Even though he was great help almost everyone had problems with the coding.

   However the platform game did help me a lot with understanding coding and the difficulty of getting all things exactly right.  We all listened carefully and typed the coding that was being presented and if you listened it gave you a better view on coding.

     Another thing that the platform game helped with is ideas for our game.  The whole platform animation seems like a great thing that could be inserted in our game.  We have a four level game and it would be really neat to have at least one of our levels with the platform theme.  I think that it would really help our game out in many ways.

     Also, this gave me a few ideas as to what to do with the design of our game.  With making enemies, people, and dead zones I got to experiment with game design.  With a little work you can make amazing designs with Flash.

     Altogether, this whole assignment really furthered my education in Flash and gave me a better understanding of a lot of things.  This is really going to help us with our game.  I am actually excited to be able to use this in our game!

     First of all I would like to say that Globaloria is a very complicated class and takes a lot of knowledge to master using Flash.  I knew that it was going to be a challenge even before I started it.  I wanted to further my education in technology and with Globaloria I can do just that.  There are many complications with making a game and you have to be patient one of the most frustrating things is working with codes but I have faith that we will finish our game with flying colors.

      One thing for us that was accomplished was becoming familiar with the new version of Flash.  We was so used to using the one we used last year which made it very complicated to use.  With a little work and experimenting we became more familiar with it and are now able to use it to build a game.  Now that I am able to work with Flash 5.5 my game will be so advanced and neat.

     Another thing that we have accomplished was to draw the scenes.  We have almost every scene designed and finished.  We still have a few more to complete but that isn’t anything major because, with a little time and effort we will have them all done.  Hopefully if we have some extra time we can go back and add more to every scene.

     The last thing that we have accomplished was to have a lot of animations and buttons inserted in our game.  We have our mind set on having four levels in which every one of them has some sort of animation. 

     It is going to be very complicated to finish our game to where it will be everything we ever imagined but with my wonderful group anything is possible.  We are going to work very hard and give It our all and hopefully we will finish our game before the end of the year.

 

Globaloria Progression:)

     We have finally finished our game demo and are ready to move on to the real game.  We have already started on our game and so far so good.  We have three pages of the game done and decorated but we still yet have to add buttons and animations and things like that.  With the help of all three of us partners we will most definately get it done.  Our secret weapon is team work.  What one doesn't have skill in the other does and that is absolutely great.  We are going to be working everyday from now on adding buttons, designs, actions, and so on.   

     In our game presentation we are going to do a lot of thing to make it fun to watch.  We want the audience to have fun watching us and put in good word on our presentation.  We are going to speak clearly and give eye contact as much as possible.  We are going to use body gestures to somewhat interact with our audience, and we are going to take turns so that everyone gets their chance to shine.
     By doing all of these things we will have a great presentation and everyone should be satisfied with everything.  We are going to practice everyday so that whenever the big day comes we will be fully ready and confident in ourselves.  I have a really good feeling about presenting our game demo and I am almost positive that everyone will love us and the hard work that we put into our game demo.
   I am so excited and very confident that we are going to do a really good job.  Hopefully all goes well.

Game Demo!!

     In Globloria we have been working on a game demo which is sort of like a short powerpoint on what our game is going to be like.  It explains things like our gameplay, characters, audience, and many more.  It is like having a sneak peek of our game.  In the game demo we have to use animations and design which gets the audience more interested.  We have worked very hard to make our game demo perfect, but there are many things we can do to make it better.
     We have a pretty fair amount of stuff done on our game demo.  We have all of our text finished.  Our text is yellow with a blue background which goes along with the West Virginia theme.  We have our screen shots taken and inserted on our game demo.  With the screen shots people have a slight idea of what our game is going to be like.  Also we have design finished we have an icon of a West Virginia sign.  This also goes along with our West Virginia theme.
     Although we have alot of things finished we also have alot to do.  We still need to find a way to put a playable scene on it so that the audience can interact with it.  Also we wanted to make designs move around and create a really cool effect to our game design.  We could also put more West Virginia icons to better the theme.
     If we can achieve all of these things we willhave such a great Game Demo.
