Presentation (:

2010-05-14T05:20:00.000-07:00

Our game presentation was pretty confusing. We didn't have one of our Game demo's so we had to go and do it before we had to present. Finally we got it done, and our presentation went pretty good. Team Thriller freaked out at first, but once we got everything done, and we presented our game, we were fine. MJ Save's The World is a simple game, and the people in New York liked it. The other teams did really good. I was so proud of them!

Game.

2010-05-07T05:22:00.000-07:00

My game is going good for the most part. We will be done by the duedate. Our game will help young kids around the ages of 9-10. Division is something everyone has a problem with, so this will be a fun way of learning. MJ Saves The World is a game that is going to be fun, simple, and not confusing. I hope we teach our players how to divide, and have fun while doing it. When players play our game, they will see the different problems and at the end they will get to watcth Michael Jackson's Thriller video.

Our Game, (:

So, as the year slowly comes to an end, my teams game is almost done. It has been rough over these past few months, but we did it. Our game will be simply awesome. My team members have helped me so much. Haley, has helped me draw, create and code the levels that I had to do. Chris has helped me with the more confusing things with our game. They both have taught me so much, and Im sure Ive helped them in some way along the way. Our game will help people by teaching them division. Divison was probably one of the more confusing subjects when I was in elementary, and now this game will help younger children learn. MJ Saves The World will be incrediable. I can already tell by just working on it.

My experiences in flash have been remarkable. I have learned so much, just by this program. I liked it when I learned how to make objects or words blur away, explode, or expand. I thought that little detail was really awesome. Our game will have allot of special effects. Our names at the beginning of the game will explode and then it will go to a new page. Our game will also have some more special effects, I just have to talk to my teammates about it. I know we'll have sound effects, and trust me these sounds will be awesome. I think the best part of our game will be the end. You have played the game, and now you can watch one of the three videos that Michael Jackson has created.

EGMS Games, (:

Well, I looked at their games and they seem pretty cool. Some of them have alot of color to them, and it looks really good. I don't think I can use any of their idea's because we're all on a different path to creating our games. I would have to say to them that their game's look great. Their doing such a good job. I don't think we're going to make a change to our games because MJ Saves The World is already a good game. I think the tractor is my favorite, becuase they have the most done and it's really cool.

Game Presentation

Our game presentation was great! We did an amazing job. The people loved our game, and said we did a great job. I was so nervous when it started, but I got through it. I actually liked it and thought it was fun. The greatest part about it was when they said we did a good job! I was proud of us, and now I want to finish our game. It is going to be awesome! Our game is going to be so cool, and fun!

Presenting your game, (:

2010-03-02T07:19:00.000-08:00

Well my game presentation was somewhat confusing. I mean, the powerpoint was easy, but everything else was hard. I have to say, the powerpoint was the easiest thing I've done in here. Infact it wasn't hard at all. I think the hardest thing about it was trying to get it all done. You have a certain time limit and in that short little time, you have to do almost a million things. It's very frustraiting. I believe our game is going to be awesome. I've learned from the 7th graders that it's going to be scary and really nerve racking!

My Game.(:

2010-02-08T07:22:00.000-08:00

The funnest part about assembling my game was putting the scenes together. It was hard but somewhat fun. The hardedst part about assembling my game was everything. Everything that has to do with my game is hard, and confusing. Im looking forward to getting my game done and moving on out of this class. Im just happy that its almost over, and our game is almost finished. Im not saying that this class isn't fun, i'm just saying that it was hard.

Working on our game(:

2009-12-14T05:13:00.000-08:00

We have been working on our game. We added sound and some interaction. When we added sound, we had to find what sound we wanted to have in our game. Adding interaction was confusing in some ways, but it was fun. I loved how our game moved around, and made sound. I'd say adding interaction was the hardest thing we've done so far! Adding sound was very easy to do. I actually loved adding sound to our game(: It was great!

I wasnt here- 12-3-09

2009-12-04T05:22:00.000-08:00

I had to have surgery yesterday, so I was not here. I hear we had to play a game; but I couldnt.

Astonomy

2009-11-25T05:21:00.001-08:00

When I get older I want to study the stars. Astronomy is a big part of my life. I love going out at night and looking at the stars. I believe the stars tell a story about the many years before we were even born. Astronomy is amazing and beautiful. I will always love astronomy no matter what. It just makes me feel so alive and happy. When I become an astronomer I was to find a new planet. That would be so cool! Astronomy is great and I wish everyone could see that. Astronomy isn't just about the stars, it's also about the planets that are in our solar system. In my opinion, the planets are stunning, and important.

