How I would finish my game.

2011-05-24T05:11:00.000-07:00

If I could improve my game I would add a score system so you can track your progress. Then I would add lots of levels with harder questions more challenging levels. I would like to have had the score system on the game for the presentation but i dind't have enough time. So that is what I would do if I had a more time to work on the game.

group review

2011-05-06T05:15:00.000-07:00

On the game my partner Brooke manged to make a directions scene and a help scene. But in her two scenes it took me ten minuets to fix the spelling errors. But I have to give her credit she actually got the scenes to work properly on the first try. I sum how manged to make the rest of the game. If you were to make it into a percentage this is what it would be Brooke-20% me-80%. That's the percentages of what part of the game we made.

Final game

2011-04-22T05:10:00.000-07:00

I finally finished our game. It took a while but I think the end result was worth the wait. I have a total of three levels that go through different areas with diverse climates. It has a good story and a nice ending if you can beat it. The graphics are pretty good it took me a while to make the character for our game. He turned out nice he looks a little dorky but that's okay.

What I have left to do.

2011-04-15T05:22:00.001-07:00

I don't have a lot to do because I have a lot of scenes. I have to fix all of the speling errors that my partner has made but shouldn't take to long. I have made a new bike with a rider on it so it looks better. I have lots of different backgrounds to ride through. The last thing I have to due is make a credits scene and put music on it.

Change

2011-04-11T07:51:00.000-07:00

I have put a scrolling background on our game. It works and looks very nice. We have made the numbers move and you have to hit them. They move and react like they are supposed to but I still have to work on them some more. We have also decided not to have a rider on the bike at this point in time. But that could change if we find a picture of someone to put on it. If we don't than it will remain an empty dirt bike that drives itself.

Peer evaluations.

2011-03-31T08:16:00.000-07:00

We learned a lot about our game during this process. We learned that my partner can't spell for nothing.

So now I will have to go back and fix all the spelling errors that she made.

That is the main thing we have to do to our game.

Some of the good things they said was that they liked the colors that we chose. I really liked the colors that we chose. It was her idea for those colors because she wanted to make it like monster energy.

They liked the controls of the dirt bike they said it was really fun. They said that it was a good idea but I need to but more scenes in the game.

How I use my time wisely.

2011-03-25T05:12:00.000-07:00

First of all I do my learning log that way I have more time to work on my game. unless of course I am blogging then I do the blog first. Over the next few weeks I will mostly work on my game that should be all I am doing. Except for the weekly blog.

5 paragraph blog.

2011-03-18T07:52:00.000-07:00

Working on our game so far has been pretty easy. Until now we have yet to have any major problems.
One of the few problems we have had is that when I got the numbers to move the rest of the level did nothing. So I had to recode all the levels so that they would work properly.

Another problem we had was that Garret needed some code from my game. So he plugged in his jump drive and saved it. But when he took it out it messed it all up so I had to get the file off of him in order to work on it.

Another problem we had was the code for the ramp made it act like a box. So when the bike went up the ramp it looked like it was jumping on a block so it looked very stupid.

Other than those minor glitches that we had it has been great. We hope to finish the game and make it educational.

progress

2011-03-11T07:53:00.000-08:00

I have made some progress to my game I have accomplished what I said that I was going to do. I have made the numbers on my scenes move. But when I did that the code for the keyboard control didn't work. Now I have to fix that and code the rest of the numbers and make them have a hit test.

What I accomplished this week.

2011-03-04T05:09:00.000-08:00

This week I added a new level to our game. It has a big green ramp on it and the bike jumps it and hits the monster can. I still need to add the math part to the game so it can be educational.I will try to get that scene done next week and get it uploaded to the wiki.

Thing that make my game fun.

2011-02-25T07:54:00.000-08:00

The first thing that makes our game fun is that it is about dirt bikes. The second is that monster energy is the theme for the game. The final thing is that it is about square routes which is a easy form of math. The next thing we have to do is get a picture of Lester so we could make it look like he is riding the bike.

A non-quiz game

2011-02-18T05:10:00.000-08:00

Our game was not really a quiz game to begin with we didn't have enough done to even see if it was a quiz game. But we still have a lot to improve on. We still have to add the math element to our game so it could be educational. We only have one level so far but it is just a tutorial at the moment. we will have as many levels as we can in our game so that it will take a while to beat. The other game I made was very short and to the point I am trying to steer away from that with this one.
We are going with a less direct approach so that is more fun to play. we are going to make this a fun and exacting game.

Improvements I have made after demo.

2011-02-11T07:15:00.000-08:00

After the demo we had a lot to improve on but so far I have made the dirt bike jump and land on a platform. We still have to put a better story into the game so it will be more entertaining. We will also have to get a picture of Aron so we could put him on the motorcycle.

What I learned from my game demo.

2011-02-04T07:56:00.000-08:00

I learned that we need to add a story to our game. That way it has a point so you have something to work for so it doesen't seem pointless. We will also have a character on our dirtbike it will probable be Aron or Larry. We learned alot from our game demo and will try to fit all of them into the game.

progres so far.

2010-12-10T05:12:00.000-08:00

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

2010-12-02T05:24:00.000-08:00

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

2010-11-19T05:21:00.001-08:00

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

2010-11-12T05:18:00.000-08:00

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

2010-11-05T07:52:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-10-29T05:44:00.000-07:00

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

2010-10-15T05:18:00.000-07:00

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

2010-10-08T05:12:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-10-01T07:56:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-09-24T05:18:00.000-07:00

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

2010-09-10T05:21:00.000-07:00

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.

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.

2010-08-30T05:28:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-06-01T05:18:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-05-13T05:20:00.000-07:00

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.

My civics engagement.

2010-04-22T05:27:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-04-15T05:18:00.000-07:00

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.

2010-03-26T05:16:00.000-07:00

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)

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.

ideals

2010-03-01T07:16:00.000-08:00

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?

2010-01-29T05:27:00.000-08:00

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.

Map drawn by William Clark

I have researched a lot about Lewis and Clark. I have found a website with all the Lewis and Clark facts you need.

http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/librarydisplays/lewis%20and%20clark%20display%20website.htm

Meriwether Lewis : right

William Clark : left

I also learned how much they got paid.

All of the original party, except Captain Clark's slave, York, and George Drouillard, were in the army.
Enlisted men were paid $5/month
Sergeants - $8/month
Clark - $30/month
Lewis - $40/month
Drouillard, hired as a hunter and sign-talker, was paid $25/month.

American History

There are a lot of events in history that changed history but I like the invention of the telephone.

It revolutionised the way people communicated. It was very important to people of the future. It is used thousands of times a day all over the world.http://inventors.about.com/od/bstartinventors/a/telephone.htm This is a link to a web site about the phone.

Adding animation and sound.

2009-12-09T05:19:00.000-08:00

In this blog I will tell you what I done in this unit. So far I added cartoon sounds to a man dancing on a wall.I made a button that when the mouse is on it it will make a sonic boom. I have had a lot of fun learning how to add sound.http://www.findsounds.com/ This is a good place to find sounds. This was a great unit and I enjoyed it.

Adding Navigation.

2009-11-23T05:20:00.000-08:00

I have had fun working with flash in adding navigation my favorite part was working on the button to take me from one page to another. It was hard to learn but I was satisfied with the out come. I like working with flash and blogging about the unit. http://myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Adding_Navigation

letter to senator.

2009-11-09T05:27:00.000-08:00

Dear senator

I think what has happened at fort hood is a terrible tragedy. This is a link to a video about fort hood.http://www.viddler.com/explore/wymttv/videos/144/ I think they need a program for stressed soldiers. In which they can relax and relieve them selves from suicidal thoughts. Any personnel in the army should be stress free so that the hole army can flow smoothly. So this sort of thing doesn't happen. I have family in the army and I know how stressful it can be. So I hope that in the future that tings like this doesn't happen for someone else to deal with.

What I have learned in this unit.

2009-10-30T05:19:00.000-07:00

I have learned a lot about our game topic. http://www.lib.fit.edu/pubs/librarydisplays/lewis%20and%20clark%20display%20website.htm This a link were I got most of my information about Lewis and Clark. I learned that there journey took 2 years, 10 months, and 4 days to go there and back home. I also learned that all of the original party except captain Clark's slave York and George Drouillard were in the army. Most of them were paid George Drouillard was hired as a tracker and hunter he was paid 25$ /month
Enlisted men were paid $5/month
Sergeants - $8/month
Clark - $30/month
Lewis - $40/month

Our game idea now.

2009-10-16T05:26:00.000-07:00

Our game topic is about Lewis and Clark as they map out the Louisiana purchase to help make the modern world what it is today. As players play our game they will learn that every one has an individual right and fredom. Our game fits into the ideals framework because it is about fredoms and rights of idividuals. Our team name is The Dancing Goombas Of Doom. Here is a link to our page.

My view of rights and responseibilitys.

2009-10-09T06:39:00.000-07:00

I think that if you were a shirt that may stop another students progress of learning than you shouldn't were it. The same rule applies for a court room you can't were a hat there. So if it is offensive to others than it is not appropriate to were.

If a teacher or principle wants to search your locker than they should ask if they have no whiteness against you but if they do than they should be able to.

Our game idea for the Dancing Goombas Of Doom.

2009-10-07T05:24:00.000-07:00

My partner and I sat down and thought about a game idea. We were thinking on a game about Lewis and Clark were the player can go through different 2d levels in which Lewis and Clark will travel to map out the states.

We suspect to have at least 3 levels but they will be a little harder as the player progresses. We would also like to have a level up system in which the player will get stronger. We would like to add at least three different playable characters with different abilities like jumping higher and things of that nature.

My blogrole chocies

2009-10-02T05:18:00.000-07:00

I chose http://blog.coreknowledge.org/2009/09/18/civics-and-sanskrit/ because it has lots of information on different types of civics
I chose http://historycoalition.org/2009/03/25/bill-to-reform-teaching-of-american-history-and-civics-introduced-in-the-senate/ because it is about a bill to teach kids about American history.

I found this website that had lots of information so I added it.

http://americanhistory.si.edu/ this is a site that will take you to the biggest museum in America the Smithsonian. I looked at it the site has trip planners and even their own blog.

How it has been so far in globaloria.

2009-09-28T05:24:00.000-07:00

I have had fun in globaloria so far but now is when we have to learn flash so we can create our games. After we do that we get to make our video games.

The hardest part of globaloria is the wiki codes and flash codes. The rest of the lessons were difficult but not as hard.http://http//myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/Main_Page This is the site were we are working. It is a great site with lots of opportunities. I don't know a lot about it but When I do I will use it to my full advantage and to the advantage of others.

Cyber safety.

2009-09-21T05:20:00.000-07:00

To be safe on the Internet.The Internet is as safe as we make it. To be safe don't give your full name or personal information. It is amazing what the Internet can give us.But it can take to there can be physico killers out there so you need to be safe. If you be safe on the Internet you can open many doors to new opportunities.

You have rights on the Internet such as free websites.But you also have response abilities such as don't talk to strangers. So be safe and have fun.

If me and the school wanted to decide a new dresscode then I would vote to have rights. Rights to were what we want as long as it is appropriate for school . Such as jeans or skirts if you are a girl that is.For boys they could were shorts or jeans.We have a right to were what we want just like any other citezen.This is just one of the rights of this great nation.This is the constitution of the united states of america writen in 1787 and radified in 1789.

So I think that we should have a right to were what we want. I do not want to were this. I know most girls do not want to were this.http://wikkipidia.com Go to this site to learn more aboute your rights.
