progres so far.

So far we have a really rough version of our game. We have to make lots of improvements. Most of the teams had spelling mistakes and that was there biggest flaw. We also need to add some more color to the presentation. We would also like to get some more monster energy logos and things to use. We hope to get it done and have a great presentation.

Game demo

while completing our game demo we learned a lot about what our game will be like. we planned a lot of stuff for our game. We had a great time working on our game demo. We hope to have as much fun working on the actual game.

Sound

In our game we will use sound for the dirt bike engines that you will be able to drive in our game. We will try to make our sound as real as possible. We will try to put sound on every scene that will include sound effects and music.

Working in flash

I like working in flash so far probably because I have a years experience with the program. I like using it because it lets you be very creative and artistic. All in all flash is a great program I hope that you get the chance to use it because it is a great tool for modern game design.

adding animation

This picture relates to our game because it has a dirt bike with the monster logo on it. Our game is about square roots and is based on monster energy. In our game you get to drive a dirt bike.

My struggles and succeses blog.

This year in globaloria has been a blast so far I have a great partner she is not much for hard work but its never a dull day. We have made some progress on our game and hope to make a really good functioning game that we can be proud of. The hardest part of this year is not really hard but it is aggravating to go through all of the tutorials again. I think that if we had more time we could make better games.

Adding scenes

We will use story telling to teach students and anyone else who plays our game about square routes. One of the games I played that had story telling in it was the hurricane Katrina game it showed me how a good story can make a game interesting. Our biggest influence for our game is monster energy and motocross. Here is a link to adding scenes.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Adding_Scenes

Drawing a scene blog

In drawing a scene w got a good look at the colors are going to be in the game. Our main colors are green and black because our game is about monster energy. This unit has gave us a big incite to how our game is going to look. There is a link to the drawing a scene unit.

paper prototype blog.

This unit has made us change our game idea from slope to square routes. Our game idea is now to have a monster energy dirt bike and jump over the wrong answer and land on the right one. http://www.monsterenergy.com/web/guest/home

Imagining your game blog.

Our game idea is a game that is like racing type hill climb game were you have to find the slope so you can race up the hill. This year I want to focus on the learning part because I think that it would be cool to have a game that teachers can use to teach there students. At the same time though I would want a fun game to play that you can plat over and over again. I want to make a game that will be remembered by millions of people. I also want our game to have a lot of replay value because if you play the exact same thing over and over it can get boring really fast. So I will leave you with this information so I hope that you will enjoy this game when it is finished.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/User:Clyde.stacy/Projects-8th_Grade_Globaloria_Fall_2010 This is a link to my projects page.

Yes I do play games in my free time. Mostly I play PS3 but I occasionally play xbox. My favorite game is probably my newest game Red Dead Redemption. Seeing how much code goes into a simple game I can't imagine a new game.

Choosing a Topic

Hi I am Clyde I just completed choosing a topic. We have chosen to make math games I think that these links will provide us with lots of useful information. That we can use to make a fully functional educational game that is fun to play.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_mathematics This web site has a lot of old style math that is easier to do or at least I think so.

Playing to learn.

http://www.kongregate.com/games/LongAnimals/drift-runners

In playing to learn unit my favorite game was drift runners. It did not have much educational value but it was fun. I would like to learn how to make a drift game and then use that concept for an awesome math game.

What I want to do in Globaloria this year.

http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Main_Page

This year I would like to make a better game the last years game. I hope to further my flash skills enough to make my own games some day. I think that it will go better than last year with a new partner and a new concept it is unpredictable what we may come up with. I would like to make a longer game hopefully another platform because I enjoy playing them. At the top is a link to the srms wiki.

The year summary.

The presentations went well our team the dancing goombas of doom got best review. At least that's what our friend Chuck told us. This year went well I had a lot of fun making our game. I had a lot of laughs I consider most of the people in our class my friends. Ms.Barker done a good job teaching us about flash. I hope to win the competition but we will just have to see.

My civics engagement blog.

There are a few things in our game that I would like to have done. One was that whenever you collect a scroll that Sacajawea would put it in her hair that looks somewhat like an Afro. Another one was that we would liked to have more than one character that you could play as but we were scraped for time so we just kept the one. There were a lot more little odds and ends we could have added but this is our first game in flash so it will not be the best but we will try. Hopefully with some luck we will have an even better game next year.

