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 (:
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.
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!!!
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.
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!!!(:
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.
