S.T.E.M Competion

On June 10th they are announcing the winners of the stem games competion. I am excited about it. I hope i win the laptop because there has been several situations where i definetly needed a laptop. I also want to win so i can possibly make games at home off of the flash that comes with it. I do have one question about it though, How are we gone to get our prize if it's in the middle of the summer? I'm trying not to sound like i am going to win or anything, i'm just wondering how is the winner is going to get it.

My final Game!

In the last week we have comnpleted our games and presented our games to New York. It was vey nervracking but was confident and relaxed. They really liked the spanish version of my game.I have enjoyed the expierence this year in this class. I am excited about the S.T.E.M games competition. I can't wait to see who wins or what happens.

My Game Progress

In my game right now i am adding characters to be playable throughout the game. One is spike (default), thunder, and lightning. Its kind of hard to do but I am excited to see what will happen.

Translating

Right now in globaloria I am Translating my game into spanish. It will still have the original english version but also in spanish. I wanted to do this because I thought it would be fun and it gives an oppertunity for people who only know spanish can learn and play my game. It will take some work but i look forward to seeing wat it will look and sound like.

Presentation

I presented my game to New York last week. I thought I got a very good review from them. They liked the creativity and color. They did recommend me to add a story behind my character. I thought this was a very good idea. I do plan to use this in the future. They also recommended to make recycling a lot more part of the game than I have now. I also plan to do this.

Game

In my game, i am adding navigation to the different scenes. I have definetly hit a detour i have not really got anything done because its not working. I think the most exciting thing about my game is the crazy concept of the game. I think the most difficult thing is going to be the coding in my game. no i have every thing planned. Yes, i do plan addding more things. mainly the concept.

Identity

My least favorite math concept is fractions and decimals. I can study harder and look through a book to improve. (http://www2.ups.edu/community/tofu/lev1f/conframe.htm)Visit that site to learn about math concepts. Any math game off a learning site because they all usually have fractions and decimals.

Identity

What do you think are you best skills in Globaloria? How can you help others with these skills? Are there any specific things that you can share with others that will help them with these skills? Share some of your experieces using the skills in Globaloria. Give an example of how you can use the skills in everyday life.

I think my best skill in globaloria is personalizing my wiki. I can help other people add picture, video, fonts, colors, and more. I can say "practice" you just have to fool around with it for a while. I never knew how to use flash. I didn't even no what it was. Now i know almost everything about it. You can use these skills in every day life by working on computers.

Other peoples blogs

I like Mrs. Sheppard's blog. I like how she puts pictures in her posts. Her blog has all kinds of pictures and helpful things for globaloria. I learned from her blog that I need to add pictures and put a lot of effort into each blog post. thanks mrs. sheppard.

Navigating between scenes

Navigating between scenes looks hard but is actually very simple but takes some work and thought. I think it will probably be the toughest thing you do on your game. That's just my opinion.The main things you need are Your pages and scenes. Next, you need yopur buttons and instance names. If you dont have an instance name than that will mess everything up. One of the last most important things is the codes and where to put them. You will always need a seperate action layer. You might need a little bit of help from a teacher or friend but you will get it done.

Social Issue in my game

The Social Issue in my game is recycling. It is very important and is making a change these days. All You need to do is the simple task of doing it. An example is paper. It takes trees to make paper. The more paper we make, the more trees go down. If we just recycle our paper, bottles, newspapers, and cans. We can Make a difference. I hope my game will make people think about how it will change.

Weekend

The Weekend is here and we are just finishing up on adding navigation to our games. Only a couple of people have got thiers working write. It is very hard, all the codes and scenes and layers. Soon we will be adding codes that helps our objects in the game move. It sounds pretty cool.

I JUST DON"T KNOW!!!

I still cant figure out why my game is not working. ive tried almost everything. The main problem is it keeps flashing in between scenes. Do you have an ideas.

Adding Navigation

Right now we are working on navigation. I am getting very frustrated because my scenes are getting messed up. i will keep trying though. Does anybody hav an idea for me
