My Accomplishments


So far in Globaloria, I've made alot of accomplishments. We've made our loading scene, our title scene, level 1 & 2. My struggles was trying to get the actionscript to work, but I got it now. I look forward to making more scenes, and adding all kinds of colors and sounds to it. I think my game wil be exciting and fun , and my partner and I are working very hard to make sure that happens.

Adding Butons


Adding buttons was pretty easy. The codes are easy to remember because I used them frequently last year for my game. Buttons aren't that hard to make all you do is draw a shape , group it, convert it to a symbol, and put the code in. I didn't have to do any researching or read any tutorials on this topic because like I said I used it enough last year to know what to do.

Adding Scenes


The "Adding Scenes" unit was very helpful. It helped me narrate this game a lot better. You have to set a storyline in your game so the player will understand what it is about. I'm using visual storytelling in my game by updating the player about the progress that they've made so far. For example, if the player gets the question wrong, they are notified of the consequences. One game that I played in the "Playing to Learn" unit was "What Would You Do?" It had a lot of text. It narrated throughout the whole game. Here's the link to the game:http://www.unicef.org/voy/explore/aids/explore_1360.html

Drawing a Scene


Drawing a scene was really easy and fun. It taught me a lot and I can't wait to draw more scenes for my game. Drawing a Scene taught me to be very detailed with your actionscript because if you miss one little thing, everything will mess up. It also taught me to usa multiple colors on the scene to make it look full of life and interesting. The new idea I learned about my topic was that you could use it in many different ways. You can make any math problem by using square roots. I learned this by researching my topic. This game will take a lot of work, but in the end it will be great.

Paper Prototype

The Paper Prototype unit was very helpful to the start of our game. It made thinking about what our game should be about much clearer. Our game is called "Dash to the Dance." It is about the character of your choice trying to make it to prom before the time runs out. Along the way, there are some obstacles like solving mathematic problems before getting to purchase the items you wish to wear to prom such as dresses, tuxes, shoes, etc. This should be a fun game to create and I look forward to the experience.
