Adding navigation

Adding navigation was a bit confusing but I got the hang of it as we went on. This is very helpful information to me and will help me on my game. I had fun with this project and will use this for sure later.

This video tells you how germs enter your body in different ways and how they effect you.

Adding sound

Sound is very important in a game because it can warn you about whats going on in the game. Also it will be more entertaining. I can't imagine play rockband without sound it would just be horrible. Every little thing counts in your game even if its not a major part every little thing counts.

Interaction

I love working with flash its very fun and I can't wait to begin on my game. My game is how medicine works in the human body. The medicine pill that you take will transform into a star fighter which will kill the germs that are trying to make you sick. There is a health bar for you and the person your inside of. There will be power ups to help you kill the germs. There are also red and white blood cells that are trying to help so try not shooting those cause you get negative points.

Animation

I learned many things about animation and the coolest thing I learned was how to tween things to make them move in any direction. I like the animator vs. animation it probably took a long time to make but it looked amazing. I also like the stick figure fight it has some cool animations.

Pokemon


I love pokemon! I remember when I was a little kid I had a game boy color and played pokemon constantly. My first pokemon game I owned was pokemon Yellow. It's probably my favorite version because you can have all three main starters and Pikachu! I love pokemon so much if I had a Nintendo dsi I would only play pokemon because it's an amazing rpg.
Everyone knew what pokemon was when I was in elementary school. I collected the cards as well but never knew how to play the card game lol. I loved the way they evolved into bigger and better monsters. Having Charizard , Blastoise,and Venusaur was amazing they were so powerful. I didnt like how Pikachu couldn't evolve I didnt have him in my party cause he got beat up to easily. My main party was Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur, Zapdos, Mewtwo, and Pidgeot.
When Silver came out I wanted it for Christmas so bad and I was anxious to play it. Christmas eve I opened one of my presents guessing which one had Silver. I chose the wrong one and had to wait till the next day. I kept asking my mom is I could open the rest of them and eventually she gave in and said yes. I opened all my presents and sadly it wasnt there. I was upset and went to my room not caring about the other stuff I got. Then later my mom came in and gave me a present and I was like could it be! It was it was Silver version and a pokemon hat.
I put Silver in right away and started play I was so excited. New world, new pokemon, and new people how couldnt I be excited. I chose the water pokemon totodile. I always choose the water pokemon because I believe it can beat the fire and grass starters. How can you beat the grass pokemon if yours ia water you may ask? I teach my water pokemon ice moves which grass pokemon are weak too. The story was great you had to defeat 8 gym leaders to get badges to get into the pokemon to be the very best pokemon trainer. Also there was your rival Gary in yellow version which wanted to be the best as well so you had competition. The theme song was awesome as well it made me wanted to be the best there ever was.

Mini game review

It wasn't to hard making the mini game because I was walked through it. I imagine it will be stressful once I'm on my own. The best part of this topic was all of it I learned many things with flash cause I have never used it before. The worst part was grouping the objects and later drawing them will be nerve wrecking. I have some experience with coding. I went to Collins Career Center in Chesapeake and we did python and I remember doing if statements. Also we worked with multimedia fusion2.
I do play games in my free time. I mostly Play Halo3 and Rockband2 on my xbox360. I play halo cause it has an addicting multi player I can never get bored with it. I like playing rockband2 cause I love music and its a good way to get interested in different kind of music. I can't wait till Modern Warfare2 comes out I already have it reserved.

Review of Globaloria, and Flash games

The Globaloria games made by the students were pretty good. I played at least one game in each category and this is what I thought of the. Under the casual games I played Kute little aliens. The game looked fun it lets you choose where to go and tells you how to help your alien colony survive. Unfortuantly it had a bug adn couldnt finish the story. In the eduacational catogory I played Learn the bones. It was well organized and had everything right. You just match the bones to the pitcure givin and then you are reviewd on where they go. I picked Teen pregnancy for the social issue catogory. It gave you information about teen pregnancy while you moved. It was like candy land but about pregnancy and not candy lol. The thing I didnt like is sometimes it skipped the text and you could read the information.
For the flash games my first choice was The Cost of Life. What it is your a family of five trying survive daily life by working and going to school. You are givin a certain amount of money starting out and you choose from the five family member where to go like school or work. There are four years you need to surivive and if the parents die you lose the game. It is well played and looks good. It tells you whats going on with the family good and bad throughout the four years. One thing that would be neat to add would be able to walk to places rather then just clicking.
The second choice I made was Katrina: Tempest in Cresent City. It looked pretty good, it told you how to play and a story of what was going on with hurrican katrina which it was based off of.
I didnt like the controls much. I like having the spacebar to jump rather then the up and down arrow keys which I would rather have.
Two things I would like to learn how to do is how make a game that looks good and functions well and easy so anyone can play and how to make the conent look great and how to fix things when needed.
