Here in Globaloria we are still working on our games.  However, we are going to be in westest all week soon, so we probably will not get to work on our games too much since they keep us in class testing for hours at a time, all morning.  It is very boring and "important" to our school.  Our games are due soon and there is still a lot to do.  Westest is interupting everything in the school.  It will be very difficult and challenging to be done ontime

Nikki and I have been working on our game.  We have been creating the running track and for the player to pick a character.  Next we will begin to work and code on the man/woman running the track.  The player will be able to chose if they would prefer a girl character or a boy character.  We have been making changes to the track.  I have created characters for the part that allows the player to select what character they would like. 

Game and Flash

Currently, Nikki and I have changed our plans for our game from paper prototype.  In our paper prototype our game was planning to be multiple choice; however, we changed our idea to become a drag and drop game.  We have thought of some different foods to be places on the game.  The player will have to create the healthiest breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for the day.  This makes the game more challenging.  In my opinion it has improved since we created our paper prototype.

     Mr. Lucas came to our class on Friday in Globaloria.  He talked to us about the importance of the class, and how we were intelligent students in the class.  He told us about jobs that the class will help us in the future.  Mr. Lucas also questioned us about if it was possible to take the class next year would we.  I said yes, depending upon how my schedule will go next year.  He talked to us about the importance of making good grades, and how he thinks that this class should count as a math class because of all the coding.  The codes are difficult to do in flash and can make it harder to learn it.  Some things in this class are fun, however, I find the Wikki's hard to do.  I do not really like having to keep up with a Wikki.

Flash!

       Everyone has their own opinion about flash.  I, personally, am not in favor of Flash.  I find it difficult to figure out what codes to use in the "actions" box, because if you get just one space, letter, or character wrong it messes up the whole action.  Then, you have to figure out what you did wrong and how to fix it.  I find it difficult to use.  It was easier to use when Mr. Smith came to our Globaloria class and helped us out with flash, however, we ran out of time; I learned a lot the day he came and helped us out.  I think I just need more practice at Flash, but I still am not in complete favor of it.
