Presentation

We are getting ready to presentations in our class. Today I have to blog about how to do a good presentation. In order to do a good presentation you have to pay attention. You can't start to giggle or laugh. You have to look at the in order to keep serious. If you don't people won't take you seriously.

Game Skeleton

Today we are going to blog about our game skeleton. My teams game skeleton is pretty much done with but, we have a couple of things that we haven't taken care of. We have all of things that we absolutey need. We dno't have all our art work done or put into it. We do have our primary game scene art work done. We are have almost all of it tin the game but we don't have it all. It is all drawn out but it is not put into it.

Three things that I have done on my blog is
1. Our primary game scene
2. Our fun factor scene
3. And our syle factor scene

And the thing that we don't have done
1.We haven't added any of our real scenes

3 things you and shouldn't do during a presentation

Three things you should do during a presentation are:
 1.  You should hold the paper away from your face so the audiace can see you
 2.  You should look at the camera or audience so they know your focused
 3. Be prepared for the presentation

Now three things that you should not do during a presentation

My friends are Alyssa, Kaitlyn, Meghan, Shayna, and Faith and are always there for me. I tell them everything, like when I'm mad or sad or anything. I tell the what ever is on my  mind. I am also thankful for god because he really lves me and he was the one that blessed me with all that I have. There are many things that I am thankful for.

Mini game

• Was it hard to make your mini game? What was the best part of this topic? The worst part? It was very hard to make the mini game. Most of the codes would mess it up but in the end it worked. The best part of the minigame was probablythe graphics. I love the new flash that they installed for us. It is so uch easier for us to draw in detail.The worst part of the minigame is codes. They were so hard to do. The problem with the codes is when you put one in it might work or it might mess you up completely so you have to start over.

Teamate

My partners are awesome. We've been b est friends sinhttp://www.google.com/ce we were 5. I love my group. I like my partners because their nice and funny. I also like that they will always help when I ask them. One thing I have truoble with is we dony always keep up with eachother

Challenges

One chalenge in flash is if I click on the flame affect it wont let me off.It does that with some of the other affects.I don't really have any other problems with flash. This flash is way better that the other one. I like this flash because it helps you with the art work more than theother one.

Paper Protoyping

• The Big Idea: Describe your team's game topic. What is the most important concept you want your players to learn? About the history of coal in West Virginia.

• Making Decisions as a Team: How did your individual ideas from "Imagining Your Game" come together for your team game topic? How did your team decide the topic? We had all thought aout the same thing so we told eachother and we decided to do it. 

• Roles & Responsibilities: Tell us more about your team process. Please each talk about your specific roles, and how you work together. We work together to do things like our paper prototype. We just kind of go with the flow when it comes to it.
• 
  

• Research: What kind of research went into the way you will express the game topic?
  We had to research some facts about the topic.

• The User Experience: Explain the game play. What actions does the player take in the game? Has this changed since you first started planning your game? Why? Yes it has changed since then. We were going to let the player drive into the right answer but, now we will let them mine coal for the coal.

• Mastering Flash: What Flash resources have been most helpful in your learning so far, and why? How did you locate these resources? The corretion tool.

• Overcoming Challenges: What curriculum topic has been most difficult for you so far? How did you overcome this difficulty? None. Everything was fun and easy. It is great! :D

    

Non Quiz game

My game is not a quiz game because it has all kinds of fun levels. Our game is about the coal production industries in West Virginia. The first level that you will have is when you are going underground and you are getting reay to get to where you can start mining. As you are going through the lelevel and you are trying to answer questions right. After you read the question you will try to drive into the right answer by sterring your cart.If you get the right answer then you go onto the next level. We haven't really decided everything else on our game because they made us start over. But I know that our game won't be a quiz game. Our game will super awesome.
 

Game ideas so far

Our game is going to be about the titanic.

In our game you will be going through different levels trying to survive the sinking of the Titanic. I am so excited about our game. It will be awesome. We will also be doing this while we get to learn cool stuff about the Titanic.

Globaaloria so far

So far this year in Globaloria has good. I know one good thing about Globaloria is taht it helps us with our computer skills. It also gives us a headstart for when we go to colledge and everyone has to take a class like this. The best thing about Globaloria get extra credit for it. The worst thing about globaloria is the super hard work.

