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.

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.
