Final Goodbyes :'(

Well this is our last day in Globaloria, which means this is my final blog. After this year I will no longer be in Globaloria which is really sad. However i'm kind of happy to be going to high school. This year was really challenging and it took alot of hard work. Even though our game was incomplete I still enjoyed this year. We actually tried our best, but our files kept corrupting. We had many struggles with our coding since we used 2.0 instead of 3.0. On our teampage we tried to upload as many screenshots as we could because the corrupted files wouldn't open we have no screenshots from thoses games. I really wish our game would have been finished and that everything would have worked the way that we had planned it to. These past two years have been an amazing learning experience and I have really learned alot. Even with the good and the bad I still enjoyed Globaloria both years. I can't believe Globaloria is really over for me. No more blogs every Friday, No more learning log every day, and no more making games. I will miss everything about Globaloria, except for the codes. I'm gonna miss being an 8th grader at SRMS alot. However, i'm kind of looking forward to the new experiences we will face next year. We will have many new challanges in our new school and i'm sort of excited. I'm going to miss joking around with Mr. Addair alot because now I have nobody to call Clownie and nobody to pick on. Globaloria is hard work but i've had alot of good experiences in here so if I could do it over, I would! Well that's all of my final blog so later (:

More Time(:

Well this year globaloria is almost over and today were presentations. This year we were really behind because we had to start over several times. Today as we were getting ready to present our file corrupted amd we didn't get to finish our game. The SWF file was working but we couldn't open the FLA. Since we were working on our fact scene button when it corrupted our fact scene didn't work. Therefore you couldn't see our learning factor, which really brought our grade down dramatically. We worked really hard on our final game and all of it got deleted so yeah, we sucked! If I had more time I would make our fact scene work and our last level as well, I wish we had more time.

WesTest(:

Well this week is our last week to work on our game. Since we don't have teachers willing to help us because they don't know anything, our game will be incomplete. The only thing we have to present are three buttons that work. Next week is Westest and I dread it alot. I hate taking westest because it's so boring waiting on everyone to get finished but theres nothing we can do about that. My favorite is having activities in the evening after westest. I really hope we do something fun today because i'm so bored. Globaloria is really boringg! THE END!

    

  Well our final game presentations are almost here. To be honest we are nowhere near done. The only thing we have done is our buttons and our design, we have nothing for our gameplay. At first we started in 3.0 so we could use code snippets but then we wanted a platform game so we started over in 2.0. Now we don't know what to do cause we have to have gameplay. So we're probably just gonna start all over in 3.0 today. This has been a very difficult process in trying to get our game finished. However, I don't think it's gonna be finished but we're trying our best. I really hope we get our game finshed but none of our teachers will help us! We don't know how to use gameplay in 3.0 without it being a quiz game. I wish we had teachers who knew what they were doing.

Y.O.L.O

MY LIFE
 Well i got bored with blogging about prom so I decided to blog about my life. I have brown hair and highlights but i'm getting it dyed back blonde when i get home. I'm very outgoing and love to have fun with my friends and just everyone except people i can't stand. My bestfriends are Kaitlin Monique Cline & Amber Lashae McClanahan, i couldn't live without them. Even though we fight sometimes we always make up. I'm fearless and live life to the fullest no matter what anybody says. I can't stand people when people talk about me behind my back because they don't have the nerve to say it to my face! I really wish some people would just grow up.  My favorite guy friends are cheese, jacob, and nick/boo-boo(: I can always talk to them and I don't have to worry about drama with them.

SpringBreak, OHH YEAH! (;

Well to start this off next week is spring break. I can't tell you everything that i'm going to do on spring break because it's not really appropriate but I know i'm gonna have fun.! I play on shopping , chillin at Kaitlin's and riding tha fourwheeler. I'm gonna let loose and act like a total idiot. This is the last week we get off of school before the end of the year and it has to be the best. I'm also gonna chill in the back of a hippie van <--insider :D. I plan on chilling in the hippie van with Kaitlin and a bunch of other people. We're gonna drink lots of monsters since we now have a collection. Khaos is the bestest energy drink ever! Imma be chillin with Kaitlin, Lakyen, Dustin, and Nick :P Were gonna have fun and I can't wait (:

Incorporating Flash(:

In our game we used 3.0 so that we could use the code snippets. Since we used 3.0 we can no longer make a platform because platforms don't work on 3.0. We really don't want to start over on our game but we may have to :( In our game we did use arrow key movements to move the character and we used motion tweens and animation. Our game is going really good this year with flash and everything. The easiest part is to make buttons but yo don't have to do any work if you use the code snippets. The hardest part is hittest andall the codes that go with it. Our game design and everything is going really good this year it looks really good we have all of our scenes drawn and we just need to get the hittest to work but that is complicated and boring! However I think we will get everything finished.

Game demo

While doing our game demos it was a long way coming but it wasn't all that bad. Doing game demos is complicated sometimes but it really isn't that bad. This year we started our game demo thnking we were going to do our game on the Titantic but halfway through it we changed our topic to the Allegheny Plateau. By starting over it took alot more time then it should have but in the end it was all okay because we got everything finished in time. We changed our topic because we didn't know our game had to be about West Virginia with an 8th grade CSO. Since we are using an 8th grade CSO the game will be more on the grade level for the players and it will also be fun to learn about the state you live in. Thanks for reading my blog!!!

Platforms=Boringg!!

