Home for the Hollidays

My dad has been in Florida for a long time and he's coming home for Chrsitmas. I can't wait to see him! He's coming home tomorrow and he's gonna pick me up from school. I look forward to going on a big snowboarding trip and watching sports near the fireplace on Christmas Eve. On Christmas we usually go out to eat at the Greenbrier. I hope today and tomorrow goes fast.

Snow Days

First I woke up at noon and went outside and found Waldo hiding in the snow. Waldo was about two feet tall and he said he was cold. So I told him he could come inside, but I tricked him and left him in the snow. After three days I offered him some hot chocolate and drank it right in front of him. He left without a word and I felt bad so I decided to give him some cookies.

I was on the computer and I bought a plane ticket to florida and realized Osama Bin Ladin was sitting next to me on the plane. I started the conversation and asked him how's life? He said those americans have been looking for me in Iraq this whole time while I've been living with my Aunt Jil in Loisiana. In the middle of our conversation Waldo jumped really high off the ground and landed on top of the plane and sat next to me. He came inside and sat next to me with a santa costume. I was afraid of santa, but he didnt know that, so I pushed him off the plane and i threw down the parachute after Iwaited five minutes of him falling. He was badly injured and I planned to visit him after my trip to Florida.

Paoer prototyping update

I am about finished with my first scene, im gong to save the actual game for the last part, and i'll do the helping scenes first.

Paper Prototyping

Today we start our paper prototyping tpday. I plan to work on it at home. I have a good idea at what my game is going to look like. I hope to get it done tonight, class will be cut short tomorrow because of early dismaissal for teacher meetings.

Imagining Your Game

My "imagining your game" in flash is done, I have some great ideas. Today the file won't upload do to a glitch, and my "imagining your game" has two scene: the introduction page and the information page. My game idea is going to be Daedalus' Maze because my game topic is Greek mythology. I have always been fascinated by it and I know a lot about the topic. That is why I chose it. Daedalus was one of the best architects of his time. He designed a maze that covered almost the whole world underground. The maze changes often so maps to the maze are almost useless. In my game there is a character who is trapped in the maze and you have to get to the center of the maze by answering mythological questions. In the center of the maze is the escape. You will have to figure out either a code or some riddles to escape the maze.

Minigame

I have finished my minigame. This year is different because we added a wolf that deducts points form your score. It was challenging and now I'm starting to get back in to all the code and I;m understanding everything in a better peerspective because I still know many of the things involving flash from last year.

Choosing a Game

I have some ideas about my game, but I'm not completely sure. I know that my topic is going to be about greek mythology. It is  going to explain how the Greeks had an explanation for just about everything. They have eleven main gods: Zeus, Poseidon, Hates (those are the main three), Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hephaustus, and Pan. But other than those gods, there are many others.

Game Idea

An idea for my game is for other people to learn about Greek mythology. I love Greek mythology and find it highly interesting. I learned much about Greek mythology while I read "The Percy Jackson" series. I have read all the books and I wouldn't stop reading them until I finished them. I have learned about many of the gods and it was easy to learn because they realted this to a mdern society, like everything was in the present. Everything you need to know about Greek mythology is explained in the book. So I think I have a head start with the information I have.

Internet Safety

  We have recently learned learned about Inetnet safety. Most people in the school know the basics of internet safety like not to talk to people you don't know, don't give away your location, those kind of things. We learned more information like about how you should change your password often because people will try to get onto one of your accounts. Following the guidlines we were given, we will be completely safe. You shouldn't just be careful only about the internet, but all technology you use to communicate with other people. Here is a link to a good video that teaches about technology safety including the internet:  

Playing to Learn

I have played two games in playing to learn and I have finished this segment. The two games I have played include "3rd World Farmer" and "Nothing but Net". 3rd World Farmer is about farming. Anything can happen in this game. It shows the importance of farming. You have to check what will happen and calculate the amount of money you make. It shows how farming is important and how everybody depends on farms for food. It also shows how anything can happen relating to the weather and how it will affect your animals and your crops. The other game I played it titled "Nothing but Net". Nothing but Net has to do with physics. There is a power meter and you have to stop it when you want to see how far you would like to shoot the ball. I don't know if it has to do with math because I didn't understand how it has to do with math, but I liked the game because it had to do with basketball. Overall I really like both of the games.
