All week we have been working on platform games. I was learnt a lot from doing this. I can now make things move, jump up, and I am getting better with coding. At first I didn't know at all how to work on platform games, now I am getting better and I can help other people now.
     This took a lot of hard work but I am still working hard on it. I have had some problems with it like incorrect coding but I went through and got everything correct. All of the animation don't work just yet but most does. I should have everything complete by the end of the week. 
     Everyone has been helping each other and I think that it's great. By watching that video that man explained it really good and I undetstand it better now. I think every globaloria class should learn how to make platform games. Thats all for this week thanks for reading!(:

Three Things I Have Learnt

I was learned to do many thing this past year even though it was hard it was still really fun. I learnt how to add animation to our game. I learnt how to add bottons onto our game. Also I have learnt how to improve our game.

The one thing I am very glad I learnt was adding animation to our game. It makes our game looks so much cooler and it't to use. I have no idea haw to add animation till one of my friends in globaloria taught me how. Now I really enjoy adding animation.

I also know how to add buttons. I'm not the best at adding buttons but I do try. It's kinda hard because of all the coding but after you do it so many times you start getting better and faster at it. If I keep on practicing I will start getting better at it.

Improving my game is pretty simple cause you will always find errors in your game that should be fixed. I always try to look over my game and make sure all the buttons and animations work right. If they don't work right I try to fix it. It's usually if I have my coding wrong. Coding can be really hard to do but I always try my best to have it right.

 As you can see I have learnt many new things during my last year of globaloria and I hope to continue to do good and keep on improving. I have learnt to add animation, add buttons, and how to improve my game better.

What's Next

Me and my team mates have been working really hard on our game and our team page. The next thing we are gonna be doing is adding more scenes and questions in our game. We worked on a lot of things like our game demo and we persenterd it to people from New York they gave our game a few comments and told us what we could inprove and we will probably us it to make it better. I think our game is gonna be really good as long as we keep up the good work. We are just about finished with our game we just need to clean up some stuff in it and then our coal mining game will be complete! I enjoy making this game because a lot of my family have or is working in the coal mines and it's good to teach people from other place what a big part of West Virginia really is. I exspect 8th grade students to get something out of my partner and I's game. Well thats all for this week have a great weekend!(:

Team Page

Your Game Demo should explain your game idea and show how the final game will look and be played. It should contain two parts:

1. Game Pitch (Answer questions and make notes below, then add to your Flash file)
  • Intro screen: All We know is mining Coal: West Virginia
  • Team Introduction: Alyssa: Game Demo/Title Scene Kaitlyn: Some Drawing Emily: Game Demo
  • Audience: We are designing our game for other eighth grader, because we had to make our game based on our grade.
  • Gameplay: The player mines coal and answers questions and find facts. You have to mine coal and answer questions correctly. The goal is to get through all of the levels.
  • Learning Goal: They will learn more about Coal in West Virginia
  • Fun Factor: Our game is fun to play, because you get to mine coal.
  • Smart Factor: You can learn about Coal in WV, by playing our game!
  • Style Factor: You will get to mine through the coal.
  • Originality Factor: Our game will be special, because you barley ever see coal mining games.
This is all the questions my partners and I have anwered about my game. I thinks our game demo was a success and went really good. I did notice some spelling errors but we will be fixing them soon. Well thats all for this week I hope everyone have a very Merry Christmas! :D

What you should do and not to do during a presentation

There are many things you should do during a presentation such as holding the paper down and not infront of your face, be serous and speek plainly. There are also many things you shouldn't do as well like goof off, mumble, or laugh. I think all theses things can inprove your presentation and make people be more interested in your game. Also a good note is to have feeling in your presentation and not just read from your paper if you do you still need to have emotions and excitement into it. Everyone have a great Friday!(:
