Mini Game and Imagining your game follow up blog.

I found that it was pretty difficult to do the Mini Game project but it was definitely a good way to familiarize yourself with flash and get to know how to make symbols, actions, and key frame.  If only I understood it better it would be great.  The best part of the topic was seeing how numbers and letters, when arranged in the proper order (which gave me difficulty) made something move.  The wost part was trying to think in a computer/Flash sort of way, which proved to be more difficult than what I had imagined.  The part that I look forward to most in the game construction is when it will all come together.  I am most interested in a strategy game because I think that they are the most interesting and the least boring.
Today I spent my time copying, pasting, and editing, although not very much in Flash but I will focus on that next time.
CHECK THIS OUT ITS PRETTY COOL

The Game Blog, Imagining your game, followup.

We are designing the game for ages 11-16. It will tell the players how to be more economically minded, and it will teach you how to act in a more environmentally friendly manner. The game will take place in four various landscapes in different parts of the world, in the desert, plains, mountains and sea shore.
It will teach the player what they can do to help, and how important it is for us to use alternative energy. It will also teach how different kinds of energy adapt to certain landscapes so that the player will be able to get maximum efficiency out of the different methods. The game will be more hands-on than if it were a quiz, and make it so that the player doesn't have to know anything before he or she plays the game.

Buttons are frustrating

Today I didn't get a whole bunch done, but I am sure that I am going to do more next week. I haven't done a lot on the game yet but there is still much to come, I am sure!!! Next time I hope to delegate the game out to each of us, so that we, or at least I  know what it is that I need to do.

Drawing!!

Today I did drawing in flash, it is fun although very repetitive. I am still learning lots from all of this stuff, but I am enjoying every bit of it. I am sure that this is a very worth while class because I am learning a lot of interesting stuff that I wouldn't learn other wise. I am also very glad that I ended up with a team member who actually understands flash, it has already come in very use full several times. And I am sure that they will several more times to come! So I guess that's all for now, see ya next week.

That's is definitely a good thing. Today I learned some more on Flash, thanks to akantorkiller. Currently I am working on a type of slide show, game explanation/paper prototype.It is alot of fun working on something other then mini game project. I believe that our game will be awesome because we have a very good game idea and also good computer skills. I don't know what else to write, so see you on tuesday.

Pencil and rectangle tool.

Today I worked on imagining my game. Flash is more difficult than it seems, that is for sure. I am slowly but surely learning how to use it, and maybe some day I will be good at it.Hopefully!  I really think that our game could be and I am sure that it will be really awesome, because we have a good very idea.
