Game Demonstration

Preparing for Presentation

To prepare for the presentation we have watched videos of other schools who have given their presentations and posted them and compared them to one another pointing out their shortcomings and what we like in them. From these presentations we are going to make a list of things that we want to include in our powerpoint presentation including things like game scene clips, title, and just explanation of the general gameplay of the game. First brainstorming is needed to see the type of layout we want to have for our presentation and then go from there. This should be a rather simple process of showing off the game and storyline we have been preparing.

Disasters

Tragedies happen all over the world everyday but with recent troubles it seems these devastating events are happening closer and closer to home. From the earthquake in Haiti and California, to the tragidy that shook not only our little community to its core, but our whole state. With these catastrophes occurring with more frequency it seems that at times like these there is nothing that can be done, that we are all helpless. However out of the dark is always the light and as a community, nation, and human race we must stand strong and support one another to help ease the pain of these times of great suffering.

Animation

We learned the short lesson on animation, and how to get objects to move by using keyframes and motion tween.By making a keyframe with the ball in a different location, you can then go to the motion property and select tween and when playing the movie the ball will smoothly transition from one place to the other.

If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause and say, "Here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well."

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

Silence is golden but duck tape is silver.

How will you using frames and keyframes?

In order to have animation in a movie you must extend the timeline to last some specified duration, and put in keyframes wherever you want the scene to change. Keyframing and framing is what will make the objects on a slide to move on a given time, and gives them direction over the corse of the clip.

Blog on Blog

I chose to do my blog v. blog on Nick Harrison of the English class. His blog is well styled and well lasyed out, but has many grammar, spelling, and punctuation problems. I think after combing through his own blog he will be able to see many of these problems and be able to fix them.

Topic

I am having trouble figuring out what topics I wish to choose for my game. I don't want to rush into anything because I feel like if I end up picking one just to have one, I wont want to put any effort into it and I will have better results picking a well thought out topic.

Playing to learn

Today we played multiple games to look into how programmers can design games to be both educational and fun. I found two games I realy enjoyed, Climate Change, where your the president of a European nation and you have to cut CO2 emmisions. Another game I found interesting is 3rd World Farming, where you have to take control of a farming family and have to pick crops, take care of livestock, etc. to help them make it through the years.
