weekly blog ;p 4/15/11

Last week we filmed our game demo's, uploaded and converted those demos on viddler, posted the film on our wiki and submitted our entries to the stem game competition. Please answer the questions concerning the process:

Should you have practiced your script more?
No we had it down!

Did you feel prepared to film?
Yes , but we were a little nervous especially when we had to do a bunch of retakes.

Overall how do you feel about the finished demo film?
I feel good about our demo film it is pretty simple and out in the open.

This week we have been working on the Team Pages, combining our games, fixing the code and adding scenes to the team games. In two to three complete sentences write a post about your experiences for this weeks assignment. Respond to one of your classmates.

This is a big pain in the rear! It actually isn't that hard once you get the hang of copy cut and pasting. It is going very well so far.

3-14 to 3-18 weekly blog :{o

This week we spent working on our games. Tell me what progress you have made? Some of you expressed an interest in demonstrating tutorials, if so have you made any progress, in this area? Please list at least three sites you have accessed for help in your game.


I have made it to the second level which I am working on now.I had a lot trouble with my code, but now i got it, I also added a timer :O so it's harder! I was wondering if we could have background music for our game, kinda like music for the elevators?

weekly blog -_-

This week we had a demonstration on how to use buttons to stop and start sounds. Did you find this demonstration useful. Explain why you might want viewers to be able to turn on or turn off music in your game.

I probably won't use this in my game. Maybe they need to listen to something else or they don't like the music.

Think about a demonstration you would like to have shown in the class room. Tell me whether or not you would be willing to find the information for and demonstrate how to complete the category of your choice.

I really wouldn't want to show any demonstration, but I was wondering if you could have like background music that played songs, for your game instead of silence?

weekly blog :)

We completed the Artifiical Intelligence section of the curriculum. How did you like this section? Did you have any problems, if so explain what section you had the problem in? Do you think that this session had useful tutorials and demonstrations that you might use in your game?

I liked that section, I din't have any problems. I think that if you was doing a game that involved enemies it would be a great help. I am doing a drag and drop game.

weekly blogg :O

Write a Blog post about the Jumping and Platform topic, share your learning experience! Were the instructions clear? Were their any instructions you felt were missing. Were you able to finish the tutorial? Will you use this tutorial in your game? If you will use Jumping and Platforms, please describe how you will use it.

I liked the experience, but I am currently having trouble with my platforms because my man does not stay on other platforms when I jump over on them, even though they have the same name as my bottom platform.I am not going to use jumping in my game, because it is a drag and drop game.

weekly blog :O 2/14 - 2/17

Write a blog about the timer category that we went over on the Globaloria curriculum. Tell me how you would use this in your team game. How could you make the timer go faster? How would you rate this tutorial using a number from 1 to 10; 10 being the best and 1 being the lowest rating. Tell me why you gave it the rate you used.

I am going to use the timer in my Drag and Drop game to count down to determine weather or not the person playing will run out of time and lose. To make the timer go faster you could take off a 0 from 1000. I liked the tutorial a lot better than most, so I probably would rate it an 8. I gave it an 8 because it didn't give you all the code at the end you just had to look at it instead of copying it.
