What I have Accomplished

    We have done alot this year. I feel very accomplished. We also need to make some emprovements. We need to make our game more professional. We need to make our aim button work like we had planed and we need to put some carnival music on our game. We have finished everything on our team page that we are supposed to at the time. We have done alot but we still have a long way to go, we just keep traveling down the computer road.

Our Game Demo

I didn't really learn anything when we were presenting our demo to the class. I think the reason I didn't learn anything was because we already knew everything about our game and the demo. One thing I did learn was that it might be hard for me to do the real presentation. I was imbarassed even in front of the people that I know, my classmates. If I could talk to the journalists and other important people I would ask them to improve our reasourses. We need better computer programs, more profesional than what we have.

Using Flash

     With all that we've done this year my favorite part is working on Flash. Working on Flash makes me feel like I am doing something professional. I like using Flash because it is very simple, we are having a very easy time doing it. I also like it because it alows me to be creative, it is awesome being able to see my ideas unfold in a computer program. Using Flash gives me the opportunity to put my ideas and inspiration on a computer screen. i love using Flash simply for reasons I can not put into words.

Adding Animation!!

This relates to my game because we have used something simalar to this with our "You won" scene and the video is a good example of moving the objects on our game. These animations also stand out to me because they are simalar to our game and they are eye catching.

    

My Struggles....

We have completed alot of things in my first year of Globaloria. I have struggled too. I have struggled with getting myself focused on my task at hand. I have struggled using the codes we have to use. I have had success in doing my buttons. I'm not perfect at doing buttons but I think I have the hang of it. We have finished lots of stuff. We have done mini games, prototypes, and many blogs. I haved loved Globaloria so far and the thing I am looking forward to the most is playing my game when its finished.

Want to thank...   http://www.webphemera.com/2009/08/medical-conditions-in-toon-town.html  for the daffy duck picture!

A Helpful Link!!! [very helpful]

    This year we are in the STEMS catagory. Since STEMS is math, I tried to find a link that delt with math. The link that I have really helped me get the concept of how math cam about. This link is from Wikipedia and it was so very helpful. Here it is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics  I strongly advise you to visit this link and read the whole thing, its very interesting.

Adding Scenes and My Storytelling Ability!!

We are using visual storytelling in our game. This is not so easy to explain. I'm going to try anyway. We are using visual storytelling because we have an Aim button and you can choose the way your story goes, you either make the bullzeye or you don't make it and lose. Thats a story all its self. Also we have a Shoot button for you to shoot or not. What I'm saying is that they have a choice to not play the game or to play the game.  In our game you choose your own fate, make your story as you go along. We got this idea off of one of the games in our Playing to Learn. We played Animal Rescue Squad and they had buttons where you could choose the way the story goes. You could choose to save the animal or make a mistake and the animal dies. We want to thank the Animal Rescue Squad game for the helpful ideas.

Drawing a Scene

    This week we started drawing a scene!!! I loved doing this with my partner because we started to see what we wanted to do. I have been so excited about starting our game and now we finally can!!!  Our game has helped me to realize that globaloria is starting to get harder. I have learned several things about our topic. One is that game of chance is pretty hard, two is that our 8th graders wil have fun on our game and third I think that we are prepared to do a game perfectly. My partner, Angel, has been very, very helpful to me and she has taught me how to do everything I know. Angel is very experienced because she was in this class last year and she is very trustworthy.

Paper Prototype!!! Excited to Start

Our paper prototype turned out good. This is only a stepping stone to start on our game and it gets me more and more excited about starting our game. We have kept all our original game ideas. This has helped us visualize our game and see more clearly what we plan to do. We have decided not to change our game plans because they met all the expectations and we loved our ideas once we started.
Here is a picture of an example of a paper prototype.

Our game and what I'm most excited about!!!

We are in the STEMS category this year. Our topic is game of chance. We have decided to fo a carnival theme. Our genre is going to be adventure. Our game is going to have milk bottles, popping the baloons, and darts.  We are going to ask the players what is the chance of something happening and they have to tell us. When they answer it they win the round. After that level we will probably have about 2 or 3 more rounds. After all these rounds they will either win or loose the game. We hope to start our game soon. This is our game genre, topic, and ideas. We hope you like everything!

In this project I am most excited about creating more detailed graphics and making it more life like.

On the Wii

In my spare time I play games. I play on the Wii. On my Wii I play "Just Dance", "Six Flags" and "Mario Cart". These are my favorite games. I looked on viddler.com and found some videos of "Just Dance". Here is one of them...

Me and My Topic!

My name is Breanna Manes. I am in the 8th grade Globaloria class.  This year our topic is Math. Personally I love math. So I am really excited to get started on our game. Our  topic is going to be math and the links on my projects page are going to help me research my topic. The links go along with my questions, here are some of the links; 

 Multiplication     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication 

History of mathematics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mathematics

Pythagorean theorem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem

Our Game Genre...... can't wait to tell you!

You ask me, what is the genre of my game.  I'm so excited to get started this year so I can't wait to tell you. Our genre is more than likely going to be adventure. We both like the adventure games that we played and now we have some ideas in mind. The games we played were really cool and we are alomost ready to start our game. We also liked adventure because you get to do some problem solving. Well thats all for mow visit my page if you want.  http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/User:Breezy41

8th Grade Year

8th grade year!!!! Its been awesome so far. Some things are different. I am in globaloria this year and I love it so far. This year we are doing math games. I really want to learn how to make games and how to put some cool designs on them. I already know how to edit my wiki page and I'm excited to learn some more. I expect to learn how to make games and publish them. This is the link to my page. http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/srmswiki/index.php/User:Breezy41