I comminted on Annas blog because I liked how she explained that putting the learning part into a game is hard. This is a link to her blog so you can read it and see what I am talking about.

I think that the geography was hard to teach because it was hard to find good information and to find a way to incorporate into our game was difficult. But that is when I came up with the ideal for information scrolls.

This is a big scroll I found when I was looking for pictures.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls This is a link to take you to a page about dead sea scrolls. We also teach through the use of obstacles such as trees and rocks to show that it was rough country they were going through. It was hard to think of a way to put it in our game but when I figured out how to it was easy.

I think that on TV and radio the people present the facts in a way that benefits them. They try there best to persuade us to go to there side. It is hard to find a place were you can get facts that are true without someone trying to change it to there benefit. So the best way I have found to find good information is to check many different places and compare them. The way I do it is to search for sites and then narrow it down to the best few then I use those.

This is a Honda Civic it has no real relation with civics but when I searched this is what came up. But I did manage to find an actual civics picture.

The team I chose is the Muffin Tanks. There game is Survival of the smartest it is about the second amendment. In there paper prototype I can see that there is a little man that gets the box and makes the question come up. In there demo you have to click it I thank that is a good adjustment because it is easy to make a button but some times it is hard to collect stuff like that.



In there level I see that there is one enemy that you defeat but I like the new level were there are a bunch of enemy's coming and you have to shoot them. One of the big changes is the characters the use of stick figures is a classic look that I really like.

The team I pick is The Muffin Tanks from South Harrison HS the name of there game is Survival of the Smartest. There game is about the second amendment they are trying to teach anyone who wants to learn about the second amendment. I like the look and feel of there game the way it is played just blows my mind. I mean they have a question about the second amendment then is they get it right you get a power up that will help you in the level. From what I have seen on there team page they have two different level types one where the enemy's come from the left and you have to collect them to score points. The other is the one I like the best were the enemy's come from the sky and you have shoot them and dodge them.

When collaborating with my partner on the paper prototype I had fun. We shared ideals and thoughts to find the best topic on for our game. He wanted a Mario style game but I suggested that it be about Lewis and Clark. It was a little challenging to think of something like Mario but linked to civics. It just so happens that the day before I watched a movie with Lewis and Clark in it. We both had a big hand in the storyline but he did most of the artwork.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

How well do average Americans understand U.S ideals. I think that they really don't know much except why at they watch on TV or hear on the radio. They really would not know about U.S ideals because they are rapped up in there own little lives to care about such things. Most American people just think that they can't do anything to change the government such as vote for president. In fact I went around and asked people why they would not vote for the president they said they would but they think they will get called for jury duty. So I think that the average American would not know much but I also think we need to teach them so they to can have an effect on our great country.

This is a link to a site that tells about manifest destiny that is one of the great American ideals. Manifest destiny was a term used in the 1840's to justify the united states west ward expansion. They expanded into places such as Texas and California. (information from http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h337.html)

Game presintation.

I think that they went well except the fact that our power point would not load. They gave us a great idea that instead of moving West to East to go from East to West.

Clark

Lewis

We have narrowed our topic to telling how the laws came to be in the wild west.

To learn more about Lewis and Clark follow this link to a website all about them.

ideals

Hello I am Clyde and I am one half of the Dancing Goombas Of Doom. Our game is about Lewis and Clark. Our game tells about the west ward expansion and how the laws and rights came to be in the wild west. Our game fits in the ideals framework because it tells how the laws traveled west to the settlers. I think that it is a great game topic and I think I will have fun making it. Hopefully you will have fun playing it. Here is the link to our team page.http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Team:The_Dancing_Goombas_of_Doom!!!!!

Is plagerism wrong?

I think that it is wrong to take others work.


1. copy right law is a law that states that you are to give credit the author, fair use is a law that protects the author of school work like research.


2. the projects for school are protected by fair use unless they post there stuff outside of school.


3. a public domain is where you can go to get information without affecting copy write law as long as you site the source.

4. you can use up to 10% of text and media.

http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/plagiarism/ This is a cool game like thing which you can learn a lot about plagiarism.

My newyears resolution for globaloria.

I would like to create a great game and win the competition. If I win I would like to take the lab top with flash and create more fun games for everyone.There for I would like to accomplish my new years resolution.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year A link to the definition of new years resolution.