     Since today is Friday is blog day :D! We have to blog about platforms since that is what we are working on this week in Globaloria. At first the platforms were really complicated and difficult to do. Mr. Addair got us a tutorial video with step by step instructions to making platforms. We watched this video all together as aclass. I really like the idea and concept of the platform game and it makes a quiz game a non quiz game really fast. This is a great way to make a non quiz game and it's very interactive. It takes a while to get everything done with platforms but in the end it's all worth it. However if you have one little typo nothing will work with platforms and that's like the only disadvantage to them. We are almost done with our platforms we just have to make the character move and not fall through the platforms, but that should be easy.

Changing things!

     At first our game was a quiz game and we done it on 3.0 since it's on 3.0 we can't add platforms. In order for our game not to be a quiz game we have to use platforms so now my team is debating starting over or not. We have accomplished so many things this year and we don't want to have to start all over. We may try to think of some other way o not make a quiz game. We didn't understand that in order for our game not to be a quiz game we couldn't ask questions. Our game was based on just asking questions and letting the player move to the right answer but now we understand why we can't do that. We are very nervous about starting over because we don't know if we can get everything done in time for presentations. Even though 3.0 is alot easier because we get to use code snipptets we can't use it. We are very disappoined and we hope everything gets done in time! Thanks!!!(:

Blog(:

Well since we've had like the same topic forever i'm blogging about struggles and how my partners work together. So here it is for the tenth time!

       Globaloria is hard because our teachers don't even know what to do half the time our other classmates are the only people who help us. We have many struggles but my team works together to overcome the struggles, we work very well together. My partners and I have learned that in Globaloria you have to learn things by yourself. Although my team is having alot of problems with finding the caode with hittest and making it work. This year we have came along way though even though code snippets make things easier it's still hard to make everything work. Globaloria is really hard though but in the end it all works out for the best.

My Blog((:

This year globaloria is a lot different. Right now Globaloria is very exciting and fun. We are learning more new things, and we even have a new flash. I have already learned aot of new stuff in Globaloria this year. Last year we used flash 3.0 & this year we use CS 3.5. The new flash is alot easier to work with than the old flash is. The new flash also has alot of cool new things on it. It has animation and you don't even have to use a code to get it to work. There isn't anything that I dislike about Globaloria because it's fun & you get to learn alot of new stuff. I really can't wait to start our new game. I really like learning new stuff in Globaloria. To see my wiki page click HERE! (:

Kaitlin's Platform Game....

     We recently completed our platform games, Kaitlin played my game and I played hers. Mr. Addair told us to play each others and write about if it works or not. So I got to play Kaitlin's and everything worked correctly. All of her enemies moved, her character moved, it didn't fall trough the patforms, and the "you lose" zone worked as well. The only problem with her game was that her enemies were too big and you couldn't get by them to win the game. It took us along time to finally get everyones platform games to work but in the end it all worked out for the better. Thanks for reading my blog!! (:

What the Platform Game taught me

The platform game taught taught me alot of new stuff. I never knew how to make a platform and how to get it to work. Neither did my partner so this was a new experience for all of us. The only new things I learned to do was make platforms and get them to work. It's takes alot of steps to make a platform but I think it will all be worth it in the end. Nobody hardly ever uses platforms so it would be unique from everybody elses game. It would be a very cool experience for everyone. My platform game doesn't work all the way because my player just falls through the platforms. Today I mainly focused on adding alot of new details to my players and my background. In the end I think everything will look good and work properly. I'm really glad I learned all this stuff.

3 Things we've Accomplished so far (:

     At the beginning of the year I thought that this year in Globaloria was going to be easier than it was last year.It is kind of easier but since we have to use and 8th grade CSO that makes it more difficult. However even though it's harder would rather use our CSO's because ths is actual stuff we're learning this year. By using this CSO we might learn some new stuff that we didn't know as well.
     This year we are usng a whole new flash and  don't know if that's a good thng or not, because we had to learn everything over about the new flash since we hadn't used it before. We are just having some trouble wth getting our codes to work. In ur game we have made alot of the buttons and got them to work since that is the easiest thing to do. We just have a few more to finish and hat shouldn't take long.
     The second thing we've accomplihed so far is making most of our scenes. At the beginning of the year we were so focused on making a good wiki and fixing our team page that it kind of made us behind on our game. We learned that was a mistake. Our scenes take alot of wor since we have so much gameplay and interaction with the players which makes it harder for us.
     The final thing we've accomplished so far in Globaloria is our design. In each of our scenes we have alot of cool and unique designs. We also learned that we should have worked on our gameplay first and then worried about designs after everything else was finished. Our goal is to make designs unlike any others because we really want to have a really unique game.
     So, those are the three things we have accomplished this year in Globaloria. We know we have alot more to do before our game is completely finished. After today we are going to have to work really hard so that we have a really unique and fun game. I really think everything will get finished if we really try. This year we've all came a long way in Globaloria and we've learned so much.! (:

Game Construction....(:

After presenting our game demos we realized that we couldn't use the WV logo on our game because it was copyrighted. So we changed the picture to a different logo with a person beside of it.  The Globaloria people helped open up alot of new ideas we could use in our game and they gave us alot of good feedback. We decided that instead of one question on every level we would use two so the game is longer and more interactive for the player. We still have to make two level scenes in our game but hopefully it will be done in time for presentations. The hardest part in doing all of this is to make sure the codes work. Our game has changed alot since our original ideas from the beginning of the year. However it has al changed for the better. Their feedback was very helpful in our game and it helped us alot. ((:
