Meeting Goals

I'm not really sure what our goals were for this week, but I think they were to finish the scenes we have now, and add more by today. We finished the scenes, but it's kind of messed up right now. They're working they're just not really working in the right order. It's complicated, but we'll fix it. For next week, I think we should finish it by at least Thursday, if not then Friday. I'm sure that we'll complete it before then though. I like my team. I think everyone is contributing equally and working hard. I could do more writing, and planning ahead. The three Major things we need to get done next week are finishing the scenes were working on now, add new ones, and fix our problems.

Starting to Assenble Game Demo

The past two days we have been working on our game demo on flash. My team has done a fair amount of work. Shaina finished the team introductions page, Triston is working on the primary game scene, and I have finished the intro scene. It was pretty easy. Everything was easy really. Yes, I think that all the team members are contributing equally, because we're all working hard and fast. I think that our plans are to finish the scenes and than add new ones. Flash is getting easier to use every time I use it. I think we'll finish everything within the next two weeks.

Flash-Game Demo Skeleton

We've worked in flash for the past two weeks and it's been confusing, yet easy. I've learned a lot about it and how to use it correctly. It's very easy to get an error though. I feel confident on doing everything, but codes. Putting in different codes has been the most difficult, because there are so many possible variations of them for different things. It's really confusing. I haven't gotten to far with my game demo skeleton, because I can't seem to get it to work. I haven't gotten my buttons to work on flash yet. I'm hoping that another classmate will help me with it.

Adding Sound

We watched videos on how to add sound. I learned a lot. Such as, how to add sounds to the game. It helped me a lot. I'm not entirely sure of what sounds to use for our game yet. When we do add sound, it will make the game more interesting, and fun to listen and play. Sound is important in games, because it's what makes the game more interesting, fun, and enjoyable, because it's not that boring. I'm not sure what games have good sounds in them, I don't usually play a lot of games. I think that adding sounds will be easy.

Working With Flash

I thought that the live session with Meredith was really interesting. I learned a lot more about flash, and how to use it better. I'm getting a better general idea on what I do for the game. I learned a variety of details on flash. Such as, how to make a game skeleton, use different codes, etc. For making the skeleton, overall it was hard, but not difficult. Actually it was kind of easy. It was hard, because it was just really confusing, and you can mess everything up very easily. Which can cause you to get mad and stressed. It was easy, because Mrs. Forinash helped us with all of it and went step by step through everything. You can see my game skeleton by clicking on this link below.

I'm looking forward to be using flash. I think it will be challenging, yet easy.

Team Game

Our team game is called Paint Your Own Room. You can choose a color to paint a room, and determine how much the paint will cost to cover the square footage of that room. I think it's going good. Flash is getting easier. So far I haven't done anything, because I was absent. I'll be working on it soon.