Working on adding navigation

2009-11-20T05:11:00.000-08:00

Working with navigation was fun but hard! It was confusing but I quess it was ok. Adding navigation was alot of fun though. You get to work with different buttons and make them unique. Our game is going to look great with our navigation. We had to learn new things about codes and the way to make our buttons with navigation work. That was the hard part! I dont think there was anything fun about that part. The truth is, itexciting and I love it.

2009-11-13T05:29:00.000-08:00

Working with my group is great! We have so much fun, and we help each other. My group is supportive of each other. Our team name is Thriller! MJ is our main character. Our game is coming along great! We have almost every level made. Each level gets harder and harder. MJ dances his way to victory. We wanted this game to be about MJ because it seemed like a great idea.

Flash(:

2009-11-06T05:16:00.000-08:00

Drawing in flash is hard, but fun. I love working with the diffrent tools and colors. My favorite color is a light purple, so I use that color alot. I have made the About The Game part, and The Title Scene. It was fun because I got to work with The diffrent shapes, and colors and I even got to draw MJ! That part was hard. I had to redraw him so many times!Other than trying to have to draw him about a million times, it was extreamly fun. I love drawing in flash, and I know its going to get harder the more we work with it.

Planning your game

2009-11-02T07:25:00.000-08:00

We had to plan our game. Here is the link to it, so watch it please!

Educational Gaming

2009-10-16T05:16:00.000-07:00

Well I know that its awesome to have fun while you're learning, but I personally don't like them. I just think educational games defete the whole purpose of video games. A video game is fun, non-learning, and basically everything an educational game isn't. I have played educational games, and that was on studyisland. I actually did learn something when I played the games from that site. I learned how to do math. I guess educational games can create a learning atmosphere. It will help kids get smarter, but they do need a break sometime. I mean, we go to school all day, go home and what; learn math by a video game? I just don't like them.

2009-10-09T05:16:00.000-07:00

Im excited about making my game. MJ saves the world! He will have to use his amazing dance moves to win the game. This game is going to be one of a kind. We wanted to make a game about him because he was the coolest guy alive. Go MJ!!!!

I liked these two blogs the best. They talked about math, and everything in between. The first on is just a normal man, who loves math, that blogs about it. But the second one is about math. It tells you everything you need to know about it. I would have to say the second on is my favorite one out of all three! But the third on is amazing, because it was written by kids in New Mexico.

Internet

2009-09-21T05:12:00.000-07:00

It is important for us to know that, the Internet has many right and wrong things on it. It's good to have because it helps teens with their homework, it helps men and woman send emails very fast. The Internet also has some bad things on it. Chat rooms, and some very bad sites are just an example of whats on the Internet. Our safety on the Internet isn't a joke. We need to be safe. Don't tell someone you don't know your address, phone number, or anything else for that matter. I think the Internet is only as safe, as you want it to be. It's your choice to get on there, and tell people your phone number, or address. All I have to say about the issue, is; Think before you act!

Math

2009-09-11T05:16:00.000-07:00

I don't really like math. I think it's alittle hard to understand sometimes. I try to do my best in all my classes, but I think math is the only class that Im bad at. Maybe one day I'll be able to understand it. My favorite thing about math is the times tables. I think it's the easiest thing to do in math. All you have to do is multiply a number by a number or by it's self. I like that part of math. I think my least favorite subject in math is Integers. I think thats so hard! Oh, and another subject I think is hard in math is trying to put decimals, and fractions in order from greatest to least, or least to greatest. I don't like it that much.

2009-09-03T19:09:00.000-07:00

Today we finished our wiki pages. I think it's allot of fun. Then we had to follow other blogger's, but I like it. I added some songs to my blog. I really don't know which song I'd pick as my favorite. I can't wait until we start making our game. I think it's going to be hard work, but also fun! Globaloria is amazing. We get to use Web 2.o. I think the most important thing in this world is peace. Peace is no more wars, and no more fighting.

Im very excited about this class. Im hoping I can make a game about super barbie. She's going to be able to fly, and have super strength. Super barbie, is going to have to save the day! Super barbie will have hair, that changes colors, depending on her mood. Super barbie, will be amazing! Like I said before, Im very excited to be in this class. I believe it helps me understand computers better. This class is very fun, because I can make a game, spend time working on something thats important to me.