Particpation Guidelines

Answer these questions on your blog:

1. What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community? There is a stereo type about some where
2. Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? That we are a bunch of backwoods hillbillies. We are really normal people. How could people learn more about that community? Come and listen to us tell how we really are. 
3. Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community? L.A has alot of thuges and gangs, From tv I could search it or ask some one that lived there what it was really like.
4. How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community? By playing it would help them understand

Imagining your game

1. Reflect on Your Game Idea
Copy and answer ALL of these questions about your Game Idea in a blog post:

• WHO are you designing your game for? (Include the player's age, abilities, and prior knowledge of your topic.) 8th grade history

• WHAT will your game teach the player about your topic? (Be specific!) The Titanic 1912

• WHERE does your game happen?
  • Describe the world you will design for your game. Atlantic Ocean
  • How will this setting add to the learning experience? It would make it feel more realistic and also more fun for the player.

• HOW does your game world teach the player about your topic?
  • What happens in the world that helps the player learn? It tells you facts about the Titanic and helps you better understand 
  • How does the player use what they learned to make something happen in the game? It helps them advance through rounds because you have to know certain things in able to jump around and do stuff.

• WHY is a game a better way of understanding your topic than a quiz? In a quiz game it is harder to learn because it is boring but, If it is not a quiz game then you will have fun and not have to be bored
• 

Playing to learn

I think the most would be science. I think that science is very easy. It would be awesome to make a game aboutthis. But we have social studies this year. It should be okay though because social studies is easy too. I think the games this year will be fun and interesting. I am excited to see what the other games will be like. This my team and I are making and a game about the Titanic. It will be awesome. Bye.

Presentations

We did our presentations today and I was so scared but when I got up their it was all right. I had to do most of the speaking because Shayna got up there and then she stopped talking. I got to talking and it got better. I had fun. And they liked our game.

End of the game

We finshed our game. It i different now cuz the  help desk XP made us change our game and now instead of Edward it is a girl named Alice. Now our is boring and dull. We need to fix it but we can't.

Internet safety

Today I have to blog about internet safety. If you want to be safe then don't put your last name on the internet. You can't put any personal info on your facebook or myspace or any other social network. Dont put stuff that you dont want people to on the internet. Be careful. You could get kidnapped so don't give info on the internet.

 

Drag n' Drop

Our game is a drag n drop type game. In our drag n drop game we will dragging edward and we will be dropping mud and dirt and leaves. eward will be trying to run and get the cake me or my partner shayna. If he gets the cake to us. If eward gets the cake to us  we clap and cheer. We will then gobble down the cake and then live happily ever after : D

     

Ideas for the game

In our game we have a special custom button that will limk you to the internet and let you choose the one the flavor of the cake that you want. We also have this really cool thing that lets you go to the screen and it shows you all the words when you click on it. Yes. Bomb Bot because it doesn't remind mme of math.Yes. Play bomb Bot.

Our Game

Our game in globaloria is really fun because in our game you can make cakes.
I think the best part about our game is the way you can ake any kind of cake you want.

I love our game and so will you.

Educational Games

I have played many educational games before but the most educational one is Study Island. Study Island has alot of games that you can play that are very educational. The games teach you so much and that is really good. The are very fun too. I love the games if you get your question right then you get to play the game. You should really try it.

what i like and dislike about my game

There are 3 things that I like about my game are that it is not a quiz game. The second thing I love is our game is because it is very well drawn. The last great thing about my game is that we have these really cool features. We have stuff like Custom buttons. Custom buttons are these little buttons. Wehave a really great thing but i cant tell. Then what i dont like is that it is We dont have a a strong back story.

What we did this week

This Monday we worked in flash and and tried to talk to the globaloria help desk to figure out what to do. We did this until today when we figured it out. We figured out how to this we got them send us an example file.

games

I'm so excitied about our game. Our game is going to be awesomr. It will be about eward cullen baking a cake.

Our Presentation

Last week we gave our presentation adn the people from new york loved it. They said that our game was the only one that wasnt a quiz game. They said that they could not wait to see our final game presentation. They said that our game was so orginal and that they loved the consept of having Eward Cullen baking a cake. I really wanted to tel you all that presenting your game is not scary. It is actually super fun and not scary if anything it is you should be excited.

Area

Hi this is My globaloria blog and today I will be talking about what the hardest concept about the type of a our game is area and it is definetly the hardest to teach. I think the reason it is the hardest is because it is very hard to understand. The entire concept can be confusing because the rules that it explains doesn't always apply to the thing that you do.  So it is very hard but in the end it is very easy to do.
